CNN

Barjack, this isn't "spin", this is an outright lie. It didn't say, "Why did these other networks not cover this as much?", it said, "How did these other networks MISS this story?" This case is not a matter of perspective but something objectively provable of being FALSE.

CNN news is fair and balanced? Right. Viewers of CNN like left spin on the curveballs ALL of the mass media throws at the public. According to these blogs, ratings are declining because people can't handle the truth? It's more like we can't get the truth.

FOX is NOT a news organization, it's a distributor of PROPAGANDA. As far as their regular viewers, all I can say is "the Lowest Common Denominator."

Faux has been blacklisted off my tv for over a year now. It's about time CNN woke up to the truth. You should try living in a red state (Oklahoma) where all the local news is biased. I watched one of Obama's speeches before the election and then watched them lie about the content on the local news. I was disgusted. I quit watching local news, especially when they were hiding cases of H1N1. Talk about propaganda.

I am stunned reading these comments. The gathering in DC was all about having less government...getting the government out of our lives. Evidently, the vast majority of posters here want the government to make more of their decisions for them, take more of their money in taxes because obviously the government knows how to spend your money better than you do. How do any of u even call yourselves Americans? Do you even know how or more important why this country was founded? I've heard my friends refer to CNN as liberal, left leaning, the voice of socialism etc. and now after reading all these posts...I fear my friends are correct. You people need to move to Cuba or Venezuela for a year or two to see how great our country could be run under your vision.

I rarely comment on stuff like this because it is such a waste of time, but here are my two cents: I like Fox for some of its content, and I like CNN for some of its content, as well as other networks. OF COURSE THEY ALL HAVE A POLITICAL BIAS. Everything is biased. Including liberal media. It is not news that Fox is leaning to the right. A lot of people criticize Fox for their spin, but while I read through the bias, I do respect that they are one of the only networks to take a conservative view. Its all marketing – in case you haven't realized, we live in a country that RE-ELECTED George W. Bush. Makes sense that someone would cater to that half of the country and make money off of them. If you really hate Fox, then stop complaining about them, because guess what they just got: A free ad on CNN. For a false ad about CNN. Ironic? Come on people.

Boom! Roasted. (Unless a protest is massive, violent, or in some other way totally unique, it's not going to get a ton of coverage. This applies across the political spectrum.) Well-put, CNN!

faux news whines again, what's new? They are building a strawman for the next event faux news orchestrates, every news channel will think they have to cover it 24/7 this is SOP for these folks.
Oh BTW why did faux news not cover President Obama's speech? Had CNN,MSNBC done that to *W* publicans would have raised *ell!

Fox, this is a broken record with you. How dare you accuse the other networks of not reporting breaking stories. This is of great interest to me. I follow CNN because they seem to be more accurate in their reporting of events, they also offer a panel from both sides of the isle.
Let's think back a few months ago when our President, Barack Obama visited Ghana, Africa, what a significant time in American history. The world was witness to how far we've come as a nation. President Barack Obama stood on the shores where many ancestors of now great Americans were taken from their homes and sent to an unknown world. This was a proud moment for all Americans, and the world. Fox News, you didn't cover it live as did all other networks. Please tell me it was more than just an over site.

I will tell you this. Gloves are off. Everyone griping about the TRUTH of this article should be ASHAMED with the lies and mis-information that were being spread around over the last couple months. A strong majority of Glenn Beck followers are is wrinked and wacked out as that guy is.

And I can't wait to hear the blitz from the Fringeright about the Obama's "Media Road Block" this Sunday. Watch for that term being hammered around from that those in a panic.

Does anyone remember that it was Fox News that was still reporting that Michael Jackson had been taken to the hospital and was still alive almost half an hour after every single one of the other networks had already confirmed and reported that he was dead? Way to stay ahead of the curve, FOX.

Fox News lied......so what else is new ??????

Fox network is basically a Republican mouthpiece. And not even al of the Republicans. Only the most right wing neo-facists of that group. The way they report you would think that the world should be run only by rich, middle aged to very old white guys. And those guys would dole out whatever pittance they deemed fit to anyone who was not up to their status.

Im skeptical of any movement in which Glenn Beck is the central figure. The guys way over rated and an intellectual lightweight.

Looks like the drive by media is a little sensitive to being called out for their bias. The “main stream” media absolutely minimizes every story that casts doubts on Obama’s leftist agenda. Fox should have run an ad on how the other media outlets TRIED to miss the ACORN story. LOL

Do people actually consider Fox to be a real news channel? To me it's more like a bunch of grumpy white men stretching the truth and throwing tantrums!

I have to partially agree with Fox on this one. Although I do not watch TV very much I was surprised that the CNN internet news coverage was basically nil or maybe I just missed it. Same can be said for the Acorn story this week which if it was Republican in nature would have been (and rightly so) plastered all over the news (Print, TV, and internet). You don't have to agree with the political leanings of the stories as most folks comment on this are on the liberal side of the fence. I understand that. But please be honest and face the fact that these were major news events that deserved more than what was covered by most networks. What needs to happen is more coverage in general. I don't care if it is Democratic or Republican in nature or what bias a network has. I am able to see through BS on both sides and make up my own opinion. Good or bad- Whatever happened to reporting?

Fox estimated the crowds at the tea bagger rally in the millions; there were actually only a about 10,000-20,000.

Fuzzy math all around!

Q: If Fox is such a great news station, then why didn't they broadcast President Obama's speech to the joint session of Congress on health care reform?

A: Because they knew if their viewers actually listened to the President, they'd figure out for themselves that Fox is lying to them when it tries to tell them Obama and his policies are to be feared and rejected out of hand.

I can't stand to watch Fox news. They are one sided. They don't broadcast the news, they only give their opinions and I think that is very wrong

The reason why Fox does this is because they know there are a lot of scared, uninformed, incurious people out there who will gladly listen to them and have their worst fears confirmed rather than actually take responsibility for thinking for themselves.

That's a mouthful ... long story short: Fox panders to the basest human instincts. They are and always have been a mouthpiece for the Right and the GOP. They actively want our President and our country to fail. Their hypocrisy, arrogance, deceit and self-righteousness are astounding.

How they all sleep at night is beyond me.

The same people who watch fox news are the same people who listen to Rush Limbaugh nuff said
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

These are the same people who outnumber CNN, MSNBC and CNBC combined. There are a LOT of us.

Cheers.

Gosh did we expect more from the fair fox network? Get real they are so biased they can't see straight . The only people listening to fox anymore are the people who believe everything they put out anyway.

This ad holds about as much truth as anything on Fox News.

Typical Fox reporting – inaccurate and inflammatory. They have been in the pocket – via Roger Ailes – since their inception.

They will do anything and everything to stir up people against our President and our nation, including lying and allowing unstable ranters like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly fill their airwaves.

Shame on Fox and anyone who listens to them!

All of our cable news networks suck. None of them are objective and they think 'fair' news is saying "Republican's say 'x' and democrats say 'not x'". News is what people don't want you to know about. Investigative reporting. It's disappearing like newspapers. Everything else is just an infomercial. If you have to watching something, watch "News Hour" on PBS, it's the best of a bad bunch.

1 million + marching on Washington? That's a lot of folks. I don't recall seeing much coverage on CNN. Of course you'd file this article as "Fox News slammed for Ad". CNN is angry they are getting called out. Unfortunately for CNN and others, FN beats the rest of cable news in the ratings even when combined. You missed the story. You missed ACORN's story and you've missed Van Jones. Wise up, pull the "Yes We Can" veil off and go back to journalism. Please!

I used to rely on CNN for news , not any longer .
In our household and most of our friends now watch FOX news , and no , none of us are right wing nor are we Republicans .
They are just doing a better job and if you don't like Hannity don't watch him , we don't .

Seriously....WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO UNBIASED REPORTING?

Fox's motives are pretty easy to spot. They run this ad, hoping the other networks will then spend more time covering such an event the next time it occurs, That way the other networks won't be accused of not covering it. Fox News' moves are all calculated. There are no journalists at Fox. They are a conservative propaganda machine.

One Person just wrote
"while MSNBC has the most blatant gun-control articles?"

This is patently false. MSNBC has had very few articles on gun control and none as hard hitting as the 60 minutes pieces or ABC News pieces. In fact there is only one "documentary" on gun control that has aired on MSNBC and it hasn't aired more than 2 times. We record all the cable networks and have a complete listing of articles from the broadcast and cable articles. You are incorrect.

"Fair and Balanced":

1) Cover only right-wing love stories
2) Add a few lies
3) Point fingers, make-up claims,attack the competitors

What else is new from FauxNews?

As usual, Fox is not concerned with comprehensive truth, just advancing a very conservative agenda and training their conservative "base" to ignore all other media outlets. This ad is just another tactic for portraying all other media outlets as being part of a "mainstream media" that is indifferent to conservatives, or even part of a conspiracy against conservatives. It's not about real even-handed journalism in Fox's world, if you're not helping to advance their conservative agenda you are therefore part of the conspiracy against them.

When it comes to reliable, unbiased reporting, FOX SUX!

What exactly does this have to do with ANYTHING? The current political atmosphere reminds me of high school student-government elections. Annoying, petty and immature.

Maybe so, but most (if not all) of those other news agencies MISSED the defunding of ACORN.

There wasn't a SINGLE WORD about that, or the fact that the US Census disassociated itself with ACORN on CNN whatsoever.

None.

Nada.

Zippo.

I think the POINT remains.

The right propgandists are playing the media for fools again. The next time they stage an event all the other media outlets will be racing to prove that they covered the story whether the story is significant or not. That is the true purpose of the ad.

The other networks may have reported it, but that's all. There was no serious time given to the event. It was a very heavily attended event (around 1.5 million people) that received almost no mention online at CNN. It was quickly relegated to a sideline leader, NOT the top headline like all the victim stories CNN prefers to dwell upon.

Just look at the photograph – lots of people. If it had been an antiwar protest during the Bush presidency, it would have received coverage for days.

Except for Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano, which is outstanding, the remainder of the Fox News lineup is not very fair and balanced. Or concerned about constitutional government.

If I learned something from the last election is that FOX is fair and balanced.

Has anyone checked the ratings?...FOX is way ahead of the pack

I am suprised how just few people can "produce" so many posts spitting at fox and blessing other "news" channels.Well I see so many americans are getting excited to get promised handouts from bo, you are so entilted and have rights to get it all now,just extend a hand and goverment will give it to you just as it was done in soviet union poland czekoslovakia, korea and so on.politics of envy never produced anything good,just look at soviet block or read some history books.they had free healthcare, nationalized banks, industry and farming but ofcourse this is america and nothing like that can happen here,right?wrong just wait and see

Isn't Fox News still claiming that the official estimate of 60,000 to 75,000 people was actually two million? And they were practically a corporate sponsor of the event - constantly reporting on the preparations for it and trying to gin up enthusiasm so people would go. The other news organizations did, in fact, cover it, but in the future I say let Fox cover its OWN company picnic.

I don't know how anyone who claims to know Christ watches Fox News. They are only fooling themselves. They don't know God. How can you know God and spew out so much hatred. IMPOSSIBLE!!!

And people are surprised? Why should Fox News manipulation of what they call "news" be limited to TV? Print media need help anyway.

CNN did put some of the march on Washington on TV, but what I saw, they went at it with an agenda of what they wanted viewers to see. I miss the old CNN that reported the news, educated the public and held our leaders to a high bar. Now, when you watch Wolf, he has a democrat / republic as contributors. Wolf ask if Obama is doing well and the democrat says yes and the republican says no. They are both reading from their own political playbooks.
It is time that the 'mainstream media' to move to the center and stop the love affair with Obama and the hatred of the republicans. Show me a politician that really cares about the people first and not themselves or party, the I will show you a liar.

Methinks the Fox doth prevaricate too much. Maybe having their mangy little tail handed to them by everyone else will restore some sanity? Nah, ain't gonna happen.

Heres what I dont get about all you fox news supporters on this post. You always talk about ratings. But then you also say that all other media has a liberal bias. So by that logic, then isnt fox news behind with the population? Since only right wing loons watch fox? At least democrats and independents have choices. The loons only have fox and boy does fox deliver. They spend all day covering a protest that they helped organize, go figure. Did they cover the 1 million people that protested the war in D.C a few years ago? oh thats right, they were too busy calling "protestors" un-patriotic. Now thats fair and balanced.

who cares about fix news or should i say fox noise

Excuse me CNN but 5 minutes of coverage that claims less than 100,000 people show up is not "coverage". That's just pandering to you bosses in the Democratic National Committee.

Yeah sure they covered. Where on their back pages?

FOX News is such a stinky BS Broadcast Organization that I do not waste my time with them. It is my humble opinion that they started and have continued to contribute to the uncivil tone in much of todays broadcast journalism – if it can be called that.

Wouldn't vote for a retard Republican, even if the retard republican had a gun to my head telling me to vote Retardlican. And, wouldn't watch FOX news for same reasons. The party of the ruling class can KMA..

to be fair, cnn is being pretty literal by its response. "miss the story" doesn't have to mean that it wasn't covered, or even covered enough, but more like not covered as well as it should have been.

i knew when president obama was campaigning he was leading a ground swell movement and that he would be tough to beat. it was clear from the wide-angle shots showing masses of people; a obvious true outpouring of support.

we all know that the production aspects of the news – camera angles, zooming in on a speaker, sound quality, etc. – can be more or less dramatized based on the preference of the producer. what you don't see in cnn's examples of its coverage is any dramatic shots like we've seen from other events. i'm pretty sure cnn's washington dc crew knows where to find the good shots on the mall – they did for president obama – and that they didn't only provides ammunition for the right.

better to cover everyone's events with equal enthusiasm. anyway, by responding so literally cnn hands its devout red meat and disregards a potential teachable moment.

When is enough going to be enough. Fox is criminal.

Here is another reason why FOX News is to be considered "fake news reporting". I would like to think well educated news reporters would try and get the facts correct before going a national television. What a waste of their college education, they could have easily got jobs with STAR or The Enquirer.

Fox is the first all-propaganda station America has experienced. It's interesting to watch Fox as a case-study in how the communist media are run.

For the people that actually don't think that CNN covered this story – you CLEARLY don't watch CNN. I get all of my news from AP (via Yahoo and Google) and CNN. A nd I was SO SICK of hearing about the teaparty that I wanted to QUIT watching the news.

Yes, CNN reported on the teaparties – and have every right to set the record straight with LYING supposed news sources.

There is a GREAT YouTube video of interviews from the teaparty. Everyone should watch the fools who attended the teaparty. Hilarious and quite scary.

i was channel surfing the other day and passed the fox channel just long enough to catch the reruns of the j. wright story. its called propaganda not news!

The real issue here is Fox news promoting itself. They have run a number of stories recently about how they are the only ones covering certain issues. You know that a news organization is starting to go 'tabloid' when they start the self-promotion/marketing stuff.

None of today's news organizations do any real investigative journalism – they simply quote whoever their favorite politician/celebrity-du-jour is and rush to write the next story. It is all about entertainment (and advertising dollars), not informing the public. Too bad the public is so easily swayed (either right or left).

I am a news junkie and check cnn, abc, and fox regulary for updates.

Lately, it does seem that everyone, but fox, is lax in reporting anything that could be considered controversial regarding the obama administration.

Let's face it, socialized health care is the most radical, far reaching, legislation to be brought before the american public in 30 years.

The american pulic deservices a fair and balanced debate. Unfortunately, cnn, abc, and nbc don't even try. Fox may be tilted conservatively but at least they make an attempt..

And what if CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS and ABC did not cover the rally? Why must we pacify or give in to the fringe of the society? The same people who are calling for CIVIL WAR, SECESSION and coming to civil fora with loaded guns. CNN is explaining itself to these people. Is it not this same Fox "Fix" News, that did not cover one of President Obama's speeches to the country, that are now making noise. This rally in D.C was a rally ochestrated by LUNATICS like Glenn Beck and his cohorts in Fox News, as well as Dick Army's organization. Is this where our country is now heading to? This was the same way that the news media was cowering during the days leading to the Iraq war and couldnt stand up to Bush, Cheney and their lying republican Party. WHEN WILL WE LEARN? May God bless the USA!

CNN did cover the story as I watched some of the coverage. However, they did miss the story regarding the protests. The story was the opposition to the spending of both Republicans and Democrats, their lack of regard for the common working person, and the reaction to the extent to which this administration has pushed both spending and government control of everything.

In the following days it just became portrayed as a racist white group protesting a black president. That had to be done to discredit the old media's and liberal lack of reporting on the story that became much bigger than they anticipated. I do watch CNN and Fox to get a balanced view of the news. One is center-right and the other center-left. As for the other networks they can just be written off as far left.

It's soooooo nice to see FOX NEWS whining.

I certainly hope Fox News will recieve more than fire for this lie. They have been going on like this for years. I think they are very much responsible for the lies and rumors that are causing so much hate in America today.

Most of fox news broad casters are promoters of event not giving news. If you listen and watch them they are very sarcastic in their comment and in their presentation.

The only reason FOX's audience is so much bigger is because they feed on the uneducated so they can create their army against our sitting president. Bush lied. Bush caused many of our soldiers, our family members to die ... for his own personal agenda! Bush was in office when our unemployment rate shot up ... when the car companies suffered ... when foreclosures became outrageous. I've never seen so much hatred toward a president who's only doing what he campaigned for – what he was elected to do by the American people. FOX News is simply a bully. Does anyone else think that they're constant attacks on the current administration is bullying? It's only a matter of time before someone attacks a politician and claims that FOX news convinced them that they were the devil.

Boy!! Fox is as honest as Acorn....

Fox news is propagating false information? The real shock will come when they actually report accurate information.

Fox News IS the problem with the media. I never watch them, unless of course I am looking for "entertainment". But I have never actually heard "news" from them.

Its always funny to hear the left complain about Fox when msnbc is just as bad, if not worse.

"How did, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN miss this story?"
Fox's news should add one more NY Times Megazine. My hubby has
subscribed NY Times so I'd checked I couldn't find any Van Jones's radical comments or ACORN-FRAUD-VOTERS.

get off your pity party.....those of us right wing, Christian, pro-lifers, we ain't never gonna change our minds, so you yankees can just keep feeding the masses this junk. Ain't gonna fly! no way, no how. We know how it all turns out......

As a former small-town newspaper reporter, I tried my hardest to cover the news as completely and honestly as I could. But I also got burned out trying so hard. I was mediocre at best.

In a later class on information systems, I learned that news is just information, and information has just enough subjective qualities that you can read bias in the way almost any story is covered – if you really want to see it. Those subjective qualities are determining the balance between making a story complete, with enough information and context that the reader needs to make accurate judgements, while still making it clear and concise, and not confusing the reader.

And finally, I found there are as many conservatives in news coverage as neutral independents and liberals and probably always have been. Reporters are just people who love their job in information-distribution.

Unless the news is about calling those who oppose the current liberal agenda racists, then it isn't aired.
Unless the news is about calling those who risk their lives for the sacred freedoms the liberals are walking into the dirt, then it isn't aired.
Unless the news is about giving free education, free housing, free food, free medical to illegal, law breaking foreigners, then it isn't aired.

Happy to see you guys defending yourselves for once.

Courage in media is rewarded with more viewers! As well as being its own reward.

Good on you, CNN.

It is so sad that the Republican party's only strategy is to create negativity and to erase some of the progress made with race relations in this nation. They are all coming off as idiots and every "bright" idea ends up backfiring, so keep up the good work.

Another note to RICK - that "last story".. didn't cover the story of why the majority of the people were there. It, instead, focused on the "element" of people that were there due to racist intentions. That is NOT covering the story. That's looking for the worst of 10 thousand people. No matter where you are in the country – there are "elements" of the extreme. Blacks that don't like white.. whites that don't like blacks.. gay rights activists that break into churches.. individuals that want to incite violence.. but these are fringe elements. There were not tens of thousands of racists on the steps of Washington.. there were tens of thousands of conservatives that care about where their money is going, that care about the principles of this country and that feel like it is their right to protest and be heard. That story was NOT covered. So that really takes away 2 of your whopping 4 examples. The other 2 – were at 9:30AM and 11:30AM. How many stories did you do when there were gay rights protests???

Just like everything else FOX news does ... lie and make Americans hate each other. FOX news is a joke. They don't report the news, they take the news and twist it and spin it to make everyone angry and confused. They are like the television version of those tabloids you see in the supermarket. I flip it on to get a good chuckle, then put the real news on.

It also goes to show that the conservatives feel that they can outright lie to people and get away with it.

YOU WILL BE CALLED OUT FOR YOUR LIES AND MISTRUTHS!!!

