How would Faux "news" have handled Rosa Parks?
This guy is probably correct!

O’Reilly: “Rosa Parks claims she speaks for all of the African-Americans in the South, but in fact, we have found two African-Americans who say they disagree with her. They say she’s just trying to gain publicity and doesn’t speak for anyone in her race. They would know, they’re black.”

Hannity: “Could Rosa Parks be angling for a Senate run? What does she have to gain from her public stand? Coming up next, the incredible story of how this woman might be deceiving the whole country!”

Drudge: “We have found three members of the Parks family who say that Rosa doesn’t speak for them. That, in fact, they are very happy with the government of the state of Alabama. The uncle, step-brother-in-law and niece three-times removed all agree that the better route is a dignified, respectful silent deference to authority. Developing …”

1. Crawl reads: "Traffic advisory in Montgomery, Ala.: Bus service delayed"
and that'd be about it.

There is no way faux would have respected Rosa Parks. No way. Look how they're treating the mother of a fallen American soldier.

Unbelievable.

8. That's exactly what they would be reporting, and the rest of the
media would start with the same crap because no one would consider asking Ms. Parks for her side.

5. Like this I imagine:
Fox 'reporter': Rosa Parks today fueled fears of terrorism on a bus by refusing to take her seat. Nervous patrons called loved ones and the police as they sat in fear at her refusal to be seated appropriately.

Cut to photo of bombed out bus: "invoking fears of bus bombings in Britan and Israel a passenger, Rosa Parks, entered a bus today and refused to sit in her assigned space. Police raided the bus" cut to image of her being led off in cuffs by FBI "and whisked her away to gitmo. Passengers, many sobbing and shaking, expressed outrage that drivers are not allowed to carry weapons"

'Reporter': The threat level has been raised for transportation systems.

10. Parks is being used by the radical left like Martin Luther King, Jr.
and, like them, is shamelessly looking for publicity

12. "Rosa Parks doesn't want buses to have back seats"....
"If it were up to Rosa Parks, buses would only have one seat per bus. Hey, Rosa, newsflash - it's called 'mass transit' for a reason."

That would be according to Sean Hannity while Alan Colmes sat silently in the background doodling.

I am saddened to say that I do not consider myself to be joking and actually believe this would be the case!!

13. Why Does Rosa Parks Hate America?
If it weren't for our welfare society, she wouldn't have the luxury of sitting on a bus all day while the rest of us are out in the real world working to pay for her and the other liberal socialist deadbeats. Coming up next, why it's OK to burn crosses but not flags.
