Fox News Razzes War Protesters

When anti-American war protesters descended upon Fox News Channel's Manhattan headquarters yesterday, the No. 1 cable news network used its news zipper to fire back.

In red neon letters that crawled across the building from the Avenue of the Americas to 48th Street, the peacenistas were taunted with barbs like:

"War protester auditions here today. . . . Thanks for coming!," "How do you keep a war protester in suspense? Ignore them" and "Attention protesters: The Michael Moore Fan Club meets Thursday at a phone booth at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street."

"I thought I'd have some fun with it," Fox zipper-writer Marvin Himelfarb told the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz. "I couldn't resist."

The only true, American news channel

Just heard the President speak to members of the Coast Guard in Philly. When he was finished, the band struck-up with The Stars and Stripes, Forever.

Fox didn't cut in, they let the march play for a long time, then Shep Smith says "Well, we thought we'd let you hear that for a while."

I LOVE FOXNEWS!

The difference between the phony peace neurotics and normal people is a sense of humor.

Any one else notice that?
Hard to reconcile mindless blinde rage and humor...

Seems like the people working at FOX are allowed to have fun. Can you imagine if this had been an NBC guy? He would not only have been fired but run out on a rail.