Fox is simply pointing out that the so called :mainstream media" is not doing their job. And why are they not doing their job? Either they are incompetent or they are in bed with Obama and the Democrats. And they wonder why their ratings are in the dumper. Media, start doing your job!

I am so tired of the false reporting by FOX news. A person with any intelligence will check multiple sources before believing anything they report. They should be sued for slander. Grow up Fox News!!!

Wrong, CNN. You didn't provide cover that was fair or equitable. CNN still promotes the illegal alien agenda and the free, socialist agenda, that requires funding from all the tax payers.
Listen up, you cannot sustain this country on tax and spend policies that takes the funding from the working class and gives to those who refuse to work. Review history. It didn't work in Roman times and it didn't work for USSR.

Seriously? Does anyone actually take Fox to be a real news source? I laugh hysterically every time I read their motto "fair and balanced" – anyone, ANYONE with at least one ounce of a brain knows they are not fair and balanced. (Neither is MSNBC either – but they don't try to pretend that they are.)

The ridiculous part of all this: this is a news story that Fox News generated in the first place. Yup, they made it up. Fox News created these tea party protests (along with Dick Armey – the disgraced congressman who helped run this government into the debt for which they are protesting... supposedly). They organized them. Glenn Beck, the 9/12 ringleader, is on Fox News.
They are not reporting the news, they are making it up! And they have the hutzpah to criticize other networks for not indulging them???

I recently began calling FOX News, FEAR News; because all they do is feed on and exploit the fears of their viewers to perserve their unsustainable close-minded, pseudo-patriotic vision of what they think America used to be.

But what's scarier still is that so many of the viewers drink all of the Kool-Aid Fear News dishes out.

In Fear they trust.

1 million + people--1 million +
The media's mentioned may have covered the event but barely. I'm very dissapointed in those stations for not making it a top story. If this was a gay rights group you all would have aired it for days. And they would have had 10+ seperate articles each about it.

Tell the American people the whole truth and wiut trying to sway their thinking. Is the media's really that bias or are they in with the government. Wait till the government tell them exactly what they can report and what they cannot. It's coming..........

The media's have a responsibility to publish everything and keep the people informed wether the government likes it or not.......IF NOT your to blame as much as the government and the people "When they see the light" will not forget who misled them.

Quit being sheep, people, Listen to all the news to get the truth. And make up your own minds instead of letting the media do it for you.

All the whining about FOX Whiners? What am i missing? The name calling is a real "turn on." Good grief!!! Get a grip, people, and calm down.

The networks should file a class action for Libel.

Barjack, the problem is that it's not a 'right spin', it's a readily obvious lie designed to sway the uninformed. The stuff you said is nice but it doesn't apply here.

EVERYONE knows Fox News lies!

Well, it's obvious. Fox News, like it's parent organisation, the Republican Party, only understands lies and distortions as a means of influencing people. Why let truth get in the way of the old 'us versus them' divisive strategies that Karl Rove mastered?

Everyone knows CNN, ABC, CBS and FOX are biased in their own way. (Dan Rather blasting George Bush, then getting fired for it, FOX and the Tea Parties yada yada). Who cares? The networks take themselves far too seriously when in fact they nothing more than a 24-7 comedy blitz of (mis)information. When in doubt, throw it out.

Fox News lies ... and we're surprised??

FOX is pure propaganda and it should be forced to clearly label all its programing as such.

You guys didn't cover it fairly. You picked the 5 most radical people you could find and showed them over and over again in an attempt to make the movement look like a bunch of right wing radicals who have nothing better to do and then on top of that you guys played the race card and insinuated the people there were racists. No CNN this isn't a radical right wing racists movement. That protest was 75,000 real Americans fed up with the policies of Mr. Barack Obama. Nothing more, nothing less.

Who cares,

I'm looking at this and it just shows how bad we all are.
It another news channel, dont like it change it. You have the right wing and the Left wing bashing on each other like monkeys because of what Fox said!!! God only knows how all of you were in High School!!!!

You all need a life, and fast!!!

Jason

gee, why am I not surprised that Fox News would have released such an ad?

Bravo to Rick Sanchez for his blasting of fox "news" for their inaccurate reporting -as usual,

We all know who is #1........Fox ratings are steadily climbing. If you want truth and an occasional mistake, go to Fox. If you like drinking cool-aid and staying drunk on caveman dribble, then bow down and kiss the hand that feeds you get used to your chains.

FOX News Channel is just as guilty as they claim the other networks are. They act like they're "fair & balanced" and that they're above everyone else, but they pick sides too. Republicans complain how bias the other networks are...hello, look at your own network, GOP!

CNN did not cover this story properly, they are now doing some major backtracking to keep you people believing all of their BS! Look at the facts people, don't be told something! If you went back and looked at the news coverage from that day you would see FOX's point. The media is so far to the left they were successful at getting Obama elected and most people don't even know why they voted for him. Educate yourselves and look at the facts. Glenn Beck is standing up for this country. Obama has his crazy people trying to get him and rush off the air. Ask yourselves why!!!!!!!!!

Fixed News: We distort, you comply.

I know CNN reported the Tea Party, cause hearing that so many people can be so easily led, really ruined my day. Fox has brainwashed people! My own mother believes everything they say! It is truly sad that they would take advantage of trusting older folks, who think they are watching a real news show.

That's your coverage? That's it??????

I flipped between Fox and MSNBC on Saturday. MSNBC was covering Obama's speech the whole time. Face it, the NBC network is not going to report anything anti-Obama. PERIOD!!

Did you also notice that they used one of the fake photos of the rally? Or maybe that is one of the photos from the inauguration? LOL!!! Maybe a few slander lawsuits would help them learn to get better acquainted with the truth?

This is one of many reasons I will never watch Fox "News." It's an insult to the news industry to refer to that network as news, and Rupert Murdoch should be ashamed of himself. A couple other points: when Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was leaving his position, there was an official ceremony attended by the President and the incoming Secretary at the Pentagon–CNN was there. I was in the Pentagon at the time and Fox News was also on–they were covering a young girl's desire to be a stripper with her father sitting next to her. And, Fox frequently spins lies by leaving out information. When President Obama was giving a town hall speech live, he said "some people are saying we're gonna have these death panels and pull the plug on Grandma. I'm not for that." Later in the day on Fox News, they conveniently left out "I'm not for that" to pander to their audience of misled sheep. They don't fool me.

People, please... there is no such thing as absolutely unbiased journalism, not even since the days of the town crier. The unfortunate hard truth is that unbiased journalism simply doesn't sell.

Calling out a blatent false add is good, but CNN should not focus on defending it self as others have suggested. It should keep focus on obtaining the facts and reporting the news. If this is the objective, the news will speak for itself.

What Fox doesn't understand is that credibility is earned, not bought. This shows where theirs is.

how about an ad by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS that slams Fox News for inaccurate reporting? Fox News had no problem LYING to viewers about how many people attend the "9/12 Rally". There weren't 2 million people there. Not even 1/10 of that. So turn around is fair play I say.

Perhaps the ad could have all of the Fox (Faux) News broadcasters with Pinocchio noses since not one of them know how to truthfully report the news.

ACORN was NOT a Fox sting. It may have been recorded by non-journalists, but the story was huge, nonetheless, and was nowhere to be found on other MSM networks. Yes, CNN ran the story that evening...it was a headliner for all of about an hour, then you had to search for it. Jon & Kate and Jennifer Anniston were headliners ALL DAY. As were the 6 or so commentaries on Joe Wilson. We know! He yelled, "you lie!" at the President. Wrong? You bet. Do we need 6 different (same) opinions on it in one day? Not really. Especially when the country's largest grass roots community service organization has just been CAUGHT ON VIDEOTAPE attempting to aid and abet human trafficking, prostitution, and federal tax fraud (with public tax dollars, no less). You can't tell me you don't see anything wrong with that. I don't care who you are or who you voted for, you just can't.

The funniest part is is that Fox News has more viewers than all the other networks COMBINED. Of the Top 10 cable news programs all 10 are shown on Fox...they are obviously doing something right.

Could Fox news be sued for this? I can dream, can't I?

Of course Fox would cover the Tea Party - they coordinated it as a big party for all of their screaming, hypocritical, racist viewers.

Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter - big and loud, but they're not speaking for the majority.

all anyone needs to do is check on the ratings..fox news is on top of the list for number of viewers and the most important fact is that they have the highest independent viewer rating...why? Because independents like to know the facts, not biased liberal reporting from CNN, ABC and the rest of them.

A few years back I mostly watched MSNBC. But then noticed that some of the news I wanted to know more about, was not even mentioned there. Thats when I started watching CNN and Fox news. Between the two of you, I seem to get the most accurate information.

CNN still was behind the times on Acorn. When I first heard about the Baltimore tape, I came straight to your website and did not find anything on this. The third day after the news break, I finally found info on your site, but I had to surf around to find it.

For those of you that get your news info on just one channel, or maybe even a few, but all liberal. You are deliberatley blinding/fooling yourself. Noone can make an educated opinion on the current news and events, if you are not willing to research the info using various sources.

I am an independent. And I am not happy with either parties. And I blame both Dems and Repubs for allowing huge amount of funds to go to Acorn.

Fox has been the most accurate on news, followed closely by CNN. The rest of the media, I am not wasting my time on.

Fox news would try lying to God. Hope I am in line behind them on judgement day to see that.

Yeah, those networks mentioned the parade and showed a few pictures, but not nearly to the extent they did for other marches – Million Man March (which was all day coverage), Iraq war protests etc. A better ad would have been about the ACORN videos, FOX reported that a week before the others just mentioned it in passing. All news organizations should cut the commentary and stick to reporting what happens.

Thanks to Fox News we at least get a different spin than the sickingly pro-Obama crap on CNN .. Yeah maybe they tend to lean right but at least we have an alternative to the mainly left leaning media including CNN.

It is very true, CNN may have covered the event but they did it in such a way as to give it no credibility, and hardly any airtime. Fox may be biased but CNN is very biased as well

It cant be news that fox lied. 5 times as many people marched in 05 against the war in DC and if you check the foxnews site it is not even mentioned. "Fair and balanced" is really "fake and biased"

CNN and other networks should run an AD in the Washington Post stating that Fox News made up false claims.
There are bunch of loony's/pinheads who are the followers of Rush/Palin/Hannity/O'Reilly/Glenn Beck/Connie Rhodes etc etc who believe every word in fine prints.

Wake up ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN if you dont to be continuly steamed rolled by Fox rating wise you better end your Obama infatuation and start reporting real news again. History wiil see the tea baggers as grass root partriots who save america from socialism.

Fox Lie? Never! Hahahahahh

Shame on Fox News! As usual their reports and commentaries were extreme and biased. I stopped watching them long time ago.

My god, anyone who watches fox news is a moron. And therefore likely a hardcore, right wing, nut job who shows up at these "tea parties" with Glen Beck.

Anyone who parties with Glen Beck is a loser in the first place.

It is not a story. It is a performance broadcast by the syncophant Fox network. Fox is not patriotic, not intelligent, not responsible, not attractive. Fox News is a cheap, self-promoting piece of garbage.

I am sure that the GOP is just stalling long enough for the 2010 election to then say that the DEM's haven't gotten anything done. Any ideas on this ? Party of NO, lol really growing tired of this

Just to remind everyone here..... FOX News is the only outlet that complained about ACORN and see what happened. Maybe if CNN, ABC, CBS got off their butts they could do better at the news.....

Americans were much nicer, smarter, more inquisitive and basically more sane before Fox News and the advent right- wingnut talk radio. There, I said it.

In all fairness, however, we can point the finger at Bill Clinton for the popularity of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Didn't they get big ratings boosts back during the Lewinsky/Ken Starr days? And like moths to the flame ever since, conservative Americans have grown fat on a diet of half-lies, mostly lies, and complete lies.

There, I said that too.

And the winner is faux news, the networks just gave faux a free ride , and that it's exactly what O'Really wants them to do, and they did it all of them.

Well, I can not believe my eyes! All the half-truths being written about the FOX NEWS NETWORK. Honestly, people, wake up and start THINKING FOR YOURSELVES.

Neither side "deserves" their spin on things. NO SPIN, please.

why is it when Imus,Stern open theri mouth they get hit with fines and suspensions from the FCC. But yet FOX is allowed to spew vile lies. I used to watch Glenn Beck before the election, however since then I have noticed a hard line never seen before and have watched onlty a handful of shows. As a independant I am appauled at what I have seen. I have never seen a sitting president get so much for being in office for such a short time. This scares me when you see guns a rallies, nazi remarks, and posters of a defamed president. I thought the pundits of the DEM's were wrong when they said that the GOP was imploding, but now I think they may just be near the end. We need the leaders of the GOP to stand up and take action for these lies, then mabye I can vote for the GOP again. Where is the real GOP ?

They also said the same thing about Van Jones and ACORN. This is also exactly why there is so much confusion about health care. They are spreading lies and their die hard viewers believe everything they say. When they have opposing people in a segment they constantly interrupt the one they disagree with and let the other one go uninterrupted. Fair and balanced I think not. I started watching FOX more prior to the election because they were being more fair and balanced and CNN was to far not doing so. Luckily CNN has now rectified that and FOX has gone to tabloid journalism. But what do you expect from an owner of so many tabloids.

I only watch CNN, and personally, I got tired of the coverage and thought it was too much!

As for FOX, why is anyone surprised? They are the network of spin, representing the party of spin (GOP).

Fox is no longer a "news" source.

It is a political arm of the Republican Party.

FreedomWorks. SO THAT's who organized all those buses that carried all those people to Washington and gave them all those signs made to look home-made. Now which insurance companies were paying the bill?

Fox news – why aren't you pursuing THAT story?

How could anyone possibly take Fox News seriously? They wouldn't know "Fair and Balanced" if it bit them on the backside.

I Think that the Tea Party is the same as the KKK rallying. Oh, by the way I am a republican..... But we need to stop the hate.....

Well finally Faux News pointed its factless coverage toward CNN and it sure does not feel good to be the brunt of that network's endless stream of lies about everything in the news. The only network that consistently shines a light on their lies is MSNBC and they get attacked for being left wing activists because they do this.

Mainstream media's job is to point out truth and truthlessness. CNN most often leaves out reporting on right wing truthlessness so to seem unbiased, but instead makes it look like that CNN supports some of those right wing agendas. CNN, you just have to learn to call a duck a duck! Then duck.

All the fussing about fox news then tell me why cnn and msnbc and the other three mainstream media are way under in there rating than fox it seems to me that fox has been number one in ratings for awhile now and from last seen cnn is in 25th place and fox is still number one from 7p.m till 9 p.m. so what up with that.

all I can say about that is fox has the last laugh LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched CNN yesterday afternoon for 3 hours and you had a 30 second story on Acorn. Is that how you covered the T party rally? Both stories are big news and should be a big part of your program, but clearly are not. I guess that is why Fox has much higher ratings.

Fox News should be baned from being news outlet. It's sad that our nation can't get real news without all the nonsense and propaganda. As a retired Vet, I'm sick of lies in the News Media, this is not what I proudly served 23 years in our great military for. What happen to the real news of the past. If we as a people should want anything back, it should be news that we can trust and believe in.

Unfortunately the people who watch Fox news never watch or read any other news source so they will never hear or read any of the other network's rebuttals. Fox News knows this and doesn't care what other people think.

Yes, Tea party it is...Tea party all the way to the nut house with FOX. What a bunch of right wing out of touch, racist, lunatics.

Fox propaganda machine promoted the tea party. Next they cleverly accused news media of not covering it. This force networks like CNN and others to cover it more. It is just like the phrase liberal media. That force more right wing coverage.

All I would like know form the Finance Committee is when do get real choice to choose what cable stations I pay for. I want to vote with my dollars.

200 Days of nothing said:
"CNN only showed it real quick because this story was not part of there Liberal agenda."

Well 200, you must be reading CNN quite a bit then. I love how conservatives never can talk about the issue in the discussion. They revert to childish observations and finger point. So since your brought it up, if in "Liberal agenda" you mean "fair and balanced' thinking for this country, we will take that as a compliment. Conservatives should be ashamed of letting the O'Reillys, Limbaughs, and Becks run amok on our airwaves spouting lies and dividing our nation. This goes to the heart of the conservatives problems, they can only distract, finger point, and name call. Faux News and conservatives have to manufacture events like the Teabag Party and then so self righteously say that no one else covered it. Conservatives get online and type away calling Obama a commie, socialist, and a liberal. Rarely do I witness one have a logical, healthy conversation or make a worthwhile posting. Thank you for fitting the usual stereo types 200!

I have a friend in the military who regularly forwards emails from Fox with the subject "Won't see this in the other media."

I immediately forward him the same story from CNN.

Fox News, the next "Great White Hope!" And, "You Lie!" reporting. We scream. We decide.

I laugh at the masses of sheeple that feed on the Goebellelesque
view of the news that Fox puts out. Its not even news. The only reason people watch Fox news is to validate their own beliefs that are spoon fed to them by the talking heads of the corporate/lobbyist few that run the GOP. Think for yourselves. Do your own research. Don't rely on the word of some screaming propagandist for your news,

What?? Fox News lied about something???? Whaaaat??!?!

"Dispatching more than a dozen personnel"? WOW! Come on, give me a break. You guys use that as proof that you took this story seriously?

CNN devoted much more air time, immensely more personnel, and countless production resources describing how "inconsequential" this rally was, and giving airtime to administration mouthpieces who criticized the veracity of the message being demonstrated by the rally.

It's CNN who is being intellectually dishonest here...

I would never expect objective reporting from Fox News, it provides infommericals for the fiscally liberal/socially conservative right wing of the Republican party...at best. So, no surprise in this story.

What I am concerned about is what I see as CNN and other new agencies overcompensation with too many talking heads that speak nonsense in the name of balanced reporting and are rarely called on it.

I am wondering when will the media realize that they do not need to cover all sides to a story, just the objective sides? For instance, when the lunatics start talking no one has to put a microphone in their faces...this is not an Electric Kool-aid Acid Test! And, stop showing those disgusting un-American signs that display disrespect for our President and for all Americans of every color. You can describe them if you think such ignorance is news worthy, but stop showing them over and over again.

I know, I know "it sells air time." But, to me it is the Fauxification of news media, this country's fourth estate that has a fiduciary responsibility to protect us from those that tell untruths!

Look at the loonies come out. We shouldn't have to worry much about people who don't believe in facts, science, or reason. But, there's a lot out there, and they're loud mouths. You can scream through your 15-toothed holes, but we're going to continue moving forward. This country has come too far to go back 100 years on your behalf. The Devil didn't put those bones in the rock, and Fox News doesn't really care about you. They're exploiting you.

Well, FOX isn't really in the business of "truth" these days, so why should this ad be any different? I used to try to watch a balanced amount of FOX, CNN, and MSNBC for a right, center. left kind of overview of things. But at this point, I really can't stomach the bile that they spew on FOX...

CNN is full of crap, when they cover something they agree with, like Obama . He gets a dog, we hear about it every hour , everyday for a week. Obama killed a fly and we heard about that for day's.I used too like Cnn, and watched it all the time, once they started supporting Obama, CNN became sickening, I never watch Cnn anymore, and any channel that shows Obama , even Fox I turn the channel until Obama is gone. CNN cover him so much they are making people sick of seeing him........good job CNN.

Way to go CNN, Thanks

Fox "News" lost credibility – and respect – a long time ago, especially from legitimate journalists. This ad is a new low, even for them. Was this an in-house ad and who signed off on it? I think this would fall in the category of 'grounds for termination.'

Sure they covered the Tea Party going out of their way to find the extreme right wing protesters. Why didn't they interview other protesters that were just average americans, democrats republicans, independents, who had actually read the health care bill and have legitimate concerns. I haven't seen hardly any coverage of Acorn either. You can hate Fox News all you want but they are the most watched cable station in the country. That many americans can't all be wrong, they want news all the news not just what the others chose to report. Perhaps CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, actually try reporting the news instead of picking and choosing stories that make the administration look good!

Faux News is good at pandering. Sometimes I watch Foxy News, but usually have to switch it off. There is way too much opinion on "news" these days without investigative reporting, probably because opinions are cheap, while good investigative reporting is expensive. Though I suppose a shallow, uninformed electorate has it's own costs eventually.

Its funny to see people spell Fox news " FAUX news" or refer to it as "Fixed" which are two terms coined and promoted by the ultra-left, promote anything obama at all costs, MSNBC.

We all have our biases and are inclined to listen to the news agency that spins the news the way we like to hear it spun.

I challenge MSNBC watchers to watch an entire Glenn Beck show and I challenge all Beckers to watch Olberman (he could use the bump in ratings).

