Fox News has been making a lot of hay about one of their reporters allegedly being "punched" by a protester in Madison, Wisconsin.Turns out, that didn't happen.
He was jealous of the attention Anderson Cooper, Lara Logan and fellow Fox reporter Greg Palkot got when they were roughed up by Mubarak henchmen and thought it might put his career on the fast track while simultaneously painting the pro-union crowds as thugs.
Mike Tobin, reporting from amid the massive demonstration on Friday, claimed that one of the protesters "punched" him in the arm. In another broadcast, he claimed a man threatened to break his neck.[...]
Last week the hosts of the network's morning show literally flipped the results of a Gallup poll showing strong support for unions, relaying it to their viewers as the opposite.
[...]
Tobin's allegation that he was assaulted might have slipped past without rebuttal were it not for a camera-equipped bystander, who captured the scene.
[...]
Fox News reporters have been repeatedly shouted down by union protesters, many of whom simply chant "Fox News lies!" every time the network's cameras set up for a live shot.
And it just pisses Fox off. So they lie some more.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
