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.”

“Fox News is not real news and you’re not a reporter.”

This is the cue to the reporter to go ahead and vigorously report everything bad, evil, and corrupt about this hack, since it is not real news, it won’t make a difference right.

To them, we are inferior but also must do their work...in their minds, we are the Morlocks (see “The Time Machine”).

I’ve seen several video taped encounters with SF gubmint types lately and they are, to a man, the most arrogant, dismissive, deranged A-holes I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable chutzpah.

” I’m always willing to talk to them to advance the narrative of a story.”

And he is blithe to fact he gave himself away completely.

“Clearly they don’t have mandatory drug testing. “

Of course they do.

If you aren’t on drugs, you get kicked off the board.

All of SF’s political class is only a few degrees separated from Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, even now.

We are fast-moving from pushing liberal propaganda, to full-fledged media pogrom, folks.

Good points. Perhaps that’s what the murdered girl’s brother was hinting at when he said that Trump should have gotten in touch with the family? He wants to sue, and could use a good bankroll....

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

I've noticed FOX News is the go to response to explain away not just this administrations but liberalisms failures
