Fox News Reporter Gets Hit While WI Protesters Scream ‘Fox News Lies’

The Wisconsin protesters are getting restless and angrier as the chants of “Fox News lies” grew louder and louder around reporter Mike Tobin. As some of the protesters eagerly tried to block the camera shot, the picture then switched away from Tobin out on the street to inside the Capitol building. Tobin’s voiceover continued as he exclaimed “a guy just hit me.”

Tobin said he has received much heckling, and that a teacher even told him she hates him because it made her feel good. The “utter lack of civility and harassment of reporters,” as anchor Gregg Jarrett described it, is truly breathtaking and seems like a weird strategy to try and win support for one’s cause.

WI Protester Hits FNC's Mike Tobin

These despicable cretins! What's interesting is that Mike Tobin has reported for Fox News for years in the Middle East, and I think may have been one of the FNC reporters embedded with our troops in Iraq at the start of the war. He recently returns to The States, and ends up getting hit by a fellow American in the "war zone" of Wisconsin. Unbelievable...

That’s battery on a Fox reporter. I believe that’s a felony.

I’m sure Chris Matthews will be all over this. /s

Few had sympathy before and as the days go by and hey show how out of contro,l and spoiled they are the support they did have is dropping.Most I hear are saying “go back to work and quit b*tching at least you have a job!”

When the MSM talks about busloads of Union members attending the rallies, I'm sure quite a few are wondering, as am I, "From where are these people coming, and why are THEY not at their own jobs?
