ROTFLMAO! So, you ignorantly compare not airing a two-minute interview of a nut-job talking about his conspiracy theories to the concerted efforts by all of the lamestream media outlets to remain silent and/or try to BURY stories like:

* John Edwards fathering a baby out of wedlock with his videographer, getting an associate to lie about being the father, and illegally using campaign funds to support Rielle Hunter;

* The Obama Justice Department walking away from a slam-dunk conviction of patently illegal voter intimidation in the Black Panther Party case;

* The Obama Justice Department allowing thousands of firearms to be walked into Mexico without apprehending the violators and without tracking the weapons, and when some of those weapons are used to kill U.S. agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens, Attorney General Holder lies about it to Congress;

* The Obama Energy Department giving away billions of dollars to "green energy" companies connected to or owned by Obama's political cronies, and when these companies start going under, the Obama Administration says nothing and continues to provide more such loans and loan guarantees.

And that is just a few of the stories on which the lamestream media overtly carries water for Democrats! The ONLY reason any of the lamestream media outlets ever started mentioning these issues, late in the game, is because the word got out and they simply couldn't afford to stonewall them anymore.

So, an unused tape of Jesse LaGreca is the best you've got? BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! How lame. Rolling Eyes

clo, you are a pathetic hypocrite, dearie.

Cheers!

The Occupy Wall Street Interview Fox Didn't Want You To See

October 03, 2011 2:57 pm ET by Karen Famighetti

On Friday, a segment on The O'Reilly Factor featured producer Jesse Watters speaking with protesters at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration and concluding that they are the "sludge" of "every single left-wing cause" put into a blender. The segment was clearly intended to cast the protesters in a negative light.

Watch the video:
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201110030019

The video shows Fox correspondent Griff Jenkins interviewing Jesse LaGreca at the protest. LaGreca is member of the Occupy Wall Street movement and in the video speaks articulately about various issues including the media's focus on minor issues such as Obama's birth certificate rather than the important issues facing the country, the difficult conditions faced by the middle class, and Fox News' role in putting the spotlight on Glenn Beck and his comment that Obama is a "racist."

The New York Observer reports that the interview was filmed on September 28 for On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, but it doesn't seem to have aired.

So, to recap, Fox News chose to air a video composed of snippets of Occupy Wall Street protesters speaking, giving various reasons for their presence at the rally, and then concluded that there was no unified reason for the protest. It neglected to air a video of one of the protesters making a lucid, reasoned argument for change and equality and holding Fox accountable for its behavior. Fair and balanced, as usual.

On a similar note, while Fox has been deriding the Occupy Wall Street protests, it heavily promoted Tea Party protests in 2009. For more on this, see here.
