A provocative full-page newspaper ad from Fox News drew heated reactions from its rivals today and one demand that The Washington Post apologize for running it.
Over photos of protesters gathering for an "anti-tax" rally in Washington last Saturday, the ad asked: "How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?"
They can't handle the truth.
Fringe media flatuence.
the coed in the short skirt and the banner screaming “ACORN advises smuggling 13 year olds into CA for sex ring”...they would have killed with that ad...no one but us STILL knows the details...
WAY TO GO FOX!!!!!!!!!!
If I am not mistaken, these other stations had a close up shot of a citizen carrying an assualt rifle and a pistol in open view, just miles away and a few hours before the President was to arrive somewhere else.
They also carefully cropped the pictures you could not see that the person who was exercising his 2 ammendments right was black - but mentioned the fear of a white activist shooting a black president - because everyone just knows that to oppose Obama is to be a racist.
Anybody got a scan?
Wipe out the kiddienewsmedia
We need a complete list of sponsors for these media whores so we can boycott them...let the games begin in earnest!
The MSM is on the ropes! Go Fox!
I guess Kurtz’ position arguably is correct. It all depends on the meaning of “covered”. In Kurtz’ mind, the fact that the MSM coverage was very limited and misleading doesn’t mean they didn’t “cover” the story.
Funny how the State Run Media responds immediately to Fox’s ad but virtually ignored or dismissed the stories about the town halls, DC protests, and Acorn....
In their face. Way to go FOX.
These days it doesn’t take much to touch a leftist nerve. The truth hurts. And what’s with this mania for demanding apologies everytime someone says something the left doesn’t like—most especially when the comment is the truth.
Uh oh, I think I answered my own question. It’s that pesky thing called truth. Sometimes it just doesn’t know its place.
Fox is in the drivers seat- us “Teabaggers” are now turning the anger towards the criminal liberal media- Fox is playing to it’s base, no different from the ratings laggards at CNN/See BS/NBC/etc....the only difference is Fox allows dissenting points so view- the criminal liberal media now refers to dissent as racism....
hey charlie gibson- have you heard about acorn yet???
well, until O’Really stops with the “75,000” attendees, they have a snake in the grass.
Hey, socialist crybabies, it is called free speech. Try reading the First Amendment sometime and taking it to heart as you bash anti-obama conservatives with "racist" and other insulting (and incorrect) labels.
In fact, try reading at least the Bill of Rights, if not the entire Constitution.
The funny thing is, The Washington Post sold Fox the ad. That is the Washington Post that is so desperate for ad revenue they run three “wedding supplements” a year, and all kinds of other advertising stuff everyone throws away without even opening, include sections full of nothing but falsehoods and spin. Please. Howard, these ads are paying your salary.
‘Go Home!’: DC Crowd Drowns Out CNN Reporter During Live Report (Best video...ever)
Way to go Fox.
Liberal media attacking liberal media. I need more popcorn. This is getting good.
Its crazy. I thought the left was as enraged as they could ever be over the 2000 election. Now they’re ten times more enraged despite holding a firm grip on government.
They’ve become rabid over the fact that we still exist and that we still speak. I’m not sure their rage can be quenched by anything short of punishing us and that isn’t going to happen without a fight from us.
What’s that Alinksy rule about pissing off your opponent so they’ll show their true selves (or something like that)?
You can’t change the title
Does anyone have a copy of the ad?
They iz just jealooouuusss becuz their ratingz iz tanking.
When a liberal protest is happening - even if it's 17 gay people with 8 signs - the MSM interviews people. THEY DIDN'T INVERVIEW PROTESTERS WHEN THEY WERE CONSERVATIVE. When the liberal protest is over the Nets discuss it. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN EITHER.
FOX called this one right - the MSM ignored the protest because we don't fit their "story line"...
Fox just needs to change it’s motto from “We report, you decide” to “We report what the other networks won’t”.
Or what the meaning of "is" is. Kurtz is pathetic. I've watched him on Unreliable Sources several times recently and at every turn he's just been a CYA toady for the anti-Fox Fringe Media. He is not believable.
And Charlie Gibson still hasn’t “heard” about ACORN.
Heavily covered meaning they said only 30-70 thousand people showed up - then claimed the video of it was manipulated or not the same day ... all sorts of denials ...
A football analogy: the mainstream media is backing one of the teams in the Superbowl. Their team loses. They describe the stadium, the attendance, the price of a ticket, the quality of the hot dogs, everything except the name of the winning team, the touchdown drives, and the final score. But they would have “covered” the event.
The common common English interpretation to the phrase “Missing a story” is the same as when a child **misses** a question on a test. Ie. they made a mistake or error
What Fox means when they claim their competitors missed the story, is they made mistakes in how they covered it. Not that they didn’t cover it.
Now that they have the attenetion of the DBM, FoxNews can run a correction ad describing exactly the tiny bit of "covering" the other media did and when they did it. Comparison pictures are really helpful. Fox can then say, if you want the whold story, watch Fox.
That's what this guy said.
Fox News is creating a nitche. We report all the news, you decide.
The old media is reporting whatever news advances the liberal cause and dismisses, minimizes, slanders, spins or ignores the rest.
This has the old media fuming because this isn’t the type of publicity that is going to help retain their dwindling audience.
What’s the lie - the FOX covers all the news? Otherwise, it’s just a question and doesn’t identify what story the question pertains to. I think the news agencies will have a hard time making their case. But good job on their part showing what a bunch of whiners they are.
We Report ... You Bang the Erasers!
EXCELLENT! It's about time, ain't it? IMO, the political Right has been too polite, too diplomatic, & too afraid to call a spade a spade. I hope that Mr. Beck will increase his criticism of the Left, & pi$$ them off immensely.
This could be first in a series - #2 is How did they miss the Commie Czar Van Jones story? #3 is How did they miss the Acorn story? And so forth.
Van
Jones
Andrew Breitbart, told Fox he purposely spread out the release of the Acorn tapes, to illustrate how the MSM (old media) is not working.
Absolute Total Boycott of Those Puppets Cnn msfullofbs...acb...ncb...is what a true American will Do no matter what race...no matter what income..no matter puffhuff ...we need to support Fox News...why
..they tell us more Truth...its that simple...when you walk in and see Cnn you are surrounded by an agenda....These false speaking networks are being paid to lie to you...when will those who voted for this Chicago Kenya Apppoogize...probably not till Heavens Door....there won’t be Democrats in Heaven. Pray that Dual Citizen Is Exposed....he and his farmers market bed partner are tied to acorn...THANK YOU FOX NEWS...THANK YOU FOX AMERICANS
THAT is a great ad. It shows the scope of the protest and that surely is not the story the other networks covered. They reported something that huge by pushing it back three or four stories into the tv news, like it was some little thing.
and ... "WHAT ELSE AREN'T THEY TELLING YOU????"
Way to go Fox News!
When people cannot get any facts from the Lamestream media other than a slobbering worshipfest of the Obama administration, they are tanking as credible news sources right and left.
And their ATTACKS on US citizens is just beyond the pale!
I still go post on CBS even though they ban me every day, just to get some FACTS out there! Those people look at NOTHING but CBS and refuse to give credibility to FACTS about this administration and it’s corruption.
BOR is a capitulating POS.