CNN, like MSNBC, and the unholy threesome... did NOT cover the 9/12 Tea Parties with any more sincerity than you would have covered any UFO sighting, or report of the Loch Ness Monster... I have been a daily viewer of your programs for the past 25 years... so do not pretend to be injured by FOX's presentation... none of you are in any position, considering the Tea Parties, support Nancy Pelosi, abusing Palin, mis-representing the Dem HR3200, as well as ignoring the ACORN reports - until it was too late to hide your head in the sand... and, still ignoring the number of questionable Czars in the Administration...

Hey, if Fox wants to be the mouthpiece of the fear-driven, stampeding cattle extreme of the Republican party, that's fine, but I do draw the line at truth in advertising (or lack thereof).

Fox news tries to incite hatred and bigotry.....they say they are fair and balanced.....my a.s.s. they sre so rightwing that they will dwell and make up lies about Obama.....It tuely amazes me that there are those that believe and listen to the lies that they spew....

Fox News doesn't need to sell, I mean tell the truth. Their audience is stupid enough - and has proven themselves as such time and time again (look at Glenn Beck's ratings) - to believe everything they say or spin.

Whatever happened to the good old days when TV journalist reported the facts and not their opinions?

Unfortunately, as long as there is television, there will be corruption and the misleading of those who are easily mislead into taking action for the benefit of a selfish few.

'Sense' is no longer 'common'....unfortunately

Well, its nice to see the media set the record straight to defend its own hide. Now how about setting the record straight on other right-wing falsehoods being perpetrated?

Maybe they mean the "faux" pictures of the march that were taken five years ago? How could CNN have miss that huge retroactive crowd???

hello?????the only reason I even HEARD about the tea parties was because it was on the CNN live internet video. I have no friends..conservative that is(smile) and I don't leave the house..so I wouldn't have known about it....try again fox news.

CNN, don't let Fox news win by over-reacting to this.

Covering more "tea party" garbage and taking it more seriously in the future would be playing right into their hands.

FOX knows that other networks were covering the story. This is just a way to bring more attention to themselves.

Faux News is manufactured for those who dont live in reality.

They did miss the story that it is not about radicals, it's not about racism, its not about hatred, it is simply a matter of frustration that the Leftist and the Obama Administration is taking the country too far to the left and the protesters have a message..."that the reckless spending socialism will stop." Wake up everyone.

I did not see a whole lot of coverage of the protests in DC by the other networks. The coverage they did provide served to down play and trivialize the protests.

As for Fox News not showing OB speeches... Lol there is more than enough coverage of his enlightening speeches.

How about the hypocrites in MA trying to change the very same law they changed in 2004 for pure political reasons. Gotta love it.

The day CNN provides unbiased and objective reporting will be the same day a protestant becomes the pope.

Dear Barjack, an actual Independant.,

I agree with everything you said. All organizations have some slant and I think it's best to read and hear points of view from all sides however, MSNBC, CNN and ABC did not run a newspaper ad accusing Fox of ignoring or over-reporting something near and dear to MSNBC, CNN or ABC's heart. I find FOX and MSNBC so self righteous that they are both hard to watch.

FOX News (thats a laugh) is accusing all the other news broadasters of not covering the event in DC last weekend. That this is demonstrably false reveals the lack of journalism practiced at FOX.

In fact, FOX is to the RNC what Goebels was to HItler.

Facts don't matter to the radical right wing so why should facts matter to a radical right wing tv net work?

It is true that the Liberal media focused on the few radicals that don't represent the majority of the protesters. Don't try to cover your bias. It is plain to see.

I'm sorry CNN, but FOX is getting the job done. They investigate (ACORN, Czars, Cap and Trade)..They aren't afraid to challenge the president and report on the stories. I love CNN but starting to think that FOX news is the only aggressive, investigative news media left. Everyone else is soooo pro Obama biased that they are almost not worth watching. The news agencies didn't "miss" the tea party movement, they down played it!!!! The mainstream media doesn't care about the truth they care about their agenda. Watch FOX and learn something.

President Obama is doing 5 interviews this weekend, we'll see if any of the media interviewers ask the tough questions or really challenge him.

fox news..YOU LIE...As a Canadian Citizen I watch CNN because they always have representatives from both sides of a story!! They educate the viewer! The viewer can then make an informed decision!! . Shame on you FOX news!!
Thank goodness 70% of the citizens of the US are brighter than you!!

Where was the Fools On Xcstasy channel when CNN covered the first Gulf War. They weren't there on the ground during Katrina, but Anderson Cooper and CNN were 24/7 even helping rescue victims. Other mainstream media news organizations send their reporters to dangerous assignments at great risk and were seriously injuried,imprisoned or died working to gives a fair and balanced view of global events, but never see any of the far right mouthpieces even get their hair mussed up. Point is, that it takes real integrity and courage to in order to deliver the dail news in our living rooms. Thank You Mainstream Media you were their first and FOX is dead last when comes to honesty and integrity you're right there with ACORN.

I do not know what the big stink is all about. Anyone with a lick of sense knows that the news medias are just like our congressmen, they tell stories the way their listeners want to here it. The only difference between newspeople and congressmen is that most congressmen get paid more and get money under the table.

We need government control of the media just like we need government control of health care. And yes, I am a Communist, so shut up

Between 60,000 to 70,000 protesters showed up for an 'event' Fox had been pushing for months – Conservatives claimed there were '1 to 2 Million' and even posted pictures – which turned out to be 10 years old of a REAL crowd in Washington instead of the pathetic wingnuts, racists and wackjobs most of whom couldn't spell 'illiterate'.

It's one thing to have right or left leaning perspectives. It's another thing for a news organization to issue bold faced lies. Republicans used to know the difference between right and wrong, but now they believe wrong is right. Very sad!

anyone believe in FOX's ratings "might" and clout should consider that their many of their viewers or radio listeners are not too savvy with modern media outlets, like say, the internet? Nor do most read newspapers or even understand our history. Maybe FOX's fans should take a course in critical thinking and the media so they might get to hopefully reevaluate the way they are just being herded like cattle towards hate and blame.

What ever happened to praying for our leaders? Was this what the tea pots were doing?

I love how Fox News prints a blatantly false story, and everyone rushes to their defense. What is there to defend? It was a blatant lie in black and white! There is no defense for it! It's one thing to get some wrong information and print it prematurely and finding out later that you were wrong.. like with the whole "Obama was raised in a Madrasa" embarrassment... but this was a premeditated outright lie. There is no defense.

And for those citing Fox's ratings.. of course they're gonna be higher. When you have 5 major news channels broadcasting either balanced or left leaning news and you only have 1 that broadcasts right... then all the people who want the right wing news will go to 1 network instead of the 5 that have to split the rest of the audience. It's mathematical logic.. something people have a hard time grasping.

All the major news channels covered this event. ALL. But then again most 2 yr olds have a higher IQ that the collective representives @ Fox.
Oh, and drop the Czar thing – this is not new. Regan, Bush 1, Bush 2 had them and all of them the the nut job Glenn Beck mentioned on his show were APPOINTED BY BUSH 2! The Czar title was created by the news media to avoid using their exact titles which are long and cumbersome to both announce and print.

The tea party in Washington was a bust, ..only 70,000 showed up, after all the hoopla leading up to it, it quickly faded from the headlines,like it never took place. My theory is,..this is a calculated and deliberate ploy by Fox, to keep the story going and recapturing some of the momentum,.. and CNN took the bait.

The biggest problem I have with Fox News is that they are a foreign owned media company. Fox News, and now sadly, The Wall Street Journal are both owned by Rupert Murdoch, an Australian who owns News Corp. They exert far too much influence in American politics and they are becoming a dangerous organization. Our country needs to reexamine our media ownership laws and outlaw foreign ownership of major American media organizations.

Seek and report the truth.
Do not spin a story to fit an agenda.
Do not taint a story by under reporting.
Be a journalist not a pawn.
Do these things and you can change history.
Do not follow these rules and be a disgrace to a noble profession.

Will the FCC ever act to prohibit Fox from claiming that it is a "news" network? I thought there was something called truth in advertising laws.

Fox ought to occupy the same space as the Shopping Channel. And news networks really do not need to cover "both sides of the story" when one side discusses healthcare and the other discusses the birth place of the President or death panels. If one person says that 1+1=2, and someone else says 1+1=5, you don't argue both sides. The lack of courage in the news media to take on flagrant liars at Fox is the reason that the extreme right feel they are empowered, since no one dares to call them out for what they really are–liars.

It's not pleasant when someone makes up lies about you,.. so now CNN, you know what Obama has to deal with everyday. Let this be a lesson to you, when you bring on all those lying right wingers to spew lies on air,.. call them out.

If you are a reporter I ask you to look at the person in your mirror and ask your self. Is that person honoring their sacred duty to report truth or arethey promoting an ideaology or some ones agenda. Under reporting a truth is the same as telling a lie. Media it is your job to be a strong and independent source of real information. Your job is to protect the average person with the truth. Start doing your job even if it does not fit your personal desires. Truth is more important than self.

CNN is accused of bias by both ends of the spectrum. Therefore they are in the middle. Therefore, I trust CNN more than other media outlets.

These right wing, Fox News partisans are so preposterously biased that they think they're seeing the truth in things when all they are seeing is their own prejudices projected outward and reflected back at that them. They live in a house of mirrors but have no idea that they do. Or put it another way, it is as if they wearing distorting lenses and mistake the distortions for the way things are. It is the very definition of ignorance.

Why does this surprise me so much? We've all known for a long long time that most of the commentators–talking heads–on Fox are blatant liars and manipulators of the truth to serve their own purposes. Why should their advertising be any different? I won't watch Fox News for ANY amount of money.

Oh, from CNN perspective, fair to assume that everyone present at the rally was a racist, right?

The networks may have covered the rally but as usual they have downplayed and under emphasized it to suit their agenda. They are currently trying their best to ignore Acorn many transgressions. A Republican Governor has an affair and it is the lead story. The President of our country has close ties to a obviously corrupt organization and it hardly makes a blip in the network coverage. Please people in media honor the great legacy of your profession and start doing your jobs as independent seekers of truth. You are a disgrace to your profession every time you spin and under report the facts.

Good job CNN for standing up to Fox. After-all your station is number one in honest and balance news reporting, except for Lou Dobbs.
Fox is upset because your station reported the truth, and pictures do not lie. Fox is also upset because the Tea Party did not have the impact that they had hoped . They only had 60,000-75,000 people in attendance. This is a drop in the bucket when people are coming from all of the states..

Beware CNN, they are just trying to set you up so you will over-expose their activities in the future!

During the election a Florida reporter asked Obama a honest question he did not want to answer. So Obama's propaganda machine blackballed the news organization that the reporter worked for and excluded them the rest of the election cycle. The rest of the mainstream media abandoned their colleague and bowed at Obama's feet. Until the media remembers that their industry was once a noble profession; they will continue to be just tools to Obama's ambitions.

I agree with Barjack, an actual Independant...as I vote on the candidate myself...NOT the party.

Each network has it's own spin whether you like it or not. "Oh...woe is me the poor MSNBC viewer who can't believe what Fox is/isn't reporting. Oh...woe is me the poor Fox viewer who can't believe what MSNBC is/isn't reporting."

It's sad that we can't look into Jeffersonian principles when it comes to both journalism and politics. Both sides of the issue need to be educated and take their blinders off.

This is exactly why I watch CNN and MSNBC. They might be slightly left, but well more balanced than FOX anyday. Pathetic.

Oh to clarify, what the right wingers mean by "elitist" is possessing a level of continued education beyond high school or community college and the ability to use rational thought. I will take being an elitist over being willfully ignorant and closed minded any day.

Who cares!!! This was never really news anyway, these are only media events. Was there any earth shattering information that was uncovered in this event? I would guess not, the news media needs to be covering real events of consequence.

It's because Americans are intolerant to these racists. Look what not paying them any attention did. They are fools with a dangerous message, a message that does not belong in this country, a message of hate.

Fox is just trying to grab headlines– and it worked!

They're the Kanye of News!

Why are people on this forum so surprised by this ad story? Most of the news channels try to pay it down by claiming that there were so few people. Hey, it is not the first time and wouldn't be the last time.

I am sorry to say that this country is going down at a very fast pace. When media is playing a partisan role then where do you turn to for fair news reporting. Although, I agree that Fox has been way too right wing news reporter but when all other channels including CNN are way too biased leaning on the left then somebody got to do the balancing act.

If we need to see this country going up, then a fair reporting is a MUST from media otherwise only hope is GOD.

Everyone I have talked to about this event are absolutely disgusted!!!!!! CNN, your news is accurate and you have earned our respect in your reporting. Keep up the good work and please know Walter Cronkite is smiling with approval.

The Faux News masses are just trying to make an issue out of coverage because the other news networks didnt feel the need to devote 100% coverage to the event? Why you might ask? Well probably because Fox News was the only one that was sponsoring it.

Why do we even care about Fixed, I mean Fox News?

It is all about "Truth". Everyone knows CNN and most other news sources are aligned with Obama. Anything that may be perceived "opposing" liberal left or Obama's agenda is most often watered down.

Take the Van Jones story for example; None of the liberal broadcasters mentioned Jones allegiance to Communism and the radical statements he made claiming whites poisoned Blacks and immigrant laborers. They failed to mention Jones was hand picked by a close Obama aid.

How about Mark Lloyd, Obama's FCC Diversity Czar? When are the liberal news organizations going to tell his story? No, they will wait for FOX then jump in once he is fully exposed as another Obama radical.

Never in my 65 years have I witnessed a President that has staffed his administration with Communists, Marxists, radicals and home grown terrorists such as Jeff Jones and Bill Ayers. What am I suppose to think of this President?

CNN definitly is obsessed with righting it with the black folk. I read both CNN and Fox, and Fox reports wayyyy more news. I don't think oneem really lies anymore than the other. Fox is more conservative(God forbid) is that a dirty word on this site? and CNN is far left, simple as that. What people don't understand is the difference between the two sides, it is the conservatives think everyone can think for themselves, or should, and don't need the government to bail them out of their problems and the left thinks that the government is smarter than them so they love the hand outs and government programs. thats it plain and simple.

And why do I care what Fox News has to say?

what was that saying..."last ember of the dying fire burns the brightest"?

OBAMA-BIDEN 2012. Enough of the Repub BS. Vote straight Dem ticket. When those clowns lose more seats they will be mush easier to work with. Repubs dont love America, only money.

WHy does Fox care what other networks do? They claim they are the most popluar network on cable but call everyone else the main stream media. Then they criticize the main stream media for not being like them. MAYBE THE OTHER NETWORKS JUST DON"T HAVE SUCH A RADICAL AGENDA!!

Has there been a single conservative here responding to the point of the story? That the ad lied? Does it not matter if the ad lied if it supports the conservative agenda? (Has lying ever mattered to the average conservative on the street? Not in my experience.)

Fixed, I mean, Fox News is ridiculous.

Fox – Home Of The Republican Party
Republican Party – A party of old white men.

Tea Parties – Hey Republicans, we (Democrats) won. You lost. Get over it.

The Conservatives have finally become what they've decried for years: self absorbed VICTIMS !

Just call Fox what it is – a "liar" – no fancy words like "misrepresent" – they flat out lied.

Fox News - aka Bush/Cheney/Limpbaugh Bastion of Lies - is a misnomer from the get-go.

Fox is not news; at least not in the journalistic vein I learned in college and have practiced 30 years in the workplace. Fox News is nothing more than a GOP mouthpiece that attempts to enjoy the liberties of the working press to further the diabolical, irreverent, inaccuracies, distortions, and blatant fearmongering that the GOP has become over the past several years.

I won't even watch programming on Fox because of their smear department. Really, if all of us would just stop talking about Fox - maybe the network would go away!! Only the Bushies and other morons would miss any part of the network.

The news aspect is not true, was never true, and will never be true until somebody cleans house at Fox and gets "qualified" journalists instead of GOP mouths and talking heads.

you guys are full of yourselves, and deluded in your belief that you report news as it happens. as i watch all channels from 'up north' your coverage of conservative issues is either 'spun' or not covered. it is what it is, and i call it as i see it. you should all be ashamed.

Fox News lie, they just scare me!!

This should highlite the danger of corporations owning so many different media outlets.

Like I said before, who gives a crap about Fox news. They don't even have an HD feed. Their legitimacy has been setback 30 yrs by not having an HD channel.

This is the just say "no" channel. I wonder if maybe there is a little racism going on at this lilly white channel.

Why is anyone with a clear mine even talking about lying Fox News. They can look you in the eye and tell you your name isn't 'whatever' it may be and lie and tell you your name is 'so an so' and will run a story on it as if it's the truth and stand by it, even when you have prove, it doesn't matter to them b/c that's what they do over there. So please everyone, we all no Fox News is nothing more than a right wing conservative base station. Their slogan should say, LIES, FEARS, RACISM and SMEAR, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly, this is a new low, even for Fox News but, considering the source, is anyone REALLY 'surprised'?!? Fox has simply moved from 'stretching the truth beyond recognition' to unabashed lies.

CNN will make a major headline about Michelle's clothes but not a cover story for such rallies......Shame on you....

The fact that you are trying to downplay fox is an act of desperation

Who wants to cover a bunch of ignorant conservative dead beats that lie on command.

Barjack, I disagree. To be called news when does it need a spin? JUST TELL THE FREAKING TRUTH! I don't need you to promote an idea (right or left). I just want the bare facts so I can make an informed choice.

Fox being misleading? The only thing misleading about Fox News, is callig itself "News"

Fox is a blatant TOOL for the GOP and it's neocon con artists. Nothing more than faux-tainment. Not as relaiable as the enquirer or any other supermarket rag-loid.

Fox is getting desperate.
FAct is, no one really cares about 'Tea Parties'...YAAAWWNNNN

The Birhers have been shut down
The GOP is losing the health care debate
Conservative lies are further shrinking their party.
They know if they lose the Health CAre fight, they will have been routed by Obama.

The GOP is failing and they are almost toast....pass the popcoprn

I bet CNN is giddy with glee at their chance to " fact-check" this story. i've been watching CNN and the coverage, was only minimal, and always with a tone of ire - CNN is the most biased "news" [propaganda] machine out there..

Funny I spent the day in my office switching back and forth to CNN & Fox, I was curious to see from what angle each would report. Sorry CNN you may have had your crews there as you they so reported today, but to actualy have footage on the screen- seemed a little absent to me. But I sure did hear allot about racism. Good luck with the ratings game obviously your losing more at least not as bad as MSNBC. Maybe just giving the news will bring me back.

Surprise, surprise. Fox News is "making" news, not reporting it. You see, CNN, this is why Carville's opinions aren't "news." Interesting, but a news organization is responsible for reporting not making.

Don't stoop to Fox's level. Everyone, other than some right wing crazed people, know that Fox is a joke. They may get the "ratings" but it's because they're entertainment....not news.

This is a ploy by Fox News to keep the story alive. They want free publicity. They know their advertisement was a lie.

Good point Rick Sanchez. News is suppose to cover the facts. Not promote propaganda....

Fox news is like the guy accusing another of being defensive. The other guy replies, "no, I'm not!", to which Fox replies, "See, You were just being defensive right there!". They are slimy to the core. G. Beck is worrying himself into the tens of millions. Heck, for that kind of money, I might consider starting a fear-mongering tv show too!

Why would Fox be upset about not enough coverage??? Oh yeah, they ORGANIZED the thing! Just check on Beck!

Not Reality TV, Not ACTUALITY TV
Fox "News" TV

can there just be a daily cnn segment devoted to pointing out ludicrous claims made by FOX news and their anchors? I watched Glenn Beck this evening...mistake number one, and not thirty seconds into the program I heard: "communist marxist revolutionaries"...needless to say I quickly turned off the program and got on with my life. But I do worry about the thousands of those who take in this kind of filth and believe it to be factual news.

Why should anyone report on an event that was, for the most part, invented by, promoted by, attended by, and wanted by Fox news and their supporters. I cannot imagine how any intelligent, reasonable individual could possibly put any value in the Fox network. The far right, represented by Faux news, is so frightened that the white male will lose his dominance in our nation that they are grasping at any straw, no matter how ridiculous. Face it people – your reign is over!!

fox news is tastless with no shame

Those networks MUST have missed the event, given that Fox claims 2 million people marched on Washington. The event that every other network covered, according to the Park Police, had about 60k people. The last time 2 million actual people marched on Washington, it was Barack Obama's inauguration, and it was evident that the numbers were real. My question is this–why are there no overhead shots of the Washington Mall during this march? Actually, I already know the answer to that as well.

