Fox News Reporter Heckled By Wisconsin Protesters Chanting 'Tell The Truth' (VIDEO)

A Fox News reporter was heckled by a crowd of Wisconsin protesters who chanted, "tell the truth!" during his entire report on Monday.

It was the second time that a Fox reporter received a less-than-friendly welcome from the protesters, who are fighting the Republican governor's attempt to end collective bargaining for Wisconsin's public sector workers. On Saturday, Fox Business reporter Jeff Flock was nearly drowned out by chants of "Fox lies." This time, it was Fox News reporter Mike Tobin who received the brunt of the crowd's animus towards the channel.

"Shep, you're going to have to listen above the hecklers as I answer your question," he told anchor Shepard Smith. The chants persisted through Tobin's entire exchange with Smith. When he finished his report, Smith said, "Mike Tobin, with not a lie in the bunch," a reference to the earlier incident.

Fox news is a joke. In Canada it is against the law to lie on tv. I was wondering if people could email abc,nbc and cbs and tell them we want fair and non biased news. Just the truth. Anybody have any links to the news channels?

Fox News Lies: The Mike Tobin Attack:

"Fox News has reported that Mike Tobin was "attacked," "punched," "hit," and "battered," yet has not released any footage of the attack despite the fact it occurred during filming. This is because it didn't happen. How do I know? Because this is the video I took of the incident. "

Tobin has been hit, and now threatened to get his neck broken by a demonstrator at the union rally in Wisconsin.

Of course, this isn't news worthy here at HuffPost.

Could that be because it didn't happen?

Just might be why :-) look at the comment above by a witness who says it didn't happen

He can see the hate in their eyes? Is he a psychiatrist? No, he's projecting his own biased opinion onto the demonstrators. He complains that he was hit, when he was merely jostled. You don't hear Anderson Cooper whining like this guy.

Too funny. I would love to hear chants of "Fox lies!" during every single live segment.

America doesn't have "news" shows anymore.
It's all Propaganda now....
They're so good at it now,
They make the Nazi's of the 1940s look like amateurs.

There is a lot of propaganda. Nobody can deny that. But I can't let a statement this exaggerated pass. Comparing political pundits to the National Socialist movement is cheap and ridiculous. There is no attempt to quantify such a pronouncement and no statement trying to say in what way the pundits have surpassed the Nazi's in disseminating propoganda. I am tired of every reference I see to communists, socialists, Nazi's, fascists or any other political agenda you fail to properly understand. Nice trolling. Enjoy your lulz

This is Propaganda, this is what the the republicans are good at.
Especially the Hate, and demonizing part......They are so so good at demonizing, Listen to the radio ... listen to Fox and Glen Beck...listen to the hate and visceral fears that are sown by the cable and radio "opinion" shows. These shows are telling their listeners that our government¬, Obama and the Liberals, are evil and destroying America. It is sad that you see no correlation to the anger and hate of the 1940s, I believe that is your error. And happy trolling to you too. Enjoy.

Fox news is completely OUT THERE propaganda.  I defy you to truthfully say different

It would be a good thing, if every time a faux noise reporter showed up at anything, They were reminded to TELL THE TRUTH very loudly and constantly, so it couldn't be edited out.

They are infamous for their creative editing, just like Breibart.

If they told the truth they would have to find a new audience

Collective bargaining is connected to federal funds that the State receives and must remain intact for the funds to continue. Unfortunate that Fox news didn't discuss those important aspects.
Then to refer to Dem's as Fugitives?
Fox news is detrimental to the health of this Country

Why don't the feds follow their own rules? Federal workers are not allowed the right of collective bargaining, but the Federal Government will hold back funds from States that don't allow it?

The law says it is OK for Fox to lie . They were taken to court and they won , so they can lie . Their new shows should have a crawl on the bottom that says " we can legally lie " and then , everything is OK .

It's amazing how many idiots choose sides over twisted news stories.
If anyone had half a brain they would know all news media twists stories to some degree.
We got into this mess by BOTH political parties catering to special interests, selling the public financially short for their own gain, and a million other "self-centered" reasons none of which was good for all Americans.
If you people REALLY paid attention to all avenues of news you would find twisted stories all around, not just Fox,,,,,,, who turns out to be the most blatant about it.
