Perfect example of free speech!!!! You gotta love it!!!!

THIS JUST IN: NEW HEADLINE.....

A FOX news reporter intending on MAKING news, walked unto a parade of protestors got what he wanted.

How do they not believe in freedom of speech because they don't want to talk to Fox? I believe protesting on the streets is exercising freedom of speech. Just because you don't get the interview or audio clips (to exploit) that you wanted, Fox, doesn't mean someone doesn't believe in freedom of speech.

I HATE FOX NEWS!

Tolerant liberals.

[Hirnlego]

Yeah, and "good journalism".

"Do you not believe in freedom?!" What kind of question is that really?

[SuiginTou7]

Out of Control? My thanks goes out to those protestors. They did something we wished we all could do. You guys are wonderful!!!!.

At least they didn't have a message on the screen calling them Liberals.

Liberals are what will change this country:

"....if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties.. if that is what they mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal. " ~ John F. Kennedy

Yes, great quote. Here's a more recent favorite of mine from The West Wing:


Santos: It's true. Republicans have tried to turn liberal into a bad word. Well, liberals ended slavery in this country.

Vinick: A Republican President ended slavery.

Santos: Yes, a liberal Republican; what happened to them, Senator? They got run out of your party! What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party? I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

Leave it to FOX to do their best to find anything negative they can during this convention. You can be sure that they'll be working just as hard during the GOP's convention to HIDE anything negative!

Fox can thank their buddy Rush for his wonderful idea to disrupt the DNC as part of operation chaos.

Fox News can't handle the truth because they don't report truth.

[IntelligentDesign]

"I guess they don't believe in free speech"?

They believe in free speech alright; they also are smart enough to not throw red meat to the propaganda arm of the very people and institutions they are protesting against, in the middle of the protest.

I don't blame the reporter for behaving like a barker at a carnival sideshow, he is only following orders - perhaps someday he can be deprogrammed and rejoin civil society.

Faux News is becoming more circus-like every day, and once order and decency are restored to the land under Obama-Biden they will be reduced to but a howling in the night air.

[triplbee]

Is this really what passes for news on Fox? God, I need a drink.

[InofTouch]

And yet I love Fox News for this because really you ain't going to see something like this on PBS, CNN & MSNBC

[circusfifthfloor]

Get use to it guys. This is only the beginning. And that trailer....hell, you know Uncle /Roger would love to insert Communists for Leftists. ....CFF

The GOP is known for planting "protesters" into crowds that are more the anarchist type, etc. then using them to paint a picture of Dems as loonies. We have to be careful--regular protesters not the faux ones set up for faux news to zoom in on, need to somehow broadcast to the world that these protesters are phonies!!

[LibRS]

Please tell me you really don't believe that.

OReilly sending one of his acolytes to hunt down the quote 'smear merchants'
who have apparently smeared him in an article in NewsDay, 'not so nice he says.'
Really?
