They can give their message to any other network(s).

FOX is not the only game in town.

Even in "free speech" one can choose what outlet to speak in.

[lennix]

[MalloMel]

I think you forgot something.

[kimofAZ]

Yeah, no one wants to talk with FOX News because here's a news flash "IT'S NOT REAL NEWS".

Fox news is "fake" news and I DO spread the word! Fox needs to GO AWAY!

[gaby]

Freedom of Speech also means Freedom not to Speak.

I'm glad people are not giving legitimacy to FOX. It is amazing how they create their own stories through their use of adjectives, verbs and well, opinionated lies.

Republicans have to love seeing stuff like that on TV. Its a good reminder to normal Americans just how nutty the left has become.

[MalloMel]

Why, because the people refused to talk to Fox News. Come on, you can do better than that. Freedom of speech includes the freedom not to speak. Look it up.

[LeftVetPatriot]

Democrats have to love seeing stuff like that on TV. Its a good reminder to normal Americans just how nutty the "media" has become.

[Rjmartinelli]

Meanwhile, you're more than happy to off the hip segregate them as a "leftist" group; immediately dismissing the thoughts and feelings of fellow American citizens and demonizing them in this fabricated partisan war that Faux has been stirring up for the last 12 years.

And no I do not dislike Faux because of their political leanings. I dislike them because they do a miserable job at fact checking, will spin any story into whatever message they want to say, have no troubles trying to spread fear and domestic terror through news reports (look up the Fox11 report on Anonymous, or the Fox report on the Nintendo DS sometime), and are actively trying to create political division within the country for their own ratings.

The younger generation has no tolerance or patience for them. That's why so many younger voters consider themselves independents.

*Priceless* I loved the spin that the studio reporter tried to put on it. *Hahahahahaha* Still, the question remains, "Who thinks Rupert Murdoch got the the message?" Now all we need is for CNN to get the same treatment. Hopefully now the message that perhaps people are relying on more than one news source for their information will be somewhat clearer to the so-called "main stream media".

Too Funny!!!

[SeeDaddy]

Are Faux News and Jenkins that clueless? Or were they trying to create an incident they could exploit?

Correction: the people in he crowd were expressiing their feelings quite clearly - FFN!

[gascelebrations]

The only ones "creating an incident" that I can see are the professional protesters who show up at events like this all the time with absolutely nothing to say, and no point to their fun 'n' games except to call attention to themselves. Their radical chic act is tiresome, boring, empty - devoid of any point except to perpetuate the long-revered pseudoradical myth that change is external. That may have been the case in 1955, it sure wasn't in 1968 (it produced the Nixon administration), and in 2008 it smacks of staged nostalgia. For all you puppet-carriers: get a clue, drop the puppet, grow up, and change from the inside. That's the lesson of BO, too bad you're preventing the rest of the country from learning it with your antics.

[MalloMel]

Give it a rest.

[mock12bird]

Having taken part in the above sensationalized "raucous" march, I can assure you no one was paid to be there, and no one was out of control, as the shaky camera work might make you think. How small minded for you to think these people are there to bring attention to themselves. Maybe the name "recreate 68" wasn't the best choice, but the people marching (many of whom were families and children) are marching for change. Very few people have access to "change from the inside", leaving peaceful congregation and protest as the only voice for a largely voiceless public. Denver has not been wild, dangerous, or incendiary. Don't believe the media hype.

[kmdippenger]

I went to DC to protest the surge in Jan '07 and when I later saw the coverage of the event by the MSM, I thought that maybe I had been at a different event. The democrats who are attending this convention will feel the same way after watching news clips such as this one that is hardly representative of the event.

[gascelebrations]

Thanks for protesting. You accomplished nothing. But at least you had loads of fun reliving what you thought the 1960's must have been like!

[dannyo152]

Silence is consent. You must agree or you wouldn't have made your feeble attempt to embarrass someone for exercising their right of assembly and dissent.

Want to read something really scary?

Some thanks to RushLiberal for my doing a search on something he posted.

I hope it wasn't Bobby Kennedy's son Douglas that was swarmed (he works as a reporter for Fox News). That family has had enough heartache.

Shame on whomever did this.

[jvarga]

Did you watch the video? The reporter walked out into the middle of the crowd as it marched by.

[realityczech4u]

Altamont!

Altamont!

Altamont!

Where are the Hell's Angels when you really need them?

[connorin]

gee, there has NEVER been a reporter that did that before!

/sarc off

[MalloMel]

"I hope it wasn't Bobby Kennedy's son Douglas that was swarmed (he works as a reporter for Fox News)."

Isn't it strange how there seems to be a weirdo in every sizable family. You don't have to look hard. They just seem to jump out at you.

[gttim]

Disgraceful! Horrible! Disgusting!

Calling Fox "News."

[TomNY]

LOL

[DonnaS64]

I got a tear. They make me so proud.

[Whinger]

Jeez! Sounded just like John McCain on one of his legendary foul mouthed excursions!

Food for thought foxy!

[caseyblab]

More accurate to say that the "reporter" literally ran into the crowd. Can you be "swarmed" if you do the running? Maybe Mr. Griff can try that in one of those biker rallies and demand they explain themselves to him. He was something out of Saturday Night Live. If you waved a fact over Fox News, it would explode.
