Today some friends and I were talking about how Fox News was in the business of making news, not reporting it — when it came to promoting the ridiculous pseudo-tax protests called "tea parties."
I say pseudo, because the sparsely attended tea parties clearly were much more Obama-bashing events than anti-tax efforts. After all, Obama has reduced taxes for 95% of working Americans, not raised them.
The mammoth effort to promote the protests also took place online. At its newly-revealed "community" website, FOX Nation, Fox News held "virtual" tax day tea protests, linked readers to organizing sites, and otherwise appeared as if its sole purpose was to generate support for the events.
It's amazing, really, that a supposedly "fair and balanced" (what a joke!) news organization would devote itself so wholeheartedly to producing a political event, then report what happened as if Fox News was a detached observer rather than a promoter and organizer.
Hopefully this will solidify the organization's reputation as "Faux" news, not to be taken seriously.

Fox News was not at the tea party I attended in CA. Fox News did not make thousands of people show up at the tea parties across the nation. Stop looking for excuses for something you simply don’t want to admit is really happening. There are many many people in this country–republican, democrat, independent–concerned about big government and taxes going sky high. You should be concerned too, unless you want to pay ridiculous taxes and lose some of your freedoms.
