      Cavuto, the problem is not that you are covering these events. You can pretend that you are being criticized for covering the events. Reality is you're being criticized for aggressively promoting these events. You didn't aggressively promote the Million Man March or the anti-War protests. In fact, you derided anti-war protestors, and you are putting these tea party events up on pedestals.

      Covering vs promoting. Understand? Of course you do, but you can't admit that in public, I know.

        Yes, exactly. It's not about covering these events at all. It's about PROMOTING these events, in other words, you're not just reporting. You're taking an active part in them, and telling others who are watching your network that you should take part in these, and here's how!

        That's the problem. You're not reporting and letting us decide. You're shamelessly promoting this crap.

      Neil, why don't you go back to haunting houses, as you did in your previous incarnation as Eddie Munster?

      I have no problem with what Fox Noise is doing.  However, their business should now be classified as a Political organisation for Tax purposes etc.  I would imagine there are all sorts of other Federal implications to being classified that way.

      I think the folks over at News Hounds has a different recollection of FNC coverage of The Million Man March.  FNC Was not in existence during The Million Man March!

        Yep. Fox News came out in 1996. The Million Man March was 1995.
