They're Fox News; lying is what they do.
THANK YOU.

Fox has been in the Battle with MSNBC And CNN and ABC And....
It is nice to see CNN fight back once in a LONG while.. They ALL need to Gang up and start pointing out the TRUTH ABOUT FOX...
Fox Distorts and is Free to do what they do.. but we all are free to call it what it is LOUDLY.CRAP!!. FAUX IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH
They got so used to lying that they thought not even a full page ad in three major newspapers would be noticed, not even by those they lied about.
Pure, unadulterated HUBRIS.
they play to their gullible, undereducated, misguided, naive, etc. audience! and in order for them 2 keep these people coming back 4 more day after day they have to be doing something right! (not right as in morally but right as in executing a "excellent" game plan and getting their desired result!-an ill informed audience)
we know how fox works:
[*] constant claim of "liberal media bias"
[*] make up a story then ask "why isn't the mainstream media covering...?
[*] repeating obvious lies numerous times to "make it fact"
[*] etc.
BUT
fox does report actual (factual) news during the day. BUT when they do that they r making the audience think they r a "credible" source for news. AND this gives them "cover" to mislead and inject opinion on political issues!
-a perfect example of this is the 9am-11am show with meghyn kelly! and the 11am-1pm show that follows. study it!!!
this angers me because its blatantly obvious that fox does use this "formula"! and as much as i hate to say it, i feel like msnbc and cnn should sort use that example and make it into their own! not saying they should "lie" but stop being political about every damn thing. hence msnbc's "the place for politics"!
i said all this to say that CNN played right into fox's hand! they knew that calling out one or all of these networks would result in at least one of them rebutting fox by playing clips for the 9/12 march over and over again for a couple of days or more!
don't get it mistaken, i love wat rick sanchez did today in calling them out! that was classic! it was commendable and it shouldn't end there! and because he did a hell of a job, it was enough! the point was made then and there!
but i guess campbell didn't think so! lol!
First they print an add to slander other news stations and make it seem like they are the only news station that matters. And... they get away with it.
Meanwhile, CNN and other stations will rebuke what is said by continually airing clips of the protest which is exactly what Fox wants. All the while supporters of Fox lies aren't even witnessing this rebuttal because they don't watch CNN to begin with and the TEA Party protest now gets even more air time thereby attempting to legitimize the protest.
very sneaky
CNN: Yes we did! And we do care about these people's point of view! As a matter of fact, We're going to cover more right-wing events than YOU!

Fox knows exactly what they are doing with this ad. It's schoolyard bully tactics. If you want some other kid to eat a worm you tell them that they WON'T eat a worm. You tell them that they are too SCARED to eat the worm and then watch them eat it of their own volition. I really hope I'm wrong about this, but that's the way I'm seeing it.
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN et. al. would be nuts not to take advantage of the great big opening FOX has foolishly given them.
