First entire hour of Fox and Friends: Not one word about the rally.

[iamwhatiseem]

Seriously...WTF?
In the first entire hour of Fox and Friends this morning and the rally has not yet merited even a mention??

 

[uscitizen]

Fairly unbalanced.

 

[California Girl]

So?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

So far all I have seen on other networks is how the rally's attendance was larger than Becks.

Yeah, no other news outlet even mentioned it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What rally?

Yeah, no other news outlet even mentioned it.

Did they not?
To me it doesn't matter what the rally was about.
If several hundred thousand people gathered to protest the stickeness of marshmallows it would be on the news.

 

[dilloduck]

I thought it was pretty entertaining and funny. Maybe they will review it like a movie or a play on Broadway.

 

[Stephanie]

oh brother..fox didn't mention the Stewart party in the FIRST HOUR.

 

[uscitizen]

This place would make a great place for a Psych working on research into mental issues related to political stances.

Honestly, I don't know why you watch "Fox and Friends". It looks like just another inane chit chat show.

FoxNews DID cover it by the way. Here it is on their website:
Fear, Sanity, and Laughs at DC Rally | Foxnews.com

The National Park Service no longer provides immediate crowd estimates, but Stewart jokingly estimated that there were 10 million people in attendance at the rally. And then he asked the crowd to jump at the same time to try to cause a seismic event.​

Good.

Other networks (the wholly liberal ones, which is to say, most of the rest) are giving it undue coverage as though that nonsense amounted to "news."

It was never designed to be non-partisan. It was a lib event. This is why the liberal mainstream media tried to make it into something it wasn't, i.e., valuable.

FOX is not..a news channel. Focus people..focus.

 

[California Girl]

So, the media, much like the whiners on the board, are bickering about numbers. What a pity that not one of them seems to have latched on to Stewart's closing remarks. The reason for that MAY lie in within those remarks.... because he was not overly enthusiastic about the 24/7 'news' channels - ANY OF THEM.

And, of course, he didn't slate the TEA Parties, the GOP or anyone else.... except real racists, real bigots and real terrorists.

Yep, I figure that's the reason why the content was ignored.

Yes it is, actually. It just doesn't come wrapped in your liberal agenda, and so you are offended.

Oh well. No liberal media monopoly for you.

agreed---anyone who could come away from that rally thinking it was some kind of victory for any political persuasion is in intentional denial. It was clearly a shot a politics a usual and the news media done in a non threatening and humorous fashion.

 

[FlyingReganite]

Was there another 100 man march yesterday?

Damn it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Fox treated this with all the seriousness it deserved

 

[Liability]

Was there another 100 man march yesterday?

Damn it.

"CBS News [sic]" has estimated the crowd size as anywhere between 100 MILLION and 250 Million.
