MoveOn At FOX HQ: "Talk About A Publicity Stunt Gone Bad" > UPDATE: One press person who watched the "parade" said 20 to 25 MoveOn.org members were on hand. About 15 reporters were present, including camera crews from local TV stations and correspondents for the cable trade publications... MoveOn.org handed out "Outfoxed" DVD's outside FOX's NYC headquarters today, and unveiled their FTC petition. But: "Talk about a publicity stunt gone bad," a FOX employee writes to CableNewser. "Maybe it was the wet, drizzly weather, but for all of MoveOn's attempt at bravado, they failed miserably." Apparently only a handful of MoveOn members were on hand. "It was a pretty ominous sign to see one of the event organizers nervously surveying the landscape of no-shows and quickly folding up a MoveOn.org banner within minutes of arriving," the staffer says. "And then to watch them repeatedly try to scotch tape their 'petition' to a wet window was even worse. The staffers were trying to peddle DVD's to literally anyone who walked out of the building (which houses numerous other companies) and most people just kept walking and didn't even look at them -- the MoveOn people literally looked like those guys who stand on every street corner in Manhattan trying to peddle discount coupons to strip clubs." 1:45:20 PM
They have CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Washington Post, AP, Reuters...yet they demand Fox News too.
They sound like Communists, who cannot allow even one facet of the media disagree with their agenda.
"Bowelmoveon.org is dedicated to debunking the misrepresentations and half truths about conservatism and the conservative point of view."

Cool. I did not know that.
Hmm...now, wouldn't it be great if Fox just happened to have a camera on these clowns, and just happened to edit the funnier scenes into a "fair and balanced" report?
maybe just maybe the members of moveon.org will get a clue, the rabbit is out of the hat and everyone knows they are the ones that compare Bush to Hitler. Maybe the should just move on.
How about this one?
--I think all Freepers should change our taglines to "fair and balanced" on fridays. It would certainly irk Moveon, the DUh and other minions.--
I like that idea!!
fair and balanced fridays
Let's just hope for bad weather. Might not stop any Islamists, but it should put a dent in these fair-weather fanatics :)
Got it from their homepage:http://www.bowelmoveon.org/.

"The conservative viewpoint is frequently misrepresented by major media outlets, print media, websites, universities, and other news outlets which hold a liberal bias. The truth about conservatism is that it promotes good public values, order, and well being of our country. This site is dedicated to revealing the bias and in some cases the outright lies of these unbalanced media outlets."
I know you know the answer to your rhetorical question, South40, but for those who don't...MoveOn.org was SUPPORTING the big fat liar! The story behind their orgnization's name is that they believed that in spite of the furor which led to Clinton's impeachment, they wanted the nation to "move on."
Raising money to keep the liar in office.

Pray for rain on election day in the northeast, and in every university community in the nation.
Isn't it interesting how much press Move-on.org and Michael Moore get?
Not a bad idea, but how about going one step further, in honor of Brit Hume...
