Think Progress:
Members of ThinkProgress attended the Values Voters Summit in Washington, DC today. While we were there, we happened to see Fox News producer Jesse Watters and decided to try to interview him about why he stalked and ambushed ThinkProgress Managing Editor Amanda Terkel in March while she was on vacation in rural Virginia.
Thomas de Zengotita: Obama's Case for Sanity - Step One: Shun Fox
There is no such thing as "Fox News." Every citizen with a platform -- every politician, writer, professor, every talking head in the land who still has a conscience -- should shun Fox.

Big deal, that's like going after Couric, Gibson, Williams for throwing softballs at Obama, yawn.
Watters has come about because the MSM refuses to ask the tough questions and they continue to be the lap dog of the left...
Not really . Those people you mentioned , while being part of MSM , don't follow a woman and confront them on vacation , they have some sense of decorum and even a little sense of fairness. Watters is actually hoping to provoke them and springs out from nowhere to confront and bait his subjects . His stalking approach to journalism is intended to invoke fear and is , bullying by nature.
While I do agree that MSM has surely lost it's edge , I think Fox and their people are beyond being considered a legit news source as they are so obviously the tools of Murdoch . I'm very confused when you say they are , any of MSM , the "lap dog of the left" . The phrase certainly has a way of rolling off the tongue , but it's not even close to being fact . If anything , they have proved , during the recent Bush/Cheney admin , to follow the right wing , in my opinion . The Bushes and Reagan couldn't seem to do anything that raised an eyebrow , even Iran-Contra and or our present wars . Gas prices went from less than one dollar when Bush took office . Where are they now ? Who are the strong ties Cheney has with , and Bush , well they gave him a pass on everything . His family and the House of Saud are like family , they are that tight . "Lap
this little coward couldn't answer a single question.
Hey Jesse,How does it feel to take a swallow of your own medicene?
I hope this guy, watters, gets harassed mercilessly.
Guess ol' Jesse isn't that comfortable dealing with someone using the same tactics on him. Coward.

I see this fellow ( and here I assume the Bill o Reily persona ) and I think to myself , he's a clean cut guy , he seems reasonable enough , why does he have to stalk people who are trying to make the world a better place ? Then I return to reality , shedding the skin of Bill o Reily , and I say to myself , "How does this guy sleep at night ". There is a word for these kinds of people but I think I will leave it to someone else to furnish those .
Think his mother is proud of him? I don't.
You know , that is the true measure , is it not , of our integrity ? A brilliant query , and I think you are right , she likely is not . His famous father is likely not , either .
Well , no , he doesn't have a famous father . I confused my Fox players. OOOPS !
Because the MSM refuses to do their job and they continue to be the lap dog of the left...our free market society is great!
Yeah. He never heard of that organization, yet he says he called there twice to the "main number." YOU LIE!
I'd love to see this guy staked out for weeks on end and then have him followed on vacation. Preferably without a cameraman.
This dude is straight out of the pages of a Neil La Bute play!
Don't be getting all "Dennis Miller-like" with us, because I am basically an uncultured slime pig. (Props to J. Godoert).
he is creepy... listen to how talks about the ambush... "we went after... (her)"