What is wrong with some of the people in the U.S? Don't they realize that they are making that country the laughing stock of the world? I, for one, am not surprised at the lies Fox News tells....many people who know better expect that of them. What gets me are the people who send in their comments, telling lies. For instance, there are those who say CNN is not covering the Acorn mess. I must be blind and deaf in some weird way, but I have been hearing about it on CNN. It's like those who keep repeating that President Obama is a liar, but none of them will say what lies he has told or what he is lying about. These kind of people just show their ignorance as they refuse to believe in facts and will only believe the lies because that is what they want to hear. I feel sorry for the U.S. as these kinds of people will only bring the country down. Many of them profess to be Christians, but they don't know the first thing of what Christianity is all about. God help the U.S.

Fox news is the podium for Republican part. Fox news does not have the integrity, the decency and honesty to provide any news fairly and accurately with the journalistic values.
Fox news represents the all that is false, all that is not true and it is void of any integrity.
The Showmen & women of the Fox news are not journalists; they are more of a paid prostitute in service of Republican Party.
Fox news is inciting hatred and promoting violence against the President of the united states and while I believe in freedom of speech , there has to be some law that prevents
An organization such as Fox news to promote violent overthrow of the Government.
Any decent American can see the hatred promoted by Fox news and it’s paid prostitutes and must boycott such house of ill repute.

Fox news should be shut down by Mr, Murdoch once and forever. They are nothing but radical rabble rousers bent on total destruction.

Anybody that watches Fox news and believes the b.s. aired by people like the entertainer Glenn Beck (he is not a newscaster, he is an entertainer worth millions) is little more than a moron and do not have the foggiest idea of what is truth. Specially the dimwit that calls himself Jarhead.

Fox manages to keep this stupid story in the news, even while lying. Anyway, this whole 9/12 stuff is so stupid. What does it even mean? What's their point? General unhappiness? You raised my taxes, even though you didn't? You're spending money on things that will help us, so we protest?

When did people get stupid?

Would you expect any different from the righty network?

Red by choice-Clearly your used to watching Fox news because you expect lies and hate which is the only thing Fox shows.Thank God Fox has such a small audience(of nuts!)

I watch all three cable news networks. It's clear which way each leans. I think of three, CNN (although there's a bit of a liberal slant) is closest to neutral.

I listen to what's said on these channels and then research the issues to learn more. Because networks are not completely neutral anymore, we have to take responsibility ourselves for digging deeper to learn the truth.

I can't stand Beck or Olbermann. They're both obnoxious. But they also both raise legitimate points at times. We just have to take it all with a grain of salt and take the extra time to learn the real truth if we're interested in an issue.

It used to be that I trusted CNN completely to give unbiased, fair reports...but these days, I don't trust any network to give us the straight dope. If I'm interested in something, I'll read all the articles I can find about the subject and form my own opinion.

I think it's good to watch all three cable news outlets and then dig deeper. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle of what's reported. I still believe CNN is the least biased of all three, but I don't know of any totally neutral news reporting service anymore. Any suggestions?

Wow.....go Rick Sanchez!

The only thing good that comes out of the fox networks is american idol.

You want to know why Fox ratings are so high? Simple. People hate news, but love to be entertained. Fox should honestly be treated no more than a side show parading as a news outlet. Journalism? You have Glenn Beck who admitted he is not a journalist, but a commentator. You have Bill O'reilly who is a commentator at the best of times. You have new stories such as the "terriorist fist pound" (come on you nuts on the right have to shake your head at that one) or my favorite the Mass Effect sex debacle where the "reported" accused a video game of being pornographic without even seeing it. I have no problem with Fox "news" being a right wing advocate. My problem, as well as the rest of free thinking America, is when you call them actual New or say their "Fair and Balanced" (you guys even admitted their right leaning).

Fox News lied?
I'll have to go take a valium. I can't believe it. The world must be ending. Has Pat Robertson been notified? What does Rush say? Newt will be devastated. A lie on a Conservative network.

Why would you expect Faux News to start being careful, critical and forthright now? If they would only remove "news" from the name it wouldn't be nearly so hypocritical.

Fox News: "You LIE!!!"

People watch fox news for the same reason they read the National Enquirer. Fox entertains stupid people by telling lies just like the National Enqurier does. Fools eat it up (and we have a lot of fools in this country which explains the ratings).

FOX News – what a joke to call them a news channel. Dick Cheney demanded that the station was on in every room wherever he stayed. It never is "fair and balanced". It is the most biased channel on TV. Perhaps they should have Limbaugh as one of their commentators. Both have the same type of right wing drivel. And the problem is, although I watch them sometimes and decide whether they are telling the truth, and then watch others like CNN, too many right wing radicals only watch them and take their commentaries and pseudo-news as gospel. Boy, has this country gone downhill in TV media truthfulness in the last 20-30 years! There is no more middle or moderate ground...

What else is new, faux news has been making stuff up for years.

Fox news will do whatever is necessary to have people watch their right leaning news. So they prey on the ignorant to make them believe there is some kind of conspiracy with other news channels and that these OTHER news channels don't report the news as it really is. Therefore the ignorant believe. Sound familiar? The Bush administration has transfered all offices to Fox News.

I visit CNN's site every day. I saw about one story regarding the Tea party rally. I mean seriously, there is a difference between covering it and truly reporting on the story it actually is. I know reporting on Kanye West and Jim Carter's racist remarks is MUCH more important.

People who watch Fox New STILL believe Saddam Hussein and Al Quaeda attacked America on 9/11. They are the ONLY idiots who believe that. It has been disproven over and over again by legitimate news sources. I heard Mr. Sanzhez's comments today and I agree totally with him. Fox is just plain slimy. Let's face it, anybody who calls themselves "fair and balanced" is probably not. If you were, you wouldn't have to say it all the time.

My kids where standing next to a CNN truck and now they changed their view of \who the liar is. I tried telling them that fox news isnt faux news,but fox just blew that.

ill have to say ...
fox news does support and promote those tea parties
every time i flick pass fox news its always something against President Obama or the democrats
and or rallying with those protesting in washington.

as a person who lives in new zealand
fox news are so not!!! fair and balanced

well done CNN!

What did you expect from Fox? Fox never let the lack of facts stop it from reporting a juicy story. Fox is the National Enquirer of television news. What is sad is some people actually believe the stuff Fox puts out. Fox should admit it is a right wing propaganda organization and not a news outlet.

Everytime I go somewhere where Fox is on I almost throw up. There channel should be banned from the air. I dont know about anyone else but im looking for news not opinions...

Yes, but CNN, et al, covered the event honestly, without fawning over the speakers. Fox News and their viewers don't consider that fair and balanced news coverage.

All of you are playing into Fox's hands. They want all channels to talk more and more about the protests. Nothings else. They are just a bunch of jokers!

Too many of you Fox viewers are missing the point. This is an instance where Fox blatantly lied to give comfort to their viewers. If you really care about anything other than being told what you want to hear, you should be asking yourselves what else they've lied to you about.

Wow, so Inbred Jed and, like, four of his tea-bagging friends had 'theirselves' a redneck hootenanny last weekend? Umm, is that news to ANYBODY? Too bad it was news to CNN. (But then again, CNN thinks John and Kate are news, whoever they are.) It sure would have been nice if CNN had grown a pair and ignored it. Let Fox be the boosters of ignorance, racism, and religious zealotry.

Why is anyone surprised? This is what Fox news does, LIES!!!. I was a fox news watcher for a while until I started hearing things I knew to be lies and half truths and the tone of hate and rhetoric against certain people I could no longer bring myself to even tune back to fox ever again. When ever I see a TV in work with it on I change the channel regardless of whos watching and believe me they really don't mind.

Come to find out most, if not all Fox news watchers are incapable of thinking for themselves and require someone or some thing to think for them. Talk about blatant bias in the news.

Nuance. Fox didn't say the MSM never reported the story. They said the MSM missed the story. 200,000 people show up and the MSM gives it 30 seconds. Cindy Sheehan shows up and kisses Chavez and it gets 5 days of non-stop coverage about how courageous she is.

It is really strange. On the day of the march coverage was minimal at least from what I saw. I had to go to Fox to see what was happening. I am beginning to think that CNN is very one sided on how they present the news. We try to be fair minded by going to the other news channels to find our own fair and balanced news and one has to go to Fox to get the whole story. It is beginning to worry me.

I AM SICK OF FOX NEWS! Bill O'Reilly made a similar claim awhile back about another story that CNN supposedly "didn't cover enough", which was disproven. O'Reilly later retracted.

Ever hear O'Reilly spew statistics about how Fox News blows every other news agency out of the water.

Plain and simple liars trying to manipulated ignorant people.

Poor, poor Fox news and all it's truly intelligent listeners. They are no longer the power brokers when Bush was our president and stacked news conferences and planted reporters to spin the admins "Agenda". Now all these losers are just trying to spilt this country donw the middle and flat out lie about anybody other than "FOX" being a true "fair and balanced" news organization. They now have crossed the line and the rest of the media is going to tear their house down. Won't be long before we see major sponsors pulling their plugs on Fox News like they have done with Mr. Beck. Sorry to say it, but we are seeing the beginning of the end to Fox News as it is today. I won't shed a tear.........

JERRY VILLINES September 18th, 2009 5:01 pm ET

"Fair and accurate" reporting. NOT. It just proves a point that if you say something over and over again the uneducated and far right will believe it. Keep up the good work CNN.

This is funny Jerry, hehehe Hope and Change...Yes we CAN!!!

hehehe...keep up the good work Obama

All the stations, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc. COVERED the event/story on the day it happened like they should have.

But FoxNews PROMOTED the event and they should NOT have.

FOX news accusing other medias of being one sided ??? This is the same FOX news who use to fabricate and mislead about Clinton and now Obama adminstration!

So Fox News lied. Is that news? Ever since all other networks capitulated to Fox News version that Bush won against Gore, they believed that they can do anything. What a different world this would be had they not. There is a lesson here somewhere.

Why am I not surprised Faux News is continuning it tradition of reporting out and out lies.

I wonder if Fox News will cover this news story of how they got it wrong?

Fox News was responsible for providing the cover that allowed Jeb Bush to steal Florida for his brother. They make the defunct Russian propaganda paper Pravda look saintly. That photo of the crowd looks suspicious too. It should be illegal to lie constantly and call it news.

Sounds like Fox news planned the entire event. Just proves how biased they are.

Where is the NEWS in FOX? FOX := GOP * EXTREME;

Fox News tells LIES. They do NOT tell it like it is at all. They need to be taken off the air since all they promote is division and hatred in this country which is the last thing we need. Can they be sued for all the lies they tell? Maybe if they are hit in the pocket book the lies will stop and they will report real news and not BS.

About time. I will resume reading CNN again.

Fox news is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.
It is sad to see so many people actually buy the Fox news lies and hate talk. What an ignorant country America has become.

Those networks REPORT news. Faux News PROMOTES "news."

You can bet that if 100,000 people marched to support Obama or protest something the republicans did, CNN would be all over it. ACORN? How about the NRA? If undercover reporters made videos of NRA employees telling people how to buy guns illegally, encourage arms smuggling or how to cheat on taxes, CNN would be all over it.

Doesn't surprise me since Fox is all about entertainment and doing anything to pump up their ratings. Just as Limbaugh is in it for the money and should not be taken seriously, so is Fox News. I'm even to the point of not watching the regular Fox channel since it's so closely associated with Fox News.

Keep up the good work CNN. Sometimes you lean a little far left for me, but at least your anchors don't outright lie.

Unbelievable!!! The republicans are just sick liars & greedy pigs. I have NO respect for them at all. Republicans are NOT Americans.

everything on FOX is a lie

For any of those promoting FOX news RATINGS, you might want to check their ad RATES against CNN et al. For some reason, their viewers are apparently not regarded as people who could, or would, spend money...wonder why??? (Possibly too much "trailer-trash"?)

Remeber if you disagree with Obama you're a racist. But if you disagree with a 100% whitey (instead of 50% like our inexperienced, freshman Senator who can only speak with a telepromter in front of him...the same guy that's trying to hand this country over to the uneducated, ghetto trash, trailer park filth) it's OK. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Come on CNN it's time for another article talking about racists...the poor old blacks being held back by whitey. CNN seems to be good at that, everyday an article about racists..as regular as my morning sh!t. Because everyone knows only a white man can be racist. Again...GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Here's the thing: All news has a political lean one way or the other. CNN does have a slightly more liberal lean. Fox is a bit more to the right. CBS is a little bit more center. Same for ABC. NBC/MSNBC slightly more to the left. It's just a fact of life. Some channels break news before others. It's life. Move on or get over it. Doesn't matter to me.

Finally- Fox News made a major misstep in printing a blatant untruth about other news networks, and the polite refusal of other networks to take them on will come to an end. I had CNN on all day, and they had live coverage of the DC events starting at around 1pm. Liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it- it's an outright lie, and one they can get pinned for. There is absolutely something called freedom of the press- and I respect journalism that does not necessarily reflect my political views, as with the Wall Street Journal, which is a real news source that has journalistic integrity. Fox is a whole other animal unto itself- a profit-driven, corporate owned media giant. Afraid of "the government"? You should be afraid of Fox.

Isn't is ironic that Beck (and Fox) started this whole mess and didn't even bother to ATTEND the thing; kind of like Palin's self-adulation crew committing her (don't I wish) to an important GOP event and then she suddenly has no knowledge (yeah, we get that) of ever having been invited. In other words, if you don't offer her enough money, she can't afford her speechwriter.
I DID see coverage on all the networks throughout the day, and read comments from honest people who were there and admitted that it really was not a million people. And since the groups who came had to PAY to attend, it's no wonder...they paid Beck's operation for the right to get some TV time. I'm still shaking over the angry, mean, dangerous signs I saw. These people are planning to hurt someone.

Thank you RIck for speaking up. Unfortunately, it's falling on deaf ears at FOX. They don't care about truth and honesty and integrity. Their only concern is to be deceptive, spreading fear and hatred.

FOX News is a bully station. The bullies on the right know how to push the buttons of the left, keeping the left either on the defensive, or causes them to waste energy pointing out the lies coming from the right.

Bullies feel powerful through attention. Attention can be taken away.

How does Fox News possibly pass as a news organization when they have blatantly acted as a front for the last administrations news leaks and talking points. They have really taken advantage of the "dumbing down of America" as their appeal is directed to that market but as a bonafide news organization they fall hopelessly short.

The days of true "journalism" are gone, gone, gone. Used to be able to watch the news and just hear the facts. Now , Fox , is just a buncha knuckle heads opinions. They are so racist, biast, angry and ignorant. Only reason to watch for amusement.

Edward R. Murrow is rolling over in his grave.

Why don't you blast Jon Stewart as well for what he said about major media being non-existent? This is America and there is freedom of speech for all people and all views. I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and other news outlets to make my own informed decision. There is always some bias in reporting, and many different perspectives. You can't can't have input from only one source and have some sense of truth. Seems to me that tolerance is only for those who ascribe to your views.

Crap.....do you really think Fox cares or looks at what other networks do....NO!!!....they are always "US against them" scheme.

Fox is the single biggest reason why there is so much rancor and divisiveness in our country. You have Sean Insanity knocking Obama at every single newscast and the truth never comes into play.

Now you know how it feels to be lied about. These people have
no class, scruples, intelligence, self-respect---- the list
goes on and on. I just can't say how disgusting they are in a
few words, or printable words for that matter. These people, and
those who believe them, are why I pray every day: God Help Us!

I did not see any interviews on CNN, CBS, or MSNBC, that showed why people were upset with president spending our grand childrens money

Rick Sanchez has rocks man, way to go Rick for calling out the baby-bullies at Fox.

Fox is devoid of facts. Their were 2 million people at the rally according to the University of I don't know. Just like when the original rallies in April. The Fox guy off camera asks the guy in charge how many people? He is giving the guy numbers....1 thousand? 2? 5? The guy says 5 at the most. So less than 10 minutes later the Fox guy comes on and says 15,000 people are there.....seems like a pattern. They don't care about the truth and either do there viewers. If they told their viewers the President is going to round up all puppies and kittens and kill them and make the little kids watch they would believe it. FOX has good sports but that's about it.

So the lying news network of the lying regressive party purchased lying ads. Ho, hum...

Fux news channel is hilarious....and its NOT a news channel.
ANYONE who has ever spent an hour watching it, knows that.
Keep up the good work, Cnn

Fox news has been repeatedly criticized for it's unfair reporting on the Obama administration. Apparently they made a bigger deal out of this event than the other networks. This event was largely driven and attended by people who like to proclaim "Obama is a Nazi", "the health care proposals include death panels and free care for illegal immigrants" and all of the other propaganda perpetuated by windbags like Limbaugh and Beck. If a network can't report news even-handedly, it's not news. I'll continue to rely on CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC to provide fair and even coverage of issues. Freedom of the Press is, and should be, a constitutional right. People need to realize that this is what allows the National Enquirer, and Fox news to stay in business.

FOX is a joke. It is almost like watching cartoons but sadder.

Fox News was wrong with their false advertising and the federal trade commission should step in and fine them; just like they would any other business that falsely advertised. Shame on Fox news they should know better!

Some people feel that the world is going to end when Obama became President; however the world did not end with the Bush administration nor will it end with the Obama administration.

We need diversity in our government we'd have all kinds of problems if we only had one party and the Republicans make it appear that they are the only ones that are correct with their policy, they are so wrong!

Doesn't surprise me in the least! It backs the Republican Party, and they are all liars and racist!

CNN is in the bag for Obama......All Obama , all of the time........Anything that shows his true colors-far left – of reality ,is played down.............Tea parties were covered to try to make them look like wacos......The coverage of Acorn was way behind Fox's, hoping it would go away!!!...........Fox coverage will include an opinion of both sides of an issue.......CNN only has liberals trying to make it seen like the left has the only valid points to make......Thats why fox news beats CNN 5 to 1 in viewers!

I keep wondering why Fox "News" is still on the air. They could at least change their name to Fox Bias-backed up by lies and exaggerations, which would be much more realistic.

Fox caters to inbred, white trash bible nazis and gun fascists. The right wingers are delusional if they think that Fox isn't biased towards their twisted beliefs.

LMBO off at Fox for this one! Rick Sanchez blasted their lying booties with full truth. Now I hope everyone gets to see how Fox delivers their Fauxny News. They lie all the freakin time. Glad somebody called them on it. Fired up! Ready to go!

I came home from a previous engagement Saturday night (12th) and was anxious to see what the crowd was like and what I was missing. My computer's start page is CNN.com, and I couldn't find out details (crowd size, problems etc). You see, I tend to watch Fox News, read CNN & MSN online, because I don't buy into anyone's BS. Truthfully, for a 15 minute scan, there wasn't much on CNN or MSN (10:30 pm EDT)

There was practically NOTHING on either outlets prior to the protest, so FOX wasn't being disingenious with the ad.

I think the conclusion that was jumped in this CNN article is coverage during the event, because I can assure you, there was little -to- none prior to the event.

Nice spin though!

Fox News is always called "False News". That confirms it,

Fox needs a new by-line. Something like:

Fox... where Facts go to die

or

Fox... where Facts don't matter

I don't watch TV much, but I do read the news online. I looked for the story about the Tea Party protests and ONLY found it on Fox News. CNN and the others never seem to report anything bad about the dems or anything good about the Republicans. Fox is the only one that reports good and bad from both sides. By the way, if you disagree with this, look for the story about ACORN right now before you comment on this. You won't find it here, but you can hear all about it on Fox. Want all the news? Stop reading CNN.

As a former history teacher I make it a point to seek news from a variety of sources. I must admt i was shocked by the scant or lack of coverage by the listed news agencies. Especially when you compare it to the extensive coverage given to the Bush protester's. What was even more troubling was the coverage was mostly negative including such things as the dispute over the number of protesters., and the signs they carried. Reporters founf it to be offensive that Mr. Obama was portrayed in a negative way includinding to look like Hitler. This was the theme of most of the reporting. Why the sudden outrage? Where was their anger when Bush was portrayed as Hitlet or hung in effigy and even burned in effigy. So it's not only that the listed agencies gave little or no coverage, when they did cover it it was far from fair and balanced. Maybe this is why Fox numbers are so much better then the other news organizations. I will continue to seek a variety of news sources i just hope that All the news agencies will remember its not only what you cover but how you cover it.

Reading the comments here reminds me of about everything in our culture. Everyone is screaming at everyone else. Everyone is convinced of their virtues but not of others' virtues. Everyone is convinced of their version of reality.

So, we have become a country of people who yell at each other rather than of people who listen to and respect each other.

Where is your pride, people? Stop blaming the other guy.

