The #occupywallstreet Interview Fox News Will Never Air (Video)

For the last week, Fox News has made a point of intentionally making the Occupy Wall Street protesters appear to be a bunch of disorganized, incoherent hippies.  Bill O'Reilly's production crew has gone out of their way to make the thousands of protesters in the streets of New York City to look like morons.  With a mix of careful editing, and a process of selecting the perfect drug addicted performance artist to interview, they have posted a nightly montage of what appears to be the endless stream of uneducated burnouts standing up against capitalism, without rhyme or reason.

Fox News was in Liberty Square again today, interviewing for Greta van Susteren's show.  As you'll see, the interviewer is giving the protester the opportunity to "put any message you want out there, to give you fair coverage".  This is what he said:



Yeah.  That will never see the light of day on Fox News.

Fox News Does The Impossible - Double Headdesk In 12 Hours

There are times when, as a network, Fox News creates more newsworthy stories themselves than the politicians they cover.  A study came out in December of 2010, showing that, out of all cable news networks, their viewers were the most "misinformed".  And by the looks of things, the network is doing nothing but encouraging it.  Between the hours of 8pm EST Monday and 8am EST Tuesday, they completed the unheard of Double Headdesk.  For those of you that don't know what a headdesk is, let me give you a visual example:

On Monday night, Fox News gathered a focus group of Republican voters in Iowa to discuss their thoughts on Bill O'Reilly's interview with the President the day before.  At one point in the discussion, a woman in the focus group says that she believes that the President's "religious beliefs govern his foreign policy".  When asked on what she feels his religious beliefs are, she says "Muslim".  Watch how the commentator responds:

The Fox News representative never stepped in and said, "He's Christian".  He never tried to correct them.  He aided in spreading what has amounted to a conspiracy theory on national television.  Headdesk.

Then this morning, Fox News put an online poll on their website concerning abortion.  The poll has since been taken off the site, but I was able to get a copy of it from another blog:

What's wrong with this poll?  If I select not sure, I'm pro-life.  If I select yes, I'm pro-life.  And, if I select no, I am still pro-life.  There are absolutely no pro-choice options on a poll about banning abortion.    You might as well just have one question on the poll.  Headdesk.

I wanted to add this additional video.  It's not a headdesk moment, because it should have been expected.  During O'Reilly's interview with Mr. Obama, he interrupted the President 48 times.  48 times!  Sure, you come to expect this when you are watching his show on Fox News and he has an invited guest, but this is the President of the United States.  How disrespectful.  Talk about an asshole.

Looks like Fox News is having one hell of a February.
