FOX News: Fake and Staged


FOX News, after running nearly non-stop free publicity coverage for the 9-12 Project's March on Washington a bit over a week ago, took out an ad complaining that other networks failed to report on it at all:
Of course, that claim isn't true. But it's FOX, so truth is just something that gets in the way of the story they would like to tell.

The REALLY exciting stuff comes from Media Matters. They obtained footage from the event where it shows a producer from FOX "News" trying to energize the crowd before their live broadcast. They succintly describe the event as "Fair & Balanced? More like Fake & Staged." So much for the grassroots aspect of this protest.

FOX has since apologized for being caught.