Our problems are not due to other peoples' beliefs. Our problems are due to how easy it seems to be for us to fight each other. We think other people who disagree with us are not fellow Americans with different beliefs but instead are enemies. And this belief, surprise! creates enemies.

I for one am tired of it. I don't care what you believe, within limits of decency. But I do care how you talk to and about people who disagree with you.

Every 24/7 news channel has leanings, but Fox just isn't credible. They blatantly make things up and say things that aren't true. If you have to proclaim that you're "fair and balanced", odds are you aren't.

If you want a truly fair viewpoint watch a news hour on something like BBC America or even PBS. They just say what happened today, not over-analyze it with talkings heads from multiple sides.

I think CNN is the closest to neutral of the big three 24/7 channels, though Lou Dobbs is getting into Glenn Beck territory on the ridiculous scale. I change the channel when Lou comes on now. He used to be more credible. MSNBC is flaming liberal, but they at least don't flat out lie like Fox does.

I can't take Fox seriously. Higher ratings doesn't make you accurate. It means you're saying what passionate, angry people want to hear.

I say all the networks named in this ad should get together and put out an ad directed to Fox News that simply says, "YOU LIE!"

Fox is smartly following the lead of Joe Wilson and legions of angry republicans. These days, the content of what you say doesn't mean anything. It's how loud you say it. Joe Wilson, Serena Williams, Kanye West, and the tea party protests all demonstrate that the media and public care about spectacle over intelligent debate. Need further proof? Keep an eye on the most popular stories on CNN and you'll quickly see the truth in this.

Fox understands that if you attack your competition, you'll get ahead. How you attack doesn't matter. Just look at the weak, defensive response from CNN. Instead of hitting right back at Fox, they immediately defend their coverage, which makes Fox look even stronger.

Look at Joe Wilson. No one knew anything about this guy. So he yells at the president, basks in the media spotlight, and has now become a household name.

Fox may be the most slanted news network. They may have the least talent of any major news organization. But they understand, better than most, that if you look strong, simple people will follow you.

It's just like high school. You have a few bullies and their stupid followers on one side, and smart kids going for debate team and class pres. on the other.

If America was one big class, republicans would be the bullies yelling and shouting so no one can hear what the smart kids have to say.

What we need is for the smart people to go toe-to-toe with the bullies. What's the point of having great ideas if they're being drowned out by people yelling "nazi" and "communist".

It appears that FOX has a lock on the brainless, knuckle-dragging, Neanderthals that make up the Tea Party. Of course FOX covered the event end-to-end: they were one of the primary sponsors.

FOX's broadcast license should have been revoked long ago. I know the main networks, other than CNN, may seem to be biased on some issues some of the time but FOX has always been at another stratosphere. Their listeners are brainwashed and can't discuss any issue intelligently. FOX is a clear and present danger to our democracy...

Fox News is crap, they were before this, and they will continue to be. It is more biased than any news organization known. Republicans spoon this crap on their kids from toddler age on. It is the only way to continue the fight, because anyone who actually thinks for themselves would plainly see through the smoke and mirrors. GOBAMA!

FOX should have said the other networks didn't report it in the distorted way they would have liked.

Wow! Was there another civil rights rally in Washington?

Fox news in general are good except for a few but going down hill with several slanted people, like Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh. They are open Repuublican and against anything that the Deomrats.However, sometimes they do stupid things like this ad.

The Fox News Chanel is a joke. How they can sit there straight faced and say they are "fair and balanced" is amazing. Hannity, Beck, Gingrich, Coulter, Rove and the rest of those right wing crazies are nothing but hate mongers and bigots. What can you expect from people when their party is lead by Hush Lumbaugh!!. These people care about nothing except their wallets and bringing down this country. I have NEVER seen a POTUS treated as shamefully as Pres. Obama has been treated. Their party is in freefall and their desperation is showing. Tea baggers just want an excuse to bash Obama. Losers!

Barjack, there is a difference between putting a spin on things and bald face lying. To claim that the other networks didn't cover a story when they really did, is a lie. If they had claimed that they had better and more comprehensive coverage, then that would be a spin and your point would be a fair one. Unfortunately, that's not what they did. Fox choose to lie, and they deserve to be called out for it.

It's probably just as well I missed a lot of the Tea Party coverage. I would have asked them why they are so trusting in capitalism, and isn't that what we have working now. The banks have collapsed, the housing market is a disaster, jobs are going overseas, high health care costs, credit card rates rising, and the high rate of homes foreclosures. So capitalism is good because?? The only ones that seem able to afford their health care are the medicare folks. Oh, wait, that's a government program - I guess I really don't understand these financial issues very well.

Shouldn't the FCC get involved here. This ad was patently false on its face and is designed to libel and slander the other networks who actually (for the most part) report the news. I believe we should all voice our complaints to the FCC, after all aren't they supposed to regulate the airwaves for content.

I believe that a large fine or suspension of broadcast privileges for 30 days would be a good start to send the message. Then if Fox continues it's campaign of defamation, the next step should be the suspension of their broadcasting privileges.

As long as these lies and purposeful misinformation is allowed to pervade our airwaves growth in this great country and the principles of truth and justice will be at great risk.

The FCC must not allow bold face lies to be presented as news on our publicly owned airwaves!!

Steve Adams

i hear they are doing a remake of The Three Stooges;it will star sean hanitty-glen beck-dick morris and rush limbaugh as shep

All the channels report both sides even if they do lean one way or another except for Fox. That is why it is called Fake Fox news. They only tell one side. They will put a liberal on but not let them speak without interrupting the whole time. I stopped watching it several years ago. I would be surprised if they showed anything other than the tea party coverage.

Is there any doubt that the people at FOX have gone completely crazy.

There is no lie they are not willing to tell. No matter how easily proved it is a lie.

They are a danger to our country, America!!

I find it funny on how all news organizations say they are the most watched or the most accurate. I'm sure NBC, ABC, CBS and even CNN has at some point made claims like this from Fox News. They are all guilty of bias in some way or other.

you mean your a proud member of the socialist party!

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? If CNN covers a story, and no one watches CNN, was the story covered?

LOL!! Look who is complaining – Fix News – the self proclaimed "fair and balanced" network that would not cover President Obama's address to the nation.

Under Bush, Fix News was all about patriotism even if executive branch kept on bending/breaking laws of the land. Now, the country go to hell because for Fix News there is only one objective – bring Obama down.

Come on guys, don't fall into the trap. Remember the adage that any coverage, is good coverage? You given tea parties another couple of days of news coverage by re-covering, that which you've already covered all in the name of righteous indignation. Who cares what Fox is saying? Do you actually believe that an ad like that would actually convince anyone? Don't be the fools. That ad got all your dander up and you should have simply ignored it for what it was, a news trap.

I didn't watch the tea parties cause frankly I don't care what these people think about the government.....or for a matter of fact anything.

Oh if you dress up like a revolutionary war soldier you just look like an idiot,

Where is the long running story on fox news about the man of the claw saying he want Obama to die? where is the news about the Interior dept under bush having sex for oil contracts. The news need to be balance but you can not have balance news when the news media hates Obama and lie on or about everything he does. everyone knows what they mean when they say our country. it once belonged to the indians. If they (fox news) would have been such Americans why did bush get away with lies and everything he and his cronies wanted without a word from bill, hannity, beck or the drug addict rush.

when your number one the second rates always go after you. i love fox news.

Kudos to FOX News for standing up for our rights. Shame on the other media networks. They are afraid of asking the Obama admin even the simpliest of questions.

apparently Fox News has no control over their own ads.

How stupid do you have to be to suggest that those other media didn't cover a particular story?

A fifth grader could locate some of the written and taped stories that Fox says didn't take place.

You seem surprised that Fox News is lying to you. I can't imagine why this should surprise you. I assume they're lying all the time, and most of the time, I'm right.

Why don't FNC (Fox News Channel) change their name to RNC (Republican News Channel)? Why don't MSNBC change their name to the DNC (Democrat News Channel)? CNN you're somewhere in the middle although a bit liberal at times. What happened to the news coverage I seen as a young man, before cable news started? You could listen to ABC,NBC or CBS evening news and never knew what political party the News Anchor were. This was really when they reported the news and you(the viewer) decided on the merits of the story. Americans are getting fed up with the Republicans and the Democrats and News Channel wars. There is a longing for real no-bias journalism and not the degraded slop we have to deal with. I hope you post my comment, viewers should see this.

I read thru all the cnn.com headlines 5 of 7 days a week, but listen to (fairly) moderate talk radio, which in these "left-leaning
times is probably considered conservative.

Where the moderate talk radio covered this for a straight week buffering the months of Tea Talk aready logged...

CNN did not as far as I remember put this story up front in their list of top stories.

To those people who think FOX is way-right-leaning...that is simply a lie. FOX is consistently rated bias-neutral by university and non-affiliated media studies...

I can't say that cnn is obsessed with race...(how easy it is to pin anything controversial on race).

I can say CNN is a good lite-news source. And their CNNMoney is a helpful tool.

But the reaity is that CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC are ALL more left-leaning and left-biased. In down economies, the left-leaning media pushes fabulous news and schlock-journalism to get ratings up to sell ads, which is a liberal spend-spend business strategy.

A Conservative business strategy would be to focus on the basics, cut out waste and get back to core strengths...to do what works...I think FOX has a very powerful and well-balanced formula...different but hearty.

It's your choice, what you pay attention to...do you want Michael Jackson 24/7 or do you want Iran Election Coverage. I will let you decide whether it is the left or "way-right" media that covers each.

CNN is concerned because Fox just keeps getting better ratings (as is every other cable news station). So concerned, that CNN has been conducting viewer surveys, lasting, 20-30 minutes which require answering very detailed questions on why people are watch Fox especially Bill and Greta. CNN is OK though. But, when O'Reilly and Greta are on, I'm there.

to me, the fox news network is our axis of evil;add in rush limbaugh along with glen beck,sean hanitty,dick morris and to some extent bill oreily and what you have are people who are su upset that we have a black president that no matter what he says or does they make it all bad and they purposely try to get the people riled up against him;they are inciting people to be violent , all it takes is for one person who already is slightly unbalanced to take seriously one of their comments and try to assinate the president;ive never in all my life heard such negatiivity against the pres.as i am hearing now;i seriously think the attorney general should investigate these people and see if their comments could be taken as treason against the u.s.

Fox telling a fib on the news? NO WAY!!!!!! Wow, just when I thought Fox News could not go any lower, I was proved wrong once again. I take anything I hear from Fox News and compare it to the REAL news like CNN or AP to get the real story. Their news is so slanted, I have to rotate my T.V. just to get the picture upright.

The real question is why would anyone cover the Tea Party story. These people are idiots who hate America for electing Obama. Exactly ho wis that news?

I am complete irritated with FOX-News. Here we are again, "We covered but no body else did." It's just a sign that Fox news is failing as a news coverage agency. They are just jealous. Eat em' up Rick Sanchez!

Fox News...what a number 1 propaganda network..anyone that believes
what they put out needs an IQ test.

Who cares? These are just a bunch of crazies.

none of the major networks covered accorn either. chuck gibson of abc was not even aware. the state run media is oblivious to the truth and will cover for democrats because they are biased towards them.

i guess all of us crazy right wingers will continue to use fox as our main source it is the only source for news and the ratings reflect it.

cnn you are a bunch of losers.

Brilliant. Using CNN's own picture to show CNN was there but didn't cover the story of American Patriots marching for liberty against the tyranny of government. Instead it was CNN's endless Joe Wilson "You Lied" story and Americans are racist story.

Fox is complaining to keep the "hate" churning!! They knew before taking out this advertisement what networks had reported. As to why these other networks spent such time on hate is beyond me!! Hateful signs of the president have NOTHING to do with health care. The professionally printed signs regarding Obamacare & Kennedy were disgraceful. I'm assuming those that chose to carry that sign could read! Imagine how they would feel if the situation was reveresed. The best part is the elderly who carried signs against the dreaded "socialized" health care!! Think those folks gave up their Medicare? Then the Billionaires arrived!! Although they are protesting for the same, the Billionaires are called un-American.

When people protested the "made-up" war in Iraq that has taken 4000+ lives and gravely injured even more, Michele Malkin called them "nothing but people throwing temper tantrums"! Let's see, a war killing our citizens OR a president who'd like the citizens to have affordable quality health care. Why would this even need explanation??

They should include a theme song for all their s-called correspondents.
Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.

How about "Send in the Clowns"

Even if Fox News were truthful...let turn this around and ask FOX why they continually not show the President of The United States when he addresses the nation. All Networks covered Obama's rally on healthcare...not FOX. For those of you who just shrug this off as this just being Fox...this is a dangerous game. If Fox continues this type of game playing...they will be responsiable for violence in the streets. They are trying to create a race war for ratings. Its clear.Its obvious and its dangerous.

Fox is an insignificant network, so why CNN, CBS, NBC et al would even bother to respond is beyond me...

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the liberal media didn't give them much coverage; they have a record of under-reporting "conservative" causes and events. I'm not saying that Fox is less biased, btw.

Typical case (and I bet CNN won't run this comment): last March, over TWO MILLION empty red envelopes were sent to the White House on March 31 as a protest against abortion. Not one of the organizers, nor anyone involved, could find any coverage by a major news outlet, including Fox. The White House postal service confirmed that they arrived.

If two million pieces of mail had shown up at the White House all in one week on any other subject, there would have been at least a mention, if not a headline.

"News" no longer means reporting facts; it means selectively announcing particular things and putting a major, biased spin on them.

Who cares about the shouting people who have no facts. They just yell and have nothing to contribute.

HEY CNN when you going to report that the government shut down water in California for farmers. And now farmers can't produce food! because the government rather save a tiny fish.

Oh wait i forgot apparently you got better things to talk about! AT LEAST FOX TALKS ABOUT REAL issues that effect American people.

faux "news" has a following ONLY of right wing nuts! There ARE NO moderate people watching that crap! YES they have hi ratings, um because they are THE ONLY RIGHT WING FRINGE CHANNEL!!! There are plenty of real news stations out there and they have to share all the other groups of people with their heads on straight! FAUX is NOT a news station, they are a loon fest. Beck is a joke, that cries on the air, and lies! Hannitty is constantly caught lying and so is bill o. AGAIN, no REAL American watches that channel for more than a good laugh!

Don't you guys see that this a plot by Fox News to get ratings and sucker all networks to publicize these one-sided events in the future. Wakeup News Networks it seems that Fox is getting the upper hand, shame on you CNN for the bait.

I don't understand why they didn't cover it as much as FOX. It was historic. The last time the Mall was filled with that many hateful, ignorant white trash was when the Klan marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in 1928.

quote from John, Chicago: "one of you idiots at Faux news said there was 2.5 million people"...

actually, what fox news reported was there was a report sent to Obama stating that there could be as many as 2.5 million that showed... fox then followed this up by interviewing organizers of the event which stated that this was a gross exaggeration of expecation - a tatic done to belittle the actual outcome and make it appear as a failure. Honestly John – if your going to quote a report, get your facts straight.

Is it really a surprise! During the campaign McCain won every debate against Obama according to their broadcasts. Let's be honest FIX news is the news coverage of the White Supremist, Nazis and the Ku Klug Klan. They'd rather see a whiteman drive our country into the abyss then see a blackman save it. What I also find comical is how the right wingers think that by being against abortion it makes them holier than thou, but they have no problem with 47+ million people without health insurance many of them being children.......

Hey is anyone else fed up with FOX,MSNBC,CNN,CBS,NBC OR ANY OTHER NEWS OUTLET .. Can't we we just have news that is truthful
with out the spin of the political parties, or favortism or which party the T.V owners of these companys are being paid to support. Is it not time
in all of this Chaos to just tell the Ameerican people the truth & nothing but to the truth..

Obviously FOX covers the news to the right of center...at times covering the far right fringe and beyond. But that is why we have freedom of the press in this country. The fact that a huge majority of Americans think they are lunitics or from Mars doesn't matter - it is their constitutional choice.

Fox News should be slammed for calling themselves a News station. They're nothing but a bunch of liars that distort the truth to slant to the right.

I live in Ecuador, South America. My cable company provides me with CNN en Español as well as CNN International and also with the Fox News Channel. CNN en Español mainly covers news in Latin America and less in the USA. CNN International focuses mostly on Europe and Asia. So if I want round the clock information on what's happening in the USA I have to turn to Fox. Their conservative view point really bothers me, nevertheless, sometimes it is my only choice. I wish you could broadcast your domestic programation to cable companies around the world, as Fox does. That will give us a more balanced information of what is really going on. I would love to have CNN available!!

FOX is the neo-con network. Did anybody forget to post on the newspaper how they forgot to air Obama's speech to congress?? Now that is true fact.

We need to rename it the "Bushie loyals Express" Network!!

Speaking of the coverage ... Have you wondered where all the protestors got their posters, who manufactured them, who distributed them at the "Tea Party"?, and who is paying for the posters, and who is providing the buses to transport the protestors from one screaming location to another?

Wouldn't releasing that information make a glorious story on the evening news?

I love Fox. Fox and CNN. Only two I can stand that aren't misleading and panhandling to the left a 100% of the time.

Who in their right mind is going to watch these teabaggers scream and yell and lie and use racial slurs against our president?
It's not news...its more like a third reich rally.
I honestly think the republicans are basing their rallies off Hitlers rallies.
They're all sick and demented and disgusting. And they profess to be christians.
They make me sick.

The lead story all day on the CNN website was the tea party in DC. There was a big picture of the event on the upper left hand corner of the home page for cnn.com. So, how is this underreporting of the event? The humorous thing to me is that Rupert Murdoch, an Australian with financial reasons to promote a conservative agenda, tells the reporters and commentators what to say on a daily basis, and the viewers think it is "an all-American" network.

I do not understand the outrage. Fox and their announcers always says whatever they please. Facts and truth have never mattered to this network.

This seems less like a " news article" from CNN and more like a retort. Bad journalism.

Me thinks you protesteth too much. R

I check cnn everyday and while its true they covered the event it was embarrassing how far behind they were on the reporting it before Sept 12. The ACORN scandal is another example. It's like CNN, ABC, and CBS have to watch FOX to get their news.

This is so staged.

The fake ad was done up so Fox could draw more attention to the tea party protests. The put up a fake ad knowing it would be attacked, thuis expanding their focus onto the event itself.

Murdoch wants these guys to be martyrs for tax revolution.

Very sad. The folks who attended were paid for by conservative think-tanks through FreedomWorks.

Not Fooled by Murdoch
Los Angeles

This is not news, CNN. Please report it when FOX News does not lie.

"The same people who watch fox news are the same people who listen to Rush Limbaugh nuff said"

x2!

It's rather difficult to accurately report the news when you have your head (Fox news) buried in the sand.

I guess this also proves that if you work for Fox it's perfectly acceptable to lie if telling the truth doesn't bring in those high ratings.

The networks may have covered the rally but as usual they have downplayed and under emphasized it to suit their leftist agenda. They are currently trying their best to ignore Acorn many transgressions. A Republican Governor has an affair and it is the lead story. The President of our country has close ties to a obviously corrupt organization and it hardly makes a blip in the network coverage. Stop pretending that the media is anything more than the the advertising division for the current administration. Please people in media honor the great legacy of your profession and start doing your jobs as independent seekers of truth. You are a disgrace to your profession every time you spin and under report the facts.

FOX news.
Fear on xenophobia.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC gave that silly demonstration all of the coverage that was warranted. Why would they spend all their time covering 60,000 idiots that went to DC to complain about government spending, only to complain about the lack of additional services on the METRO...PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.... LMAO

I recently started watching Fox (I switched over from CNN) and
Fox seem to be the only News Network that is actually keeping an eye on the White House and Congress. A lot of people are switching to Fox because of this. CNN is my home page and I saw very little if any coverage on the Tea Party or Acorn on CNN or any other news network. There is a reason Fox is #1 in the ratings and their ratings continrue to grow each month. CNN & MSNBC are not even in the same galaxy as Fox when it comes to the ratings wars. Call it what you want but people like what they see on Fox and they continue to come back whereas the other news networks are losing ground to Fox daily!!

Another lie from Fox News... I love Rick Sanchez's commentary!

FoxNews.......the most racist media today...anyone that disputes that is either not listening or working for for the biggest racist on earth...Murdock & Company!!!!!

Seriously, anything from Fox (FALSE) News is a lie or an exaggerated lie made to skew public opinion toward the rich GOP. It is great that someone called them on this lie. Now, everyone should do the same. And while you are at it..boycott all Glen Beck Sponsors as his show is absolutely crazy and full of conspiracy stories and exaggerated lies that are absolutely crazy!!l But some nut with a gun might believe his crap and kill someone. Who would be at fault for encouraging some nutcase to kill someone.

