Fox News reporter confronts S.F. supervisors, they dismiss him
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | July 15, 2015 | By Amy Graff

Posted on 07/15/2015 1:57:02 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Fox News television host Bill O’Reilly sent an anonymous reporter to San Francisco on Tuesday to approach local politicians about the tragic murder of Kathryn Steinle at Pier 14. A segment on last night’s “O’Reilly Factor” shows two supervisors immediately brushing off the television network, while one delivered a terse response.

Fox approached Supervisor Wiener at City Hall saying,” I don’t want to be a pest it’s just literally a minute…”

Wiener quickly cut off the interviewer saying, “Fox News is not real news and you’re not a reporter.”

Wiener told SFGate that “tea party” members are flooding him with messages criticizing him for dismissing the media. “Anyone in San Francisco knows that’s not who I am,” Wiener told SFGate. “Even local journalists who I disagree with know that I’m accessible. I’m always willing to talk to them to advance the narrative of a story. But I’m not going to talk to Fox because their goal is not to get the facts right. They’re using this terrible tragedy to fuel immigration policy. They’re a propaganda machine and I’m not going to be a part of that.”

When confronted with a perfectly legitimate question, a liberals natural response is a pathetic straw man. Mr. Weiner is named appropriately.

I would love to see the return of the practice of public tarring, feathering, and carrying out of town on a rail.

One of these things is not like the other....

Clearly they don't have mandatory drug testing.

Fox News is the most truthful of the propaganda media. If this guy was to listen to alternative media his head would explode. FullSpectrumDominance, CaravanToMidnight, InfoWars, VoltaireNet.org, TrueNews, GregPalast, MadCowProductions, Servando Gonzalez, Sharyl Atkinson, Wallid Shoebat, etc — these are some of the people that are really getting the news out, and it’s nothing like the MSM portrays is as.

We live in two different countries anyway. Why can’t these people just go their way and let us have a place of our own? I’d settle for one state.

Rove cannot even pronounce “Washington” correctly. I don’t know what is more annoying about Karl Rove, the sight of his fat face or the way he says “Warshington.” Oh, and he is also wrong most of the time. Fox news, give Rove the hook and get him off of the stage.

The Truth just kills these little weasels. Not surprised he’d cowardly run away. Look at his bio, same o, same o: East Coaster, private schools, SHJ, homosexual, ugly skinny sissyboy.

I believe the SF Board of Supervisors are legal sitting ducks, and that they know it. All that is needed is a good lawyer and a class action lawsuit. They have conspired to violate Federal immigration law. That part isn’t even debatable. Further, their (in)actions have resulted in numerous crimes including homicide, directly attributable to their criminal conspiracy. In a sane world it would be a slam-dunk.

They probably have some kind of immunity from prosecution for actions undertaken as part of their official duties.

I don’t think Greg Palast or InfoWars belong on a list of purported truth tellers.
