A provocative full-page newspaper ad from Fox News drew heated reactions from its rivals today and one demand that The Washington Post apologize for running it.

Over photos of protesters gathering for an "anti-tax" rally in Washington last Saturday, the ad asked: "How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?"

Michael Tammero, Fox News's vice president of marketing, said in a statement, "it's fair to say that from the tea party movement . . . to ACORN . . . to the march on 9/12, the networks either ignored the story, marginalized it or misrepresented the significance of it altogether."

They can't handle the truth.

If I am not mistaken, these other stations had a close up shot of a citizen carrying an assualt rifle and a pistol in open view, just miles away and a few hours before the President was to arrive somewhere else.

They also carefully cropped the pictures you could not see that the person who was exercising his 2 ammendments right was black - but mentioned the fear of a white activist shooting a black president - because everyone just knows that to oppose Obama is to be a racist.

I guess Kurtz’ position arguably is correct. It all depends on the meaning of “covered”. In Kurtz’ mind, the fact that the MSM coverage was very limited and misleading doesn’t mean they didn’t “cover” the story.

Funny how the State Run Media responds immediately to Fox’s ad but virtually ignored or dismissed the stories about the town halls, DC protests, and Acorn....

These days it doesn’t take much to touch a leftist nerve. The truth hurts. And what’s with this mania for demanding apologies everytime someone says something the left doesn’t like—most especially when the comment is the truth.

Uh oh, I think I answered my own question. It’s that pesky thing called truth. Sometimes it just doesn’t know its place.

Fox is in the drivers seat- us “Teabaggers” are now turning the anger towards the criminal liberal media- Fox is playing to it’s base, no different from the ratings laggards at CNN/See BS/NBC/etc....the only difference is Fox allows dissenting points so view- the criminal liberal media now refers to dissent as racism....

hey charlie gibson- have you heard about acorn yet???

Hey, socialist crybabies, it is called free speech. Try reading the First Amendment sometime and taking it to heart as you bash anti-obama conservatives with "racist" and other insulting (and incorrect) labels.

In fact, try reading at least the Bill of Rights, if not the entire Constitution.

The funny thing is, The Washington Post sold Fox the ad. That is the Washington Post that is so desperate for ad revenue they run three “wedding supplements” a year, and all kinds of other advertising stuff everyone throws away without even opening, include sections full of nothing but falsehoods and spin. Please. Howard, these ads are paying your salary.