CNN Please keep doing what you're doing!! Those nutjobs at Fox keep getting worse and worse. I read CNN, Fox, MSNBC, The Hill, and HuffPo every day, several times a day and CNN's articles are consistently the most balanced and the most informative.

Please don't go the way of the pundit! Keep the news straight! We need somebody to stick around who still believes in real journalism.

The real question is "How is CNN and the rest of the news covering the Acorn controversey?" It is inexcusable that this organization is receiving tax payer dollars. A full and thorough investigation is needed by the "media" and the government.

I'm a liberal. It feels to me that CNN currently leans liberal. But I sense that it's more middle than left.

But during the build-up to the Iraq war ALL news media outlets (including CNN) were worshiping the path to war and presenting only one side – that we must go to war if we are patriotic. That was most infuriating to people like me, who knew all along that war in Iraq was a HUGE mistake and completely unjust. I'll never forgive the media and all the American people who supported the war and of course the Bush administration for leading us down that path. It seems to me that CNN will just lean the way that makes sense to them during any particular time period.

Fox News YOU LIE!

How can people be so blind? The only thing I can think of is that they get all their news from the Communist News Network (CNN). Expand your horizon and watch all the news like most conservatives do, that 's how we know how complicit the main stream media is. We will keep plugging along promoting common sense free enterprise capitalism and in the end it will win out over the massive socialistic takeover of our country.

They use all their senses... FAUX News lives and breathes President Obama. I have come to realize that if it weren't for this administration they would all be out of work... because there would be nothing to talk about.. They spend every waking hour trying to find something FAUX to to report!!!! .... and now they are taking on other news channels to create unnecessary debate... how typical...

Fair and Balanced.? try crooked and drunk

FOX ... the Fair and Balanced Lies Station? The instigator, hypocrisy central, full of krappola, et al.

Nothing new. Just more blatant lies and distortions from FoxNews. Some people are smart enough to see through this and use facts, data and reason.

will everyone please stop pandering to these right wing clowns, who are apparently trying to incite violence, and may even wish for an assault on the duly elected President of the United States? They got exactly what they wanted, more press. This is like small children throwing tantrums – the more attention they get, the more tantrums they throw. Who cares? IGNORE THEM!

I like how all of you CNN kiss ups are coming to the networks defense. I guess it is ok for CNN to report one sided news, but Fox is evil if they do it. I can pull more Left leaning articles off of CNN than you can count. For a company that claims to be about news I see tons of slanted journalism. You want sympathy try real journalism for a change. Report fairly and accurately, and you will never have to worry about defending yourself. Fox promotes sensationalism, but CNN promotes joke journalism.

Everyone seems to be missing the point. It is not about which network is more unbiased, or who has political leanings. FOX messed up. They claim that everyone one else missed the story. This is not true. FOX is not a bad network for being slanted to the right, they are a bad network for running what is essentially a smear campaign.

Fox is still promoting this event...and that is not what Fox News should be about.

I work from home and have the news on all day long as background noise.. I often flip between Fox and CNN as well as check the websites... CNN – you might have "technically" covered it – but barely.. nothing compared to the coverage you gave to a few hundred gay rights activities that rallied on the steps of a courtyard in California several months ago. And nothing close to what was justified considering the number of people that showed. You considered it a joke and your complete bias is obvious – and you know it.

I was listening to Rick Sanchez on CNN (Sirius/XM) when he reamed FAUX NEWS for their LIES! GOOD FOR YOU RICK!

That's what we all must do, when the Far-right LIES....... CALL THEM OUT!

Faux News used to get "talking points" from the Bush Regime, what else can we expect?

Also, the Far-right INFLATED their numbers at the Tea-Baggers protest! The National Park police said it was in the thousands ..... NOT..... millions!

GOP= LIES, hate,fear & division!

Let me just say that Fox was hired by the Republican Party in the Bush adminstration to be the propaganda agent for the party. Now, they feel they can spread their propoganda to everyone BUT, they forgot that the majority of Americans have a brain with which we can think.

Let me be clear...Fox is the propoganda agent for a very radical, communistic movement in this country by a radical group who calls themselves conservative Republicans. Olympia Snowe has said in the past day that she has not changed, but the Republican party has changed. Snowe is a conservative Republican from Maine. Anyway, this movement is set on trying to overthrow our government! That's pretty scary because when you analyze their comments and really get to the bottom of the details on "death panels", they are really in favor of it. So all you folks with bad health or now in the future, be prepared to face the "death panels" if these radicals get their way.

Best way to fight, publicly shun Fox, and seek to have them taken off the air for spreading propoganda. Have a national march on the US Capitol in protest of Fox. That'll get the attention of the idiots causing the trouble in this country I love. And, also shun people like Rush Limbaugh...the guy's either on drugs or he really is that STUPID!

Yes what else is new. I like to see how far Fox will go before level headed people begin to see how nuts these reports and the anchors that deliver them are.

For the past two weeks I've gotten all of my news from CNN on TV and online. I know a LOT about the rally and have seen a lot of it. I didn't get any of my information from Fox News.

Way to go Fox – great publicity stunt. It even got me talking about you.

CNN like ABC, CBS and especially NBC has a slobbering love affair with Obama so they sit on anti government stuff until the last possible moment like with the Acorn stuff. CNN did cover the rallies but they didn't cover the "story", they didn't cover origins of these particular rallies on 9/12 which was the 9/12 Project, the driving force behind it all. All that was said was lots of people here protesting this and that and that was pretty much it. CNN did miss the story, they just missed the story behind the story because they didn't want to acknowledge the key driving force behind the events of that day was a host on Fox News by the name of Glenn Beck. Unlike Fox News, Obama isn't afraid of CNN.

Well I know for a fact it was on HLNs cycle of stories that morning.

1. Saw the CNN story on this... something like "protesters without a leader"? It also got some coverage in the Time story about how Glenn Beck is evil.

2. Not sure why it was such big news anyway. They did seem to be pretty disorganized and I couldn't tell what they were actually protesting from the various news stories about it. Would it really have been so bad if Fox news was the only organization that covered it? I sure could have done with fewer headlines about it and the crazy town-hall people. I get it. There's an uneducated poor segment of the population who watches Fox News, listens to Rush Limbaugh, and thinks Obama is trying to hurt them.

Why bother responding to anything fox news says?
They're the worst of the worst and I blocked out their channels on my tv.

It would be nice if all the networks slammed Fox so called news, for all their other lies and falsehoods. They aren't news at all. They are nothing but right wing propaganda. If the truth does'nt fit their program they'll just make something up, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

continuation...

CNN worked hard to make news coverage at the tea party. It is not fair to treat them that way. I think CNN deserved to file a lawsuit against FOX NEWS...maybe a civil libel action. I'm telling you rick sanchez, FOX NEWS WILL NEVER APOLOGIZED.

glen beck and bill o'reilly...they're demagogue, that's the reason why i don't listen/watch them anymore

PS: I used to be a republican, now i'm an independent.

Nice move Fox!

Firing up conservatives with muddled facts again.

The imbeciles at Fox incorrectly quoted a park service spokesperson as saying the rally drew one of the largest crowds in DC history. The actual quote was lifted from a statement made in January by the same official regarding the Obama inauguration. DC police estimated the tea party rally at no more than 70,000 which is truly underwhelming considering the number of people who are usually in the area around the Mall during the day. Leave it to Fox to blow it out of proportion and then chastise anyone else who didn't swallow their propaganda.

Just another example of how FOX lies and misleads the ignorant, uneducated and hateful right wingers who believe everything they say. FOX News has not credibility among anyone with an education and a brain.

Wow! Rick Sanchez tore a strip off of Fox. It was almost Fox-worthy - seriously. Maybe CNN should spend more time tearing those guys apart.

The dems are on their way out. Just look at the ratings.
I love how all the liberal news outlets are now jumping on FOX with the "OH MY GOD, WE HAVE THEM NOW!!!!" mentality. America is waking up now with the fear of becoming The People's Republic of Amerika. You all call it "tea-bagging", we call it Freedom of Speech, and now that it is not in your favor, you start complaining.

Only a hit dog will holler.....just look at the piling on of Fox.

well, they need their audience to blame something besides sense, for the fact that their little protest turned out to be entirely pointless.

There are so many people missing the point here. The issue is not editorial bias (we all know it exists). The issue is that Fox News straight up lied in an advertisement. Is lying a virtue you want in your "news" provider? And those of you ranting about ratings are idiots. A news network is not more legitimate just because more people are willing to watch/listen to it. It just means more people are willing to believe what they say.

Fox just digs itself deeper into the hole, alongside the republican party.

Everyone over the age of 5 should know better than to try to watch fox anymore. Sometimes I feel as if their spin is a slap in the face because I can see through their one side position, wonder how dumb they are, or assume that we are. CNN should really point out the fact that the tea party movement was Libertarian in the beginning. All of this started with Ron Paul supporters, Dick Armey would have been spit on four years ago at the start of those gatherings. Now with the opportunity to "spin" or lie as they should call it. Fox tries to portray a group with many different views as anti Obama. Discusting journalism, however, they don't seem to care, where is the penalty for just lying to the public daily? There should be penalties for it as bad of an effect it has on a lot of poorly informed Americans.

fox is not real news a comedy show

Everything in this country is starting to sound so childish it is disheartening. I feel bad for the very young ones because we adults are not acting accordingly. SAD!!!

I remember when the protests happened. CNN carried minimal stories, somehow never showing overhead shots. They also were very slanted in the stories they did have. The website was even worse.

I wish CNN was more objective in their reporting

Fox News what do you expect, biasd reports, lying reporters, the poorist network to watch.....I don't give this network any of my viewing time.........As long as they have Glen Beck, Hannity and the rest of their racist journalists and reporters, they will never have my viewing time

Maybe it should be up for longer. When a major group of people has protested in the past, it is all over the media, but when the protest is criticizing someone they "love" they down play it as much as possible.

it never said they didn't cover the event. it said they missed the story.

Just like a whining child, FOX should be ignored...it's amazing how they can pull people into their lies...SMART people know they are lying and have been proven liars...the FACT that CNN is defending itself against them, gives them more power than they are worth..

It's called BULLYING 101..and CNN (and the other networks) fell for it....again....geesh

Honestly, it's not a surprise....which "news" agency, of all that exist in the free world, purchases ad space to slander others and then subsequently embarrass itself by being absurdly wrong (not that this situation is unique, they are always incredibly biased)? FOX News. Period.

No one understands....actually, forget understands.....no one executes more poorly on stupidities like this than FOX. They are a bunch of moron hooligans that pour venom into the eyes and ears of the under-educated. The sad thing is that I actually watch FOX for 50% of my TV news time just to get a glimpse of the lies that they are spreading and so I can better understand what these poor fools (the under-educated religious zealots) are being fed.

The good news is that ultimately, anyone with a peanut for a brain understands that what is wrong with America can be aptly demonstrated in a short viewing of this so-called "News Network," and that all you need to do to correct it is turn off your TV, READ from multiple sources, and get out of your miserable little towns and into the world that non-manic, normal people live in.

FOX News, thank you for reinforcing your inability to function both on a reporting level as well as organizationally (I wonder which bimbo intern is going to get burned for not doing her homework on the real news networks).

Why would you dignify ANYTHING that the Republican Cretins at Faux News says? It's not news and it doesn't warrant even your attention much less commentary! Faux News is totally irrelevant in concert with the totally irrelevant and taking too long to die Republican Party! Please don't announce their final demise.

I think CNN should tell Obama to go see Alice. Maybe he will be ready?? But never to know what he talks about..

What else would you expect from the Fascist News Channel?

I so very much miss they days of news reporters. Just the news, both sides w/o editorial slant or party leaning.

There is, nor had there ever been, anything fair and balanced about Fox News. And they do lie. Apparently, like in politics, you can blatantly lie about another organization and it's not considered liable. That's a shame.

Today, we have to watch several news stations, AND read a lot on the web to get the whole story – both sides.

Again, how I miss the days of Walter Cronkite..

It is a lie that FOX news has more viewers than main stream media because FOX has only republican/conservative viewers while moderates/liberals watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, PBS...

The hate-mongers all rally at FOX and the rest of us have many other places to go.

Fair and balanced? We report/you decide? What a crap new organization and not because I don't agree with them but because they play the news to their audience of whackos and could care less about the truth! Pity...

Unfortunately, they succeeded in what they really wanted: publicity.

I can't believe this so-called news network even bothers to conceal their true mission: ultra right-wing propaganda. In my opinion, Fox News is the heartbeat of reactionaries around the country.

They can all sail off to another country and set up shop there, as far as I'm concerned. There's no need for their rhetoric here. The country's progress is hindered due to subversive broadcasts like Fox News.

Send them packing.

You know what the difference was? Aerial views!

None of the "major" networks showed helicopter shots of the crowd, because they wanted viewers to believe it was a small group, and not one that was actually larger than the Million Man March, or Obama's inauguration!

If CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, and others weren't so left leaning, FOX wouldn't have to place these types of adds. Having said that, FOX is right leaning to be sure, but, they do have and allow dissenting opinions on their network AND even have left leaning commercials. The same cannot be said about the other networks. it truly pathetic that there really isn't a truly fair and balanced network available to the masses. Take, for example, your pathetic coverage of the ACORN story. You hardly covered it and you know it!

Political bias is not the problem people. Yes Fox news was created to promote a single minded party agenda and they do it 10 times more than anyone in history, but that is not the problem. You can see the nonsense and the spin and make your own judgments. Same goes for CNN and MSNBC. The real problem here, that sets Fox news apart is HONESTY. Fox news lies all the time. This add is only one of hundreds of examples. From making up information, editing clips to mislead, "Accidentally" labeling people wrong, to "where just asking a question" journalism. Fox news reports things they know to be false all the time. No other network gets away with that. Even when they make honest mistakes they get blasted and people get fired. At fox you get your own show.

Didn't get the attention of Foxnews but you bet your dollar that if it was reverse political parties these outlets would have made it the TOP STORY 24/7

Hypocrites all of them

BTW turn the water back on in California...none of these outlets covering that story either but foxnews is...poor people...they are AMERICANS not illegals!!!

FOX News report something that is Untrue? False? A Distortion? An Outright Lie? Surely they would Never do Such A Thing! RIght? Not FOX News! Anyone who would even Suspect such a thing must be drinking Kool-Aid. RIght? Not the Honorable FOX News! Tell me it isn't so!

What coverage did ABC, CBS, NPR, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN provide? Their coverage was simply pathetic and anti-American. Look at their ratings, no one wants to listen to socialistic-communistic-anti-American democRAT propaganda lying. I occasionally surf their news channels only to observe what the enemy (democRATS,ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, MSNBC, and CNN ) are up to, and what they are accusing & calling us true Americans of next. I even call and email to complain to the companies that advertise on their stations. I will be really surprised if this gets published, as most of my always civil comments are on this site.

WHEN will the media be governed by some sort of 'truth in advertising' mandate? Stories are constantly false, lead into with totally misleading statements, or totally sold to the public with volience or sex.

In fact, whatever HAPPENED to truth in advertising?

Half the garbage commercials on TV are false, misleading, or on Fox News!

I wonder what the blogs related to Fox News are saying now? Ha!

I was so bothered by Fox News lies i called them and told them about themselves. They should be sued and taken off the air.

Cut Fox news they spent half the year organizing and promoting this event. Maybe its time for CNN to organize its own news and then cover it to death

I suspect that the ad was a mistake. Fox probably believed that MSM would not cover the story, so it ran the ad. Then, whoops, CNN covers the story.

A safe assumption on Fox's part, but this time, it was wrong.

Is it news that FOX News lies? The news is that other media outlets are reporting their lies. Of course, they are only doing it because this time the lie implicated them. I wish CNN would spend more time reporting the distortions that come out of FOX News and the political party whose propoganda wing they are.

FOX News lying? NO WAY!!! Come on people It's FOX News. The home of the most vile pundits in history. They spread racism and hate and that is all. I'm not thrilled with the the other networks especially CNN when they have a policy of not bringing on partisan pundits then Anderson Cooper gives time to the head of the teabaggers but FOX is the lowest.

Imagine that, Fox News being inaccurate. Better yet, FOX NEWS – YOU LIE!

The networks wasted time and effort to cover such an non-event. No one is interested in some fake Fox party....especially a tea party. So lame!

Typical left response to criticism (warranted or not) is attack attack attack.

Welcome to this brave new Obama world.

The more things change the more they get much worse.

Fox simply is saying that all those media compies like CNN missed the point of the event. CNN barely covered it and downplayed it.....as always. They might as well have misse the event. All you do is call godd honsest hard working citizens nazi's and dangerous people. If it was a illegal march CNN would have covered it all day and done a week long mini series on it! CNN played more of Obama and his waste of time same crap speech. CNN just taking it all out of context. and twisting it into half truths and half lies just like Osama...Ops..I mean Obama! Get those 2 confused alot! CNN=Communist News Network!!!

As David Schuster says to right-winters, "You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own truths."
Fox lied in this story, they lied with the picture of the evident, they lied about the numbers( there were not 2 million or 200k, as Tony Blankley said.) The problem with fox is that they just make it up as they go along. And, the truth is proveable.

Faux News just can't let facts get in the way of a good lie.

But if they just keep repeating it and repeating it and repeating it and repeating it - pretty soon the entire right-wing fringe will believe it.

ratings speak for themselfs and we all know who has the better ratings right now.The libs are losing this one and they know it..Obama has been proven a lier and the only defence they can come up with is the race card..what a joke these people are..this guy has made a mockery of the presidency.

Saying a few thousand attended is not coverage.

There is a reason why we have elected Mr. Obama. Too many people are too tired of conservative talk and TV personalities foaming at the mouth. They have no real formative ideas, but instead "entertain" the many in our country by pandering to the lowest common denominator by telling them that nothing is your fault:: its the fault of illegal aliens, unpatriotic democrats, abortion doctors, etc etc. What has happened to listening to another viewpoint? Is there really anyone that still believes that one party has all the answers? I'm 52 years old and find myself getting most of my "connection" to world events from The Onion.

I have total disrespect for Fox news. Beginning with this presidential election coverage I watched less and less because of their bias, false and negative reporting....and today I don't even stop at Fox News because it makes me nautious. CNN seems to be more "fair and balanced". Sean Hannity – Glen Beck – Mike Huckabee .... all irresponsible talk show turkeys. Shame on Fox News ownership/management to allow this kind of chatter to continue.

How can they call themselves Fox "News"-it's more like Fox Garbage-They don't report news. They spin facts-spread lies-and have the most obnoxious; the most self-serving group of "commentators' on television. Why would anyone listen to them when you know ahead of time what they are spewing?

"The Most Trust Name in News"--enough said.

no bias – fox news supported it

Fox is usually under attack by the morons at MSNBC. It all has to do with ratings envy. Sanchez's ratings are not on the radar.

CNN covers the TEA PARTY for 5 minutes during a 24 hour news cycle and I guess technically you're right. Your reporters did cover it, but from CNN Radio, not CNN TV. I did not see it on CNN. On another issue, Rick, if you are worried about putting your lives in danger reporting in the war zones, then stop going and stop demanding that your ASSets be protected. The assets that our military is using to cover your ASSets while you are in the war zones are the same assets that would be used to protect our soldiers actually fighting the wars. Instead, they're diverted protecting your ASSets. We all know the only reason you reporters go over there is for ratings or so you can win some peabody or other media hyped award. I use to listen to CNN religiously and switched because I got tired of your organization "PROMOTING" the Obama administration instead of "REPORTING" on it. I get the feeling that CNN has it's head so far up the administration's butt, that you probably taste their food before they do.

Surpised ?? Not really. Kind of like that " No spin zone " guy they have on. NO SPIN. My A..iling backside.

Awesome segment! Way to point out how UN-Fair and balanced those hippocrites on FOX news ARE!!!! Keep up the good work!
I think you should do more expose's on Joe Wilson and the fact that he actually voted to give healthcare to illegal immigrants and had the odacity to call our President a liar!!!!!!!!!!

They (Fox) also said there were 1 – 1.7 million attending when everyone else including the police estimated 50-75,000...amazing. How could the LIE so about the attendance...to prop up their cause.

Fox is a joke, representing the owner's bias. People supporting their viewpoint would do better to analyze and converse with the opposition to see how we might begin to agree on issues. They , on both sides, are manipulating all of us to maintain the status quo which is very profitable to them.

Fox News = Oxymoron.

'Nuff said.

I used to watch CNN all of the time. Since the election, their news has become left wing biased. Once and a while I like to hear both sides of the story. Thank goodness, I found FOX!!!

