One of the tossers from Fixed Noise went trolling for comments among an anti-war demonstration. When several protesters made it clear they wanted nothing to do with Faux News, he turned up the flamebait. Asking one of the demonstrators what his message was, the marcher said "Stop the torture; stop the war", to which this little wanker of "journalist" asked: "Do you not believe in freedom?"
To which the crowd started chanting:
FUCK FOX NEWS!
The best part was the fucktard reporter and the studio anchor clutching the pearls with shock and disbelief.
I love how the apparent definition of "freedom of speech" to the nitwit reporter is "you have to talk to me because I have a microphone."
“There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind who think it’s perfectly reasonable to strip-search a 13-year-old girl suspected of bringing ibuprofen to school, and the kind who think those people should be kept as far away from children as possible … Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between drug warriors and child molesters.” - Jacob Sullum[/size][/align]
The moment I saw "Leftist" seriously used on the pop-up tagline, I knew that the video would be a classic.
I'm honestly not sure if the "anchor" and "reporter" shown are simply playing up the "Demo-commies are divided and insane" angle for their viewers, or if they're actually delusional enough to think that FOX News is a legitimate conduit of free expression. Both prospects are similarly grim.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: freedom of expression ends at fraud. FOXNews, by claiming to be "fair and balanced" (or for that matter, using the word "news" rather than "opinions" in their self-description) is defrauding the public.

They clearly did not expect to see the vitriol towards Pravda, er…FOX News from the “far left” protesters (why are all Democrats “far left” in FNC’s eyes? Do they think that moderates stay home or just don’t exist?),

That's not true. I'm sure they would have regarded Benito Mussolini as a moderate.

Not a chance, he made the trains run on time. Consolidating them under the control of the government instead of allowing the free market to regulate them is clearly socialism.

Actually, he just declared that they arrived on time. Almost no actual work to improve the rail network was done during the fascist dictatorship, the notion is just a enduringly successful piece of propaganda.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
The irony that this was more or less the exact tactic Fox and other Right Wing nutjobs have been using for the last 8 years or so, just drown out counter arguments by screaming loudly in unison, makes it all the sweater. The look of shock on these peoples face as they are utterly unable to DOMINATE an interview or a conversation the way they usually do is just AWESOME.

They aired alot of 'Generic Protestor Shots', said the protestors 'Got a little rough' and joked about the "Reporter" being in danger. A bunch of cliche' 'Hey, that's a liberal ticket, you stupid liberals, you must all think alike, because conservatives think alike.'. And ended with a surprisingly honest statement: They will continue to send him back to 'cause trouble'.

I am willing to bet that this little segement didn't make it on the nightly news. Not keeping with the fine tradition of putting the family first like a good Republican and keeping those naughty liberals in their place! Yeah, this is just great and stuff.
