1. My folks have lived in WI for 25+ years. In all that time, I don't recall seeing one palm tree.

That must be southern Madison.

[Shiver]

5. Hmmm...

Well, we don't have any on the east side. I'll give my friends a call and see if they have any. They're in the south.

...


Nope. Not a one.

[PatrynXX]

7. not sure .. too close to little switzerland...

Shouldn't I be seeing grass on the houses?? So what planet is Faux on??

[rpannier]

8. Cue... Mayor Quimby

He has rushed back from his vacation to handle the crisis in Springfield.
His statement is interrupted by a drum player walking through the Mayor's Office.

2. (facepalm) D'OH

x(

[Dappleganger]

3. That's to escape the long arms of those union thugs, of course!

Reporting from FL is sheer genius, lol!

[alfredo]

4. Damned global warming!

[Karia]

13. Doesn't FOX claim there is no such thing?

Nah - I think FOX counts on an audience so brainwashed that they will now firmly believe that Madison has palm trees.

[alfredo]

25. Fux can say that gravity is leftwing conspiracy to make

women's breast sag, and Issa will launch an investigation, Beck would cry, and O'Really will say that things go up, then down and nobody knows why.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Pretty funny since they are slamming folks for chanting "FOX lies"

:rofl:

[Karia]

9. Oh the irony...

That is the best part, really. As they complain about the "Fox Lies" signs, they show bogus footage of "violent protesters" supposedly in Madison WI - in the winter yet!!!

I saw palm trees in Milwaukee once, indoors, though, in the domes horticultural park.

[pa28]

26. ^^Yeah that^^

[gristy]

10. shakes head....

Amazing.

[KittyWampus]

11. the Youtube comments are great. Mike Tobin blinks a lot.

[csziggy]

15. His collar size is bigger than his hat size!

I've never seen someone whose head is smaller than their neck before. It's surreal.

[gkhouston]

21. It's a rare medical condition known as Pinocchio Neck. n/t

[KittyWampus]

12. Please recommend this so it gets more attention.

[tsuki]

14. That report shows all the horrors of cable views. Two clueless individuals,

one in a strange collar, is it 1811, in an orgy of self promotion. No facts, no research, canned footage from ? desperately trying to convince a bunch of droolers that they are worth the inordinate sum they are paid. It is all about THEM.

I saw a report on ALJ on the 6th of April Youth Movement where I never saw the reporters face that I can remember. During the height of the Egyptian Protests she had embedded herself with the 6th of April and reported on what the movement was about, how they had been organizing for three years, how they used the new technology to counter the Mubarak regime, facts, facts, facts, facts.

ALJ was in Tahrir Sq with facts, facts, facts.

Cable views persons descended on Tahrir Sq and the next thing you knew, the reports were all about THEM. No facts.

Pathetic. Just Pathetic.

[blogslut]

16. Interesting edits at the end there

Almost as interesting as the location of the Fox reporter in that segment. He was inside the capitol...

Who let him in when so many protestors were barred?

[Karia]

19. at least one Democratic assemblywoman was barred too!

As were firefighters. Fox on the other hand...

[mmonk]

17. Transplants

[RandySF]

18. I've seen plenty of pine trees is Wisconsin

But I never saw a palm tree.

[hedgehog]

20. O'Reilly is suggesting that a union protest might be organized?

and that's a bad thing because?

[gkhouston]

22. Just saw a tweet from a protester, suggesting folks should bring inflatable palm trees tomorrow.

:rofl:

[Critters2]

23. :D

:rofl:

[MedleyMisty]

24. That was the first time I've ever seen Fox footage

Unless you count the Anonymous report with the random shots of the exploding van - was that Fox national or a local affiliate? Can't remember.

Anyway - OMG!

Less than 9 seconds in, and all my instincts screamed "Propaganda!" How can people not see it? Seriously? I mean, they're not even trying. It's blunt force propaganda. They must think that their audience has less cognitive ability than the average four year old.

Sad thing is - they're right.

[Contrary1]

27. Bwahahahaha! "Professionally made signs"

That translates to all words being spelled correctly, with proper punctuation.

Not to be confused with:

[donheld]

28. Palm trees in Madison and yet they deny global warming.

:crazy:

[Matariki]

29. And right after the reporter complains the crowd was shouting "Fox News LIES" no less.
