Networks respond to false Fox ad
Posted: September 18th, 2009


WASHINGTON (CNN) — Fox News is under fire for a newspaper ad they purchased Friday that inaccurately accused its competitors, including CNN, of failing to cover last weekend's Tea Party protests in Washington.

"How did, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN miss this story?" Fox's newspaper ad asks.

The answer: They didn't.

CNN provided live coverage of the rally in Washington on Saturday, dispatching more than a dozen personnel, including multiple camera crews and the CNN Express Bus, to cover the event. Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser was live at Freedom Plaza; Correspondent Kate Bolduan reported live from the Capitol and throughout the crowd; All Platform Journalist Jim Spellman provided live hits all day after traveling for weeks on the Tea Party Express Bus; and CNN Correspondent Lisa Desjardins was live for CNN and CNN Radio from the National Mall.

The teabagger organizer cited ABC's numbers(falsely) at the event. Now they want to claim they weren't there.

I remember seeing the coverage on CNN that day and was thinking it was getting over played.

CNN did have coverage of these tea parties. I heard that Glenn Beck said that there were at least a million protesters there. I heard Ed's radio show that the Washington DC Fire Department that there were around 65,000, and the protest happened in DC. Beck wasn't there, he was in New York. Hannity was outside of Fresno, California, lending support to the farmers out there and saying his usual anti-Obama rhetoric.

It's idiotic to suggest they weren't covered at all. It's appropriate that Fox covered it to a much greater extreme than their competitors, it was their event, afterall.

How about the Fox producer prompting the crowd for when to cheer at rallies?
How does one explain THAT?

Poor Fox. Such victims. Such humanitarians. So "fair & unbalanced."
