Ed Rendell: Fox marshalling anger
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday said that Fox News has been more effective than the tea party movement at building anger among the conservative grassroots.
During an interview on “Fox & Friends,” the Democratic governor asserted that the tea party movement has been successful because “the mainstream media, the media all over the country, has given them too much credit.”
“They're really sort of following the anger rather than creating the movement,” he said.
Challenged by hosts Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy over the claim, Rendell directed his criticism directly at Fox News.
“You guys deserve more credit for marshalling that anger than the tea partiers do,” he said. “I’m being serious. And I think it’s your right to do so.”
Carlson then interrupted to insist that “we're just showing both sides of the story.”

Fox is not making me angry...assholes like Rendell are.
I agree. It is the stupidity of people like Ed Rendell who make me angry.
Yeah, FOX. What the heck are you guys doing reporting the TRUTH!! Don’t you know how damaging that is to the left.
Is this Ed Rendell just another black politician that hates whitey? Shoosh, is there any black dems that actually like white folks?
AS a tea party participant, I tell you that the movement is much about principle and resolve, and little about “anger” and NOTHING about violence or terror.
Rendell is just following the template he was told to follow.
So, according to Rendell, we should just sit back and allow the political left run roughshod over us? Fat chance!!
Ed is racially Caucasian ...
I stepped in Ed Rendell once- I didn’t try to wipe my shoe off, I threw it away.
Oy vey. The only way Fox arouses anger is when they happen to report the facts instead of the usual media spin. When people know what the government is really doing (especially the current administration), they get angry.
If he’s gonna propagate such nonsense like that on FOX News, he should be banned for life. That would save all these limp-wristed anchors that FOX News hires the time and trouble of having to challenge the nonsense spewing from his mouth.
Hey Ed you’re an old, white, male. According to identity politics, you are the oppressor, so shut up and sit down.
If Fast Eddie is upset then we’re right on target.
I cannot wait until this jackass is NO longer our governor! What a complete idiot he is!
Ed is racially Caucasian ...
although you’d never guess because his face varies in tone from bright red to pale purple...perhaps the least healthy looking man I’ve ever seen in person.
Ed is an old-timey RAT machine political crook, of the Murtha school of open corruption.
If the MSM was all I could watch, I wouldn’t own a television.
Fox just shows Rendell in his raw form. For decades the MSM covered for you Dems. Now, the light of truth shines. Oh, well, Ed.
