Fox News Helps Organizes Anti-Spending/Tax Protest On April 15th

[Median Democrat]

It is amazing that Fox News can even say they are "fair and balanced" with a straight face with this stunt where Fox anchors spread throughout the country at organized anti-Obama rallies mirroring Santelli's rant. Of course, GE decided to back-off when it became apparent that they may themselves need federal help, then barred MSNBC from commenting on it.

Now, for all the Republican complaints about the "liberal" media, I don't recall any news network actively supporting any protests against Bush policies. Indeed, major network affiliates censored news references to war dead.

Rick Santelli and CNBC may be keeping their distance from the tax day tea party movement Santelli inadvertently spawned in an on-air rant, but Fox News seems to be throwing everything it's got behind protests planned for April 15.

Fox anchors Sean Hannity and Neil Cavuto boarded the bandwagon first by signing on with tax day tea parties in Atlanta and Sacramento. Now Glenn Beck will be broadcasting from the Alamo in Texas and Greta Van Susteren will party in Washington, D.C., amounting to hours and hours of rotating live coverage of the anti-tax, anti-spending events.
