Highlights From Fox News Promoted Tea Parties

http://mediamatters.org/

Fox News, whose coverage has repeatedly crossed the line separating news and legitimate commentary from political activism and demagoguery, has aggressively promoted the anti-Obama "tea party" protests both on- and off-air and has repeatedly encouraged viewers to get involved. Its par for the course for a network that has been seized by a culture of conservative paranoia that has run rampant since President Obamas inauguration, with its hosts accusing the president of every -ism in the book and making increasingly dire predictions about the consequences that Obamas policies will have for the country. Fox News unprecedented promotion of a political protest has not been lost on other news networks.

Hey! Remember how big those protests were?

[japeye62]

Why has nobody started a Beer Party???

[StoogeWatcher]

And I suppose CNN, MediaMatters, MSNBC, and the New York Times didn't promote all those anti-war rallies five years before? Liberal hypocrites all over.

[ibilldavis]

your point?

[ajdavidson11292]

The meaning of the word liberalism honestly lost its meaning when the left turned super socialist. You want public healthcare? Along with all these subsidies from your pocket? You want to become a European socialist state? It's amazing how many people have become so opposed to the view of actual freedom and they are doing it in order to be "fair". its disgusting. You people are asleep.

@StoogeWatcher So one person called the military extremist, which by the way is not referring to veterans, makes the whole left into veteran haters. Either i'm missing something, you're stupid or your argument is pathetic. i'm going to go with the latter two. The fact is you have no real talking point so you say stupid things like 'the left hates veterans' when what you meant was somebody from the left said the military are extremists. You stupid for using artificial bs to prove a moot point

[StoogeWatcher]

@rza1m How about that DHS report where Napolitano called the military "extremist."

[StoogeWatcher]

@epsilon8998 You are the one who got assraped, lefty. How are those Hamas rallies?

[rza1m]

@StoogeWatcher You're obvious attempt at trying to appear intelligent baffles me. Your whole thought process is stupid and weird frankly. So, what you're trying to say is when somebody has an abortion they are inadvertently supporting white supremacy? Seriously?

To your second point. If you honestly believe that all 'liberals' hate veterans can you please provide some clear reasoning and evidence to support that. Other wise you just come across as ignorant right-wing fool.

@StoogeWatcher Wow, you actually came back after that long? Did you finally just now stop crying after that ass beating? Or were still hurtin from when your daddy raped you?