All right Rick Sanchez!!! I watched it on CNN. I had repeatedly tried to find a comment section on Fox's article but they weren't offering it.
There would have been too many people telling the truth and that is not something Fox wants when they are spoon feeding their readers their very biased rhetoric...

Seems Fox has failed to understand Jefferson's #1 rule of politics: never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.

How did they miss it? Because CNN doesnt care about whats going on in the real world. CNN is nothing but opinion. I admit, Fox News is definatly biased, but atleast it has numbers, FACTS, and statistics (from unbiased and even liberal sources) to support the angle of the story they are routing for. CNN is just the same ole thing... round table after round table or people giving their opinion who are in no way related to the subject matter. Thats why both CNN and MSNBC's rating have totally DROPPED off the map. We are in a crisis mode as a country and they REFUSE to air the truth. Hope and a positive attitude is a good thing to have but we need to know what is REALLY going on in order to fix it!

Faux News is coiming out of the closet. They are and have always been the propoganda apparatus for the conservitive movement.

Fox News is 99% pure entertainment. That's it. If they perform any authentic journalism it's by sheer accident or the occasional sting.

Well said Rick and all news channels that were falsely accused by FOX news, which should not come as a surprise to anyone. FOX news..................................YOU LIE!!!

Hmmm, especially when the truth comes from no other than the talking hot airhead himself Bill O'Reilly on tape no less, acknowledged that CNN covered the wingnuts koolaid march.......

OMG......................talk about doing your homework before you point fingers.....................Fox News......LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You have to read and listen to all of it, both sides and at least try to think for yourselves !!!

If somebody says something that isn't true then swears to it is that still a lie ??

The problem is that none of the networks give the real "true" story, just their opinions.

Please stop parreting the news quotes in your comments here.

Fox is NOT fair and balanced. You can't balance the loud, stupid angry voices of few thousant tea-partiers against the millions who voted for Obama. By the way, the original tea party was to GET representation for the population, not get RID of it. Did any of the these people go to school? even 8th grade?

Proud member of the party of Yes We Can!

WELL SAID! LOL

Of course Fox News kept the Tea Party protests in their headlines for longer, they're a conservative-leaning news organization. Just like MSNBC is a liber-leaning news organization.

Just because Fox or MSNBC can't admit their political leaning for fear of losing viewers doesn't make it any more ovbious to me and to most of you: all the news organizations have *SOME* sort of lean towards one or another end of the political spectrum. Why do you think Fox covers anti-ACRON and the Tea Party while MSNBC has the most blatant gun-control articles?

There's no need to insult Fox News. If you don't like thier spin on things, come here to CNN for a slightly more balanced, if not more liberal opinion. If you need to go even more left, try MSNBC or even the Huffington press. These days, you might as well read "The Onion". There are lots of conservatives in America and they deserve their spin on the news just as liberals deserve theirs.

"Fair and accurate" reporting. NOT. It just proves a point that if you say something over and over again the uneducated and far right will believe it. Keep up the good work CNN.

The same people who watch fox news are the same people who listen to Rush Limbaugh nuff said

Rick claimed "I don't know about CNN's Tea Party coverage"

Then why are you posting here?

"... but they sure sat on the ACORN story until the last possible minute."

Oh, so you can change the subject. OK, so let's take you up on that. The "ACORN story" was a non-journalistic Fox sting. (Ever see Harry Reasoner or Ed Bradley dress up as pimps? No, and for good reason.)

And CNN, like other organizations, picked the story up on the same day as Fox aired it. The video was Fox property–how exactly do you propose Fox competitors get the story earlier...sneak into Fox HQ and steal it (a la Watergate)? Knock it off with the unreasonable/illogical accusations.

It is about time Fox is dealth with. I do not and will not waste my time about Fox News for I have washed the fools out of my mind and will not find anything good to say about them at all. You go CNN for fighting for yourselves aganist FOX News that so many people are trying to not support this channel at all.

If it was not for Fox News this administration and Congress would never be challenged. Their ratings speak for themselves.

David, don't be a retard. I read CNN.com everyday got sick of seeing all the different headlines related to the "teaparty" BS.

Why is CNN acting like this is something new, Fox Fix news has all ways been less then honest. They tell big major untruths, CNN never said anything because Fox news does not say anything negative about CNN, but now that Fix new drags CNN into the lie they want to go off, well CNN if you would call FOX fixed new on the carpet across the board they will not feel like the have license to lie ALL THE TIME! Welcome to the beat down CNN! It is about time you guys showed up and out! Way to go Rick get in there butt!

Hey REDSOX1 get your facts straight the judicial branch is still controlled by the right wing by a 5-4 margin. At least until one of the righties retires and Obama can put someone with some sense in there.

The comrade Obama did not give CNN (Communist Network News) permission.

Are you questioning the comrade?

CNN is so weak. FOX is loaded with great folks telling it like it really is. Stop being such limp wristed nasal whiny ass clowns and compete like you are about to lose your job. GEEZE....

How DARE the right-leaning people of this country have a news channel?! Ban them! Censor them! Ridicule them! Alinsky them! All hail Dear Leader's propaganda!

Who care what their ideology is? Fox is the only one doing the job of journalists right now: challenging the power elite of Teh Messiah.

Fox News not reporting the truth. whats the news in that? Its been going for years.

For the FOX viewers if they are not looking for something then they will not be able to find it. If they never switch the channel they have no idea what else is going on. As far as they are concerned CNN and the rest are not doing anything.

As for the stats on viewership, if FAUX News is the only outlet for the right wing nut jobs of course their numbers will be big. When everyone else has more options their numbers will be spread out.

Gotta tell ya.... I read CNN.com every single day. I am all for Obama's healthcare plan and I voted for him as well. But I did not see one story on the front page of CNN about this, actually had no idea about it until now.

You guys are mostly morans and are completely hypocritical. You're telling me that if 100,000+ people showed up in DC to support Obama it wouldnt have been the cover story on CNN??? It would have been, don't kid yourselves people. Both Fox and CNN are horrible, no journalism is fair and balanced. You people need to start thinking for yourselves instead of what these people tell you to. No wonder this generation is so lazy. Wow.

Everyday on CNN.com they are running some headline article that totally overplays black victimization by whites. CNN is absolutely OBSESSED with race. And FOX is right: CNN's coverage of the protest was minimal, and only in the context of "look at all those fringe racists."
CNN is destroying America. No wonder why FOX's Ratings are quadruple theirs every night of the week.

I'm glad CNN is standing up to the bullies at Fox News. How dare Fox run a biased news story or print ad. Good thing we have Moveon.org and MSNBC to guide us and tell us the unbiased truth. You'll never see them distorting the truth and running a disgraceful, self-serving advertising campaign. Wasn't it Fox News that also ran that General Betrayus advertisement....oh, wait....

CNN only showed it real quick because this story was not part of there Liberal agenda.

i knew cnn was covering it.... because every time i turned to CNN to catch obama rally i was seeing the tea bag party!!! but i eventually tuned back in to cnn to catch obama rally... fox is the worst and i feel sorry for all the viewers that watch the network,......they are rather a misinformed group.

CNN, you are real journalists. Instead of running off to cover the next phony controversy in order to avoid Faux News's next round of phony criticism, CALL OUT FAUX NEWS.

Call out that network's love for partisan, drumhead-like witch hunts, for accusing people publicly, for trying them by public opinion based on half-truths and insinuations, and for repeating all the nonsense until their targets are "convicted" by means of ruined reputations.

Call out their biases and their games.

Call out their failures as journalists.

Investigate Faux News. Take an hour in primetime to present the results, starting with that network's roll in the 2000 presidential election (remember its coverage of the Florida results?) and going right up to the present.

Fox new blatantly false, duh what did you expect? These are the people that brought you Obama is a muslim and wasn't born in the US.

Covered it? Fox pretty much created it - the other networks ought to call Fox out for ginning up "reality show" fake news event and then pretending it actually meant something to anyone except the lucky racists who got their signs on TV. The whole thing was a charade from start to finish.

What else is..........old?

Unfortunately, the people who watch Fox News don't seem to watch anything else and believe everything they say. Oh yes, they probably listen to Rush Limbaugh.

Talk about biased news – not your "liberal" media, for sure.

I wish cCNN defends eveything else FOX lies about, i am not sure what CNN is scared of when it comes to a real stories..you should be more aggressive about issues that is unfairly said by fox more...but over all CNN i am not hating keep up the good work:)

Pete...are you kidding Faux honest about their right wing leanings? Then why do they insist on calling themselves fair and balanced? Just more lies on top of other lies

I, personally, will not watch anything that Fox news sponsors. I turn
to another channel even when it is "local" news!!!! or their local
TV, station, which is Channel 2 in St. Louis.

I get upset when I accidently turn to anything FOX.

Rick in OP:

CNN did in fact post the ACORN story as it broke over a week ago.

What do you expect from Fox News? They are the least trustworthy network out there. The only thing dumber than Fox News are the people that watch it AND actually believe what they are watching is factual.

All fair and balanced over there at Fox? Can't even get their facts straight...

FOX shouldn't even be allowed to call itself a "news" channel. What about these hypocrites not covering either of President Obama's prime time addresses?

I learned about the protest from CNN. FoxNews just scares me.

Brad in Washington DC

AND you would "actually believe" ABC, NBC, CBS....and CNN......the "unbiased" Main Street Media?? Come on!! Perhaps, if they did cover it, it was the "twist" they put on it...as non meaningful, nonconsequential, and non important.

The only reason to watch FOX – 3 anchors sitting on a couch. One male on each side in a suit with a laptop in front of them. A brainless blond in the middle with a skirt above the knees – no laptop – cuz, duh, she doesn't know how to use it – and we couldn't see her legs.

I didn't see it on CNN (I check everyday). I didn't see the story about the boy who got beat up in MO on Monday this week or the ACORN thing here either (until long after Fox reported it). On the flip, sometimes I see things on CNN that aren't on Fox. Honestly, I try to read Fox and CNN to get the far left view and the far right view as the truth falls somewhere in the middle.

= Faux News Network.... Seriously only a moron would actually watch Faux News. Lies Lies Lies.

Fox news always lies. Just like all right wing jerks. THey hate minorities and are racial.

So now one news organization's criticisms of other news organizations is news itself? I guess Marshall McLuhan was right – the medium is the message.

Fox was bought by the Enquirer 10 years ago. Too bad the Tea Party wasn't Cool Aid instead.....

In the end even bad coverage is good coverage for Fox News.

I suspect that they are not concerned in the least about the error in the ad.

why not just make a commitment to ignore anything said about fox. they're not going to change and they obviously love stirring the pot with stupid stuff. when they don't get a response, they will go away.

If they don't watch it, how should they know?

I imagine you'd rather enjoy the ridiculous MSNBC?
Here's an idea, you don't like Fox? Don't watch! Real simple ain't it?! I don't like Olbermann and Maddow! I don't watch. You now want to determining what I should watch? How liberal of you!

Glad to see FNC's childish antics are finally catching up to them.

This is only one of many, many blatant misrepresentations and lies being perpetrated by the people over at Fox, and I hope we can continue to hold them accountable for it.

We can stop this...regardless of who does it. Programs calling themselves NEWS organizations should be accountable for reporting facts. We need to fine them, like we used to, for telling falsehoods. When certain Senators/Congressmen have been accused of homosexual scandals, Fox News puts a (D) in front of their name. I doubt this is error, knowing how they work, HOWEVER, they should be accountable and fined for this error. Fact checking is STILL IN! I'm a scientist and we insist on FACTS over BELIEFS! It damages the American people to be fed opinions under the guise of NEWS. Before we repealed the Fairness in Media Act, it was required. NOW, anything goes! We, the Citizens of this great country, need to insist that the 4th Branch of government works to tell the truth. A free press does NOT MEAN FREE TO LIE!

The orginal Tea Party was a group of routy men who disguise themselves and when out and destroyed other people property. Well, I guess this was a Limbaugh/Fox sponsered event

Fox news is pathetic, if your still watching that BS you really need your head checked, not to mention a class in history, english, science, jesus the list goes on. Even Religion if you want to go there. Fox sucks, plain and simple, only someone in the deep woods would still be listening to this BS for lack of better information. Get a computer, cell phone, god, get friends, get out. LOL. (my comment doesnt suggest that liberals have a clue either). Its the middle man as always that does the real work. Get a grip.

Do you expect the media to devote continuous coverage to a fringe event that drew about 70,000 people? Heck, the better gear up to cover the next Springsteen concert because I've seen bigger crowds there than at the 912 thing.

As usual, right-wing propagandists at Fox will lie openly and obviously and without remorse. Wake up America: You cannot believe a single alleged fact from movement conservatives without checking it against objective sources.

Quite frankly, I think the whole thing got WAY more coverage than it deserved. High levels of media coverage is like free advertisement for the cause. It can easily distort the public perception of the popularity and the legitimacy of the movement. The media needs to try harder to avoid sensationalizing the activities of small radical groups. And when they do cover them, I want to hear a good counterpoint interview. Not just a rubber-stamp of their ideas.

Left or right, I think it's the role of the media to challenge the philosophy of ANY movement. I want to see tougher interviews on both sides.

THey simply resort to this lazy & hateful, diparaging tacting just for money.THink about it any loser that cannot make it in the media doing the right thing ends up at fox news or talk show radio which allows them to spew hate and false propaganda to get rich. (eg, Glen Beck, Hannity etc.)
They know they will succeed there because they have a lazy audience that will listen to anything thing true or false as long as it gives them an advantage.

Oh MY GOD!!!!!!!!! This was aired so much by these two channels,
how could they say this? Anything to draw more publicity and talk
about the TEA PARTIES!!! This is a stunt, trick to get MORE publicity.

Don't believe it folks. Rotten Fox News is trying to keep the talk going.
because, I know, and CNN and MSNBC NEWS KNOWS, The viewers
know.

What, Fox you want to spread your venom more than you have.

Fox News is a creator of hate and I cannot believe that people can
watch. It makes me literally "sick to my stomach." to watch ONE
MINUTE of FoX News!!!! Totally dispicable.

Just another wxample of fixed news. Fox is full of underachievers.

Let's all turn on Fox tonight and see what they have to say in their defense. All I'm hearing from is CNN and everyone knows to discount MSNBC. They're afraid of going blind if they covered anything that had to do with down-to-earth Americans and their concerns. Remember, Fox broke ACORN when the other networks turned their backs on the story and now with egg on their face they'll want to get back to Fox with a vengence.

Everyone wishes republicans just go back under there rock. Change is here and they just cry. Obama in 2012.

Hey fox news we knew it was going on we just didn't care. Your contigent of knuckleheads kept spewing out their own crowd estimation numbers one of you idiots at Faux news said there was 2.5 million people what a joke no wonder any serious free thinker
does not buy into the tactics of such an unamerican news organization
With Fox News it's all about the hate for a black president and a Woman named Pelosi. Conservatives don't like strong Women and they don't like a black man working for them unless it is as their chaueffer or slave.

CNN bow to FOX NEWS! How about ACORN CNN??? Where's ACORN?? Your so in the tank for the Obama Admin it's funny. Thank god your ratings are horrible!! Hahahahahahaahh!!

Dick N baited: "If CNN had multiple people covering the Tea Party event…….. why wasn't it carried as a news item?"

It was. I read it on cnn.com that evening. Stop lying to protect Faux News.

ANOTHER POINT: This entire "event" was CREATED BY FAUX NEWS. It was organized in their back room and promoted by Glenn Beck et al. That is a FACT. Given this, why should other news organizations be required to cover what's essentially a Faux News publicity stunt?

I'm glad I do not watch Fox news: Lies, Lies and Lies, they preach hatred and Lies again! That's all they do, they good at it!!!
CNN please do not be like them, be fair, and DO YOUR JOB CORRECTLY. If you do that, People will alway watch you.

Almost everything FOX reports is inaccurate.....I'm glad the other networks grew a pair and held them responsible this time!!!

Oh puh-leeze... CNN covered it only enough to disparage it.

And further, CNN was completely MIA on Van Jones and ACORN. I'd like to say you guys were asleep at the switch, but that would imply you actually bothered to show up at the switch.

If CNN was around in the early 70's and Nixon had been a Dem, Watergate would never have been discovered and Nixon would have served out his term.

Fox "News" (propaganda)...imagine that. You LIE! The whole right-wing fringe has turned into whiners and liars, even with their ridiculous "leaders" that pander to such nonsense.

Fortunately, the truth is available at the click of a mouse in this day and age of communication.

Foxs News should be fined by the FCC for promoting racism. They report the news without facts. The hit job on ACORN will prove how they can manipulate the facts. The Media reported that the 4 boys from Hostra college was accuse of rape. The media has a knee jerk to get a scoop, but the story was not true. It will be the same with ACORN. "Innocent until proven guilty"

CNN got scooped by a 25 year old wearing a chinchilla coat. No wonder there are approx 47 people watching anymore. CNN is a shadow of what it used to be and is getting absolutely destroyed by Fox. The truth hurts.

Actually there not under fire for it. The biggest issue is CNN's refusal to cover the ACORN disaster.

Ahah! This is not an issue for CNN nor any other network. This is an issue for FAUX Noise and it's bigoted commentators. Faux News is a joke!!

The Rupert Murdoch sewer of hate ,prejudice, distortions , Fox news channel should cover its own vomit ,nobody else should have to cover this abomination..

CNN is so lost in their news efforts.... I used to be a true watcher, but there is no way I would now. CNN slams anyone who protests against Obama. Free country right? CNN should take themselves off the air and reevalaute their freedom and priviledges.

Why is anyone surprised at this? Neil Cavuto falsely claimed in his most self righteous indignant voice that FOX News covered the Million Man March in his attempt to support FOX News' support of the "spontaneous" tea bag parties. CAvuto obviously did not realize that FOX News was not even in existance when the march took place. But hey, when the IQ of your audience is low then you can say and do anything and they'll believe it. I turned off this WWF version of the news a long time ago.

...so all of your viewers, CNN, apparently replied to this topic. All the others are viewing Fox News.

hmmm. I saw the protest at Washington but it wasn't on CNN. They may have covered it and aired it later but when I saw it on FOX I ran the channels to see who else was carrying it ... saw it nowhere else. I will say that every news network is scripted. They say only what will bring in big bucks whether it's true or not. CNN, C-SPAN, ABC, NBC, CBS every last one of them is out for glory not truth. You'd get more truth out of the national enquirer than any news network these days.
The way I see it; all media needs to get a real job. Actually work for a living instead of ambulance chasing for a dollar.

One question: WHO CARES? CNN, the readers here don't care about this non-story. Whether or not you missed coverage on the 'tea party' rally is completely irrelevant. Instead of committing to your duty to report the news, you are turning this into a giant business scheme. Which news source are we going to go to for our future news-needs? I don't know...but me personally? I'm going to start looking for REAL news and turn off my TV and stop going to CNN and Fox and MSNBC as they seem more like advertising agencies than news sources.

Its time that news programs start being taken to task over the crap they keep pulling. Lying and trolling are bad. Whether its from the news or from regular people.

CNN not as much but all the other networks have not reported any anti Obama.. They are bed with the left and are now ashamed to get called out. Keep drinking the cool aide has the country follows the step of cuba...

Is Fox News still REQUIRED viewing on our military posts/ bases and ships at sea as it was during the Bush administration?

HAHAHA!!!! I could watch you libs all day!

Everyone knows Fox "News" is really just the "GOP Propaganda Channel."

Glenn Beck helped to organize this event, and Fox has been behind the bogus "Tea-bagger" movement all along. So much for "Fair and Balanced."

As a credible "news" source, Fox is a complete and utter JOKE.

Why should Fox's ads be any different than most of their political coverage. They lie all of the time trying to make conservatives sound good. The ad was no different than the right has been with health care. They lie to support themselves because if people know the truth they would stay from FOX and the right.

I think the lesson here is one we keep having to learn over and over again. If we yell "death panels," but then later apologize and say we were wrong, it doesn't matter – our goal has been accomplished. Right now, countless Americans have once again had their worst fears confirmed by our good friends at Fox, and nothing so trivial as actual fact will be heard over the ringing of that bell.

Fox News lies? Knock me over with a feather!

The only thing sadder is the people who take everything they spew as gospel.

I have a dream that one day a news station will be judge by the content of its character and not its ability to show the most colorful and controverisal. Saddly enough, it may take another 50 years for that dream to come true.

You dance with who you brought to the dance … right FAUX News?

Are we getting a bit defensive here? Where have you guys been when it comes to anything that even remotely looks like you'd have to take on the Dem Lefties?

Hopefully that lunatic Glenn Beck breaks a tear duct on this one.

it's just more fodder for the right-wing-nut-jobs that will use it to authenticate that only fox their voice is the only reliable source of news. my, my how some can delude themselves.

They should definitely be fined and sanctioned for their continuous lies.

I am amazed at how much Fox News doesn't cover and I feel sorry for people that only watch Fox. They don't know how much news they are missing and unfortunately get a distorted view of the worlld.

You were covering it? Where was the coverage hiding on this website? I didn't see ANYTHING about that rally on the CNN.com home page the entire day of the 12th, except for a brief article citing the White House press secretary saying he didn't know "who these people are". Coverage here was minimal, and down-played.

The better question is when will the mainstream media start calling out Fox News on their daily lies? This was not but one example. They start off in the morning with false, slanderous comments before they get to their shrill commentators in the evening. This network promotes fear, race baiting and a divisive America–and, I am a Republican who voted for McCain.

As the propaganda wing of the Republican Party, Fox News routinely tells half truths and out and out lies to support it's conservative agenda. The only difference here is that they published a lie that is about CNN and easy to prove with little or no work. How about a little more effort to debunk other Fox rhetoric?

FOX is not news, it is all comentary and should be taken as such.

I don't know about CNN's Tea Party coverage, but they sure sat on the ACORN story until the last possible minute.
CNN should not get too huffy, they have operating under the direction of Obama for almost two years. CNN is not known for their journalistic integrity.

Fox is right...considering the nature and intensity of the Tea Party protest your weak coverage could be considered missing the story.
STOP WHINING AND COMPETE!!

You're losing, CNN. Hahahahahaha.

Gee, and I thought Glenn Beck used to be on CNN?

What a shame, to ruin a perfectly good meme by insisting that it be true.

LOL @ AL-Jazeera of America (Fox News)... tooooo funny.

Where has truth gone? And now we are left with incompetent networks who have no skill in reporting the babble they consider to be news. We are also left with political and professional acromony, left with 'news commentators' who shout at each other, social or political conversations that have five or six people yelling at each other with nobody listening. Our brains have been dulled by an ongoing babble of nothingness.

If Fox News wasn't doing the serious harm it is doing to our nation, it would be a joke. It's one long infomercial for the right wing of the GOP.

All CNN did was accuse everyone there of being racist. That's how they covered it.

You CNN lover's need to be careful what you wish for. A government big enough to give you erything you need is also big enough to take it all away. You aree too paranoid about Fox, it is the only right leaning outlet. You lefties have ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Public TV ,Hollywood ,NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, control of the Executive, Legislative, Judicial branches of governmant, most of the State Houses, Legislatures and Judiciaries, 97% of all Universities AND Al Quaeda. And you're worried about Fox TV!

So much for "Fair and Balanced" news reporting.....

Honestly you guys should be admonished for the amount of coverage you gave to 60-70k people in DC. If you were to proportionally cover other demonstrations by the number of people you would have been covering the inauguration for a month.

Faux-means false. Not too surprising! And CNN we would have loved it if they were right for once! You don't need to cover that crap.

If, as they claim, CNN had multiple people covering the Tea Party event........ why wasn't it carried as a news item?

It follows everything else.... CNN (as well as the "other" cable news media) will only air a news piece IF it makes Obama look good.

Where was CNN on the Van Jones fiasco? How about the week and a half of on-going news over the ACORN?

It's no wonder that "other" cable news network ranks number one!

What more can one expect from FOX "Baghdad Bob" News? I also recall the anti Iraq war demonstrations, some much larger than the DC "Tea Party", which happened nationwide on an almost weekly basis for several months until about a month after the war started. These were ignored by all the major corporate media, CNN included, save the token appearance by the usual folk used by the corporate media to marginalizes these events, such as the ubiquitous "guy on stilts", or "tie-dyed Grateful Dead fan" or the "orange haired punk-rocker with the mohawk". Out of some 1000+ major interviews on the US media prior to the war, 996 were "pro war" and just 4 were against. Hows that for fair and balanced reporting... and CNN was as guilty as the rest.

I watched coverage about it on CNN and Fox. I think that Fox is just upset that CNN didn't cover it ad nauseum like Fox did? I hate to break it to Glen Beck, who is STILL realing over the fact that CNN didn't do wall to wall coverage that the majority of Americans didn't want to watch it. They just weren't interested in it. I know, I know..that must be such a hard pill for your overgrown ego to swallow – but those are just the facts. CNN covers the NEWS..they did cover the march, but there was other news going on that day that the American people wanted to hear as well. And in case Fox hasn't noticed, I will inform them that Obama's appearances regarding health care have garnered probably MORE people all together than were at your silly march.

Fox News is also apparently extremely upset that the ACORN story hasn't been covered on other news stations. Sorry Faux News...I've seen that story covered on CNN and MSNBC as well...it's just not 24/7. Is that the issue here?!

The other day, Beck called every new station besides Fox the "fringe media"....what is this cat smoking?!!!! Fox News needs to be charged a campaign fee because they are are merely a propaganda machine for the GOP..they aren't real news.

I watched parts of it on CNN. The paranoid teabagers kept referring to the CNN camera crew as "Communist News Network."

Nothing ever changes. American historian, Richard Hofstadter wrote about these same clowns in his 1964 Harper's Magazine article, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics."

Long before Glenn Beck Limbaugh, and "FOX News", there was Father Charles Coughlin, whose right-wing radio programs in the 1930s paved the way for the right-wing broadcasting of today. He was eventually disgraces for his open support of Hitler and Mussolini.

CNN and all of these other outlets do NOT accurately report the news just as Fox News doesn't. Most of you people hate Fox because your Democratic...just as Republicans hate CNN because it is Democratic. Shouldn't that tell you something? All of you are a disaster to the country (republicans and democrats) please stop voting.

"CNN misses the boat on everything not Obama. Now they have taken up the cause of getting health care passed with their typical left leaning scare tactics." : Please explain what this statement has to do with the story? What's the problem? Are you a FOX Newser and you don't like the sound of the truth so you scrape up some nonsensical tangent comment to divert everyone's attention?

ABC, NBC, MSNBC and CBS did not....further CNN and the others have not adequately covered the ACORN scandal.....

FOX once again proves that they don't believe in reporting the truth, they belive in creating, and disseminating THEIR truth.

This question is, why SHOULD other media outlets cover a Fox network organized and promoted event? Why aren't other networks asking how or why a large media outlet like FOX is sponsoring these events? Those events were not news, they were manufactured events, paid for and organized by the Republican Party and given free 24-hour promotion by FOX. Now, that's the story everyone has failed to cover. Do you jobs, for once.

Fox is upset because only they are on the same page as the tea party (Republican) cult.....Most people have meaningful things to do, like supporting the president, his agenda and the country.....

As usual FOX News lies.

FOXNews is Conservative and CNN is Liberal. At least Fox News is honest about it.

Many of us know that Fox News channel is made up of a bunch of crazy, blatant, and flagrant pathological liars and we have been claiming this for years, but no one believes it – until now. These insane people, who claim that 1.7 million people showed up in D.C on Saturday (yeah, right), when the D.C. Fire Dept. says 75,000 at the most. But why listen to D.C. Fire Dept. Glenn Beck knows the t-r-u-t-h. The man needs to be committed to an insane asylum – and he will be one of these days. And Rush Limbaugh, though he is not on the Fox Noise Channel, repeats the lie too. Both are rabble-rousing racist maniacs – whose followers are as brainwashed and crazy as they are. Furthermore, why isn't Rush reporting on the incident at Cracker Barrel in Georgia, where a white guy beats up a black woman trying to protect her 7-year-old daughter from getting knocked over by the pig, but Limppig reports about a minor fight on a school bus and claims the entire school transportation system in this country needs to be revamped to keep the races segregated? Any word from Limppig on the George incident. No, I didn't think so!!

wow...CNN...only posting "pro-CNN" comments....??? Did you forget about the pompus, sarcastic attitude of your "on-sight," reporters at the tea parties? What about all the tea parties before that? You're turning so Obama, that you've lost all credibility, and it shows in the ratings! By the way, Fox News shows were #1 again...for over the last year now, huh? For all you liberals that think Fox misrepresents, try doing some independent research for yourself, instead of being a drooling obamabot....

"Fox News can't get the facts straight EVEN in one of their ads. A real good indication of a bad news provider."

At least Fox News didn't report that shots were being fired over the Potomoc. Nice work last week CNN. You always know how to panic the nation unnecessarily! How bad is it when the White House even slams CNN?

Just as you felt frustration for the Fox ad is how many Americans feel. CNN is not reporting fairly. Most of the comments were from people like Nancy Pelosi berating us. I'm an average American that truly does believe the average person is not being heard and that CNN is picking and choosing their stories all in favor of Obama supporters. Equal and fair journalisim, what happened to it?

And you'r suprised at this coming from the network that brought you "Temptation Island"?

oh come on guys.... please don't get mad at Fox News.... Al-Jazeera of America, I mean Fox News are not bad people, they are just ignorant. One can't get mad at ignorance.... it's a trait that nature injects in humans to spice things up in life

What a shocker! NOT!

LMAO!!!!

FOX is a joke.

They are complaining that no REAL NEWS network show this joke of a protest 24/7 like they did .....................

Good for you for pushing back. Now that you know how to quickly dispel a Fox falsehood by doing some digging and then clearly and unequivocally reporting it as false, you should apply the same method to Fox falsehoods aimed at targets other than your own corporation.

After all the pro-Obama propaganda CNN has spewed since the campaign began, I'm surprised they did cover the tea party last weekend. After all, neither ABC, NBC nor CBS offered any coverage.

With close to 100,000 marching on DC, it deserved major coverage.

The name calling in these comments alone go a long way in showing what kind of people our "president" represents

Fox "news" and Rupert Murdoch are SLEAZE....

We all know what Fox does and they lie. Glen Beck is worse than O'Riley. Glen needs to be put in the same light as Rush Limbaugh (A Nothing But Hot Air). I can't believe I used to watch Beck, but I would never listen to a word he says anymore.

You know looking at most of these comments i am shocked that CNN doesnlt have more viewers latest ratings:
Live + Same Day Cable News Daily Ratings for September 16, 2009

P2+ Total Day
FNC – 1,548,000 viewers
CNN – 563,000 viewers
MSNBC –421,000 viewers
CNBC – 212,000 viewers
HLN – 336,000 viewers

P2+ Prime Time
FNC – 3,290,000viewers
CNN— 950,000 viewers
MSNBC –986,000 viewers
CNBC – a scratch w/117,000 viewers
HLN – 646,000viewers

It looks liek FOX owns CNN doesn;t it???

When did CNN cover it? I guess they mentiones it in a couple of ten second sound bites.

So Fox News has officially abdicated its claim at reporting news and has now moved toward inflaming the fringe? Here's a news flash to NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC & CBS: Fox ran this ad not because they believe you didn't cover the event. They ran this ad to further their contention that they are the last bulwark against Obamaism.

Yeah and all your coverage CNN was your pundit commentators slamming protesters and insinuating they are all on the GOP payroll. Fair reporting my butt CNN!

How can anyone claim that Fox News is objective? They are a joke! The other networks might also be biased, but at least CNN has a decent balance of commentators from both sides.

Why are you being so namby pamby with these Fox jerks?! Nail 'em as
the ouitright liars they are!

I'm surprised it takes Fox on the offensive to draw fire from CNN and others. Fox is not a news source; it's propoganda targeted at people who are fearful and can't weigh competing sides against one another to have an opinion of their own.

That's because fix news are BIG FAT PHONIES and liers

Of course they can get away with it....the idiots who watch FOX are infamously uneducated and take everything they see at face value without ever questioning anything.

Whether it was explicitly stated or not, the coverage given to this event was so much less than it would have been had this been a liberal or lord help us, OBAMA event.

Whether or not reporters were dispatched, the time or ink allocated to this important event was no where near to that given to something like the "million" man march...

CNN
Middle class is disappearing this true CNN Lou Dobbs fighting for long time

If we want know best political news we have to tune to situation room

If we have to watch good debate we have tune to Campbell Brown at the same time FOX and MSNBC screaming each other (8pm Et)

Do you want to watch best interview watch Larry King

Do you want to know the truth watch AC 360

Do you want to know what is going the world watch GPS on Sunday

Any time do you want watch Breaking news CNN news room is there for us

News media covering the truth watch Reliable sources on Sunday

Do you want to know the forecast of politics watch State of the union

CNN telecast the whole Rush Limbaugh speech but he was thanking to FOX

Only one independent media is CNN

Fair and Balance is CNN

I love to watch CNN 24 x 7

CNN ignore those you don’t need to explain

I commend CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC for not falling for the same FOX propaganda this time and only giving the protest last week as much coverage they deserve without the hysteria and hype.

If you all had done the same 7 years ago we just might not have been in Iraq. Thanks for recognizing Fox News for what it is.

Actually CNN is biased and they cannot blame Fox News. You need to come to the center rather than praising the Messiah.

Oh yeah, Foxnews is a joke, thats why their ratings are more than all the other "news" organizations combined. So here is CNN whining about what Foxnews is saying. these comments make me laugh, Fox is a propaganda tool for the GOP? Whats CNN and MSNBC? The government should shut down Foxnews! CNN probably screens these comments only putting the ones who are pro-CNN. Face it CNN, the people have found out your agenda so your badly slippipng in the ratings.

I just love the comment "It is about democracy against socialism." from Red by nature.

News flash America isn't a democracy it is a plutocracy. Look it up.

Fox news tells a lie. And in other breaking news, grass is green.

What do you expect from Faux news? These guys never get the story right. Always full of lies and distortions. Faux is really tabloid entertainment rather than serious journalism.

What else is new at FIX News? We come to expect bias reporting and reckless commentators like Beck and his ilk at this cable outlet. Where are the grown-ups at Fix News?

It appears the more Fox can lie about it will. Does this network have no honor. Oh yeah, its not about truth telling its about how many lies they can come up with about everyone else but themselves!!

Why are you all so excited? Does your ideology demand you respond to cable news networks' bickering...?

Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, no more, no less.

Even as a Republican... Foxnews makes my ears hurt.

I can't wait to see what Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow have to say about this tonight! And by the way, CNN ... your counter-programming to MSNBC during these time blocks ... not worth the time ... Campbell Brown is a twit and Larry King is a on-air version of the tacky tabloids.

anybody that even watches Flux news at this point has to be a moron.

Why do you watch a news channel that spreads lies and distorts the truth? Because they're telling you what you want to hear, no matter how untruthful? Is this really the America you want? News based on lies? That's China or North Korea folks. Is that what you want?

Regulation can't come soon enough – and that's why we need government – to look out for crap like this.

Fox News (fake news) is good for laughs. It is just like the National Enquirer. especially with that guy Hannity!

If we just ignore FOX, will they go away???

So CNN thought this specific lie from Faux News was worth responding to since their network was mentioned? What about the flood of other lies from Faux? THEY should be responded to daily.

More Fox Noise

Cnn.com did NOT cover the Tea Party at all, and–truthfully-neither did Fox. Almost 2,000,000 showed up to protest (one of the largest protests since Vietnam War) and no major news organization made it a front page headline. Pathetic and shameful. The msn is garbage, and the American people are truly beginning to wise up to this fact and are going elsewhere for their news. Good riddance.

Fox News wrong and spreading myths? NO WAY I WOULD NEVER BELIEVE SUCH A THING! /sarcasm

this is not unique to FOX. do your homework .

cnn, admit it, your more left wing than fix is right wing. eat the story

Is there one person not from Mars that honestly believes that Fox News can be "fair and balanced" when it comes to reporting political news?

This Sunday President Obama will visit ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision and other networks to discuss health care reform. The WH declined Fox as one stop because Fox news has proven itself to be nothing but a right wing propaganda tool.

@R, good point. If they wanted to keep the TEA party nincompoops in the news for another day, they succeeded, if only for a passing mention. However, that mention is coupled with the further truth that Fox News is an oxymoron in and of itself.

Congrats, Fox. Your self-marginalization continues unabated.

Awright! Now we can argue that FNN is unfair and unbalanced. Hannity and his gang of gorillas are goin to have to pay for their gasconades about themselves that make us gag.

What do you expect? It's Fox. You know their slogan: "We report. We decide."

Well, I knew there was something wrong with Fox. Now they just helped prove their true nature and apparently still living in the Bush/Cheney era or using fear and false tactics.

I like FOX..............FAIR AND BALANCED........

the other outlets teabag Obama!

Faux News taking things out of context in order to make a person, an organization or a country seem more insidious than they are is nothing new. It one of our country's open secrets that Faux News doesn't know the difference between investigative journalism and spinning half-truths in endless loops to manufacture "truth."

ACORN and the "czars" in the Obama administration are just their most recent targets.

I'm not sure which surprises me more: 1) that CNN and MSNBC are covering the phony controversies surrounding ACORN and the "czars" in the Obama administration (apparently caving to Faux New's phony criticisms); or, 2) that Faux News has flat out lied about coverage on CNN and MSNBC (falsely accusing CNN and MSNBC of not covering so-called real news in order to get CNN and MSNBC to cover phony controversies).

Either way, Faux News is getting what it wants: CNN and MSNBC in fact ARE now covering the phony controversies surrounding ACORN and the "czars" in the Obama administration, manufactured at Faux News, and so ARE apparently caving to Faux New's phony criticisms.

Faux News achieves its ends with ads like these. It's sad.

CNN, you are real journalists. Instead of running off to cover the next phony whatever in order to avoid Faux News's phony criticism, CALL OUT FAUX NEWS.

Call out that network's love for partisan, drumhead-like witch hunts, for accusing people publicly, for trying them by public opinion based on half-truths and insinuations, and for repeating all the nonsense until their targets are "convicted" by means of ruined reputations.

Call out their biases and their games.

Call out their failures as journalists.

CNN, CBS, MSNBC have biten the hook. Now you are giving more air to Fox's special interests. Since when Fox news has provided true, fair and balance news. Stop wasting your time and do us a favor by stopping reading Fox News' garbage.

A little sensitve there CNN? You roll out Rolin Martin/Carville/Begalla and yet you sincerely believe you're coverage is balanced ... delusional

Fox News stating innacurate or blatantly false information intentionally? Shocking. Faux News is a complete joke.

I faithfully follow CNN online everyday. However, for some reason, I missed any mention of it. Not to say they didn't show anything, I just didn't see it. In fact I didn't know about the event until I read the report about CNN refuting claims that they didn't mention it.

What else would anyone expect from the propaganda network, Aka, Faux propaganda news.

I don't want to hear it...

I marched with over two MILLION people in NYC in the Winter time against the Iraq war. This was in Febuary 2002. Yet no one covered this.

Its funny that Fox News and the tea people are all against "big government" when it comes to health care, but when it comes to illegal war they are all for it. Show where their priorities are.

Who really cares? the PUBLIC knows that CNN is a LEFT leaning if not overtly LIBERAL mouth piece. Fox is trying to balance the scales and WE THE PEOPLE of the U.S have taken notice. look at the ratings FOX is killing you.

This is Journalism 101! Before you make a claim, check, double check, and triple check to make sure your claim is accurate. This would mean they would actually have to watch some other station.

Nobody that watches FOX News will ever read this, because CNN is the "Communist News Network" to them. But the criticism of FOX News is well-deserved, I consider their reporting to be "all lies, all the time".

Fox news is worse than an infomercial. At least infomercials are deceptive by what they leave out. Fox news just blatantly makes stuff up. If they sold an actual product they would have been hit with a class action lawsuit many times over.

Just more of the same for Fox News....making false statements is what they do best! Thank you for fair and balanced reporting CNN!

Does that surprise us? Not at all. It only reflects the lack of integrity this so called news chanel has. It goes hand in hand with the unethical tactics of the Re-Public-Klan party...opps im sorry...I meant to say that.

Is this another attempt by the right to put more the other networks on the defensive so they will cover this hateful, insiteful demonstrations??????????Please don't let them do that.

But with their ad they are now getting all sorts of attention. It recreates the story as many times as the other news organizations have to defend themselves.

1. tell a news story - fixed costs of reporters, materials etc
2. place an ad claiming no one else covered the story thus appealing to their base - cost = lost opportunity to charge for ad time.
3. make your competitors refer to you, discuss the story again, and try to disprove bad publicity - priceless.

From a marketing standpoint that couldnt pay enough to get you guys to respond.

Fox usually presents lies as "news". That is what Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly do all day.

FOX Noise is a liar! CNN and MSNBC aired that KKK march on TV. It was so disgusting to watch that I turned the channel.

So I guess Fox "News" has resorted to false advertising instead of their usual false (read spin) reporting.

Fox News & Rupert Murdoch's creed: Never let the truth get in the way of our agenda".

Should we be surprised that Fox lies?
