Fox News Channel ads taunting rival networks draws return fire; CNN's Sanchez: `you lie'
By LYNN ELBER , Associated Press


LOS ANGELES - Fox News Channel's competitors fired back Friday at the network over ads in three major newspapers claiming Fox alone covered last weekend's protest in Washington, D.C.

"How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?" was the headline on the full-page ads that ran Friday. The headline is superimposed over photos of the rally that drew tens of thousands of anti-tax demonstrators and Obama administration opponents.

Fox's taunt drew immediate reaction from the other networks, all of whom quickly offered up descriptions, transcripts of news reports and video proof of their rally coverage. Some denounced Fox for falsehoods.

CNN anchor Rick Sanchez put it even more bluntly in a heated, lengthy air-on retort that CNN, which competes directly with fellow cable channel Fox, showed repeatedly. Sanchez aired clips of CNN's coverage from last Saturday, including interviews with protesters and a wide shot of the massive rally that looked like one featured in the Fox ad — a shot Sanchez said was aired repeatedly by CNN.

"Let me address the Fox News Network now perhaps the most current way that I can, by quoting somebody who recently used a very pithy phrase, two words," Sanchez told viewers. "It's all I need: You lie."

Fox took out the ad in The Washington Post and in the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, two papers owned by Fox's parent company.

The network has taken a pugnacious approach before in its promotional efforts, but this latest move is unusually provocative even for Fox.

Fox defended its ads in an e-mailed statement from a marketing executive that called other networks on the carpet again for their coverage of the rally and events preceding it.

"Generally speaking, 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," said Michael Tammero, vice president of marketing for Fox News.

The fair and balanced network gets owned

Your thread only points out more glaringly how much the Media is in bed with the Soros/Obama regime. It is glaring that all the other networks who by the way are the oldest and largest networks actively suppressed the truth.

the only people who care about these issues are those who don't like oabama.

[spursncowboys]

The MSM did not cover the first tea party. CNN did one piece on it and it was the ladie attacking to protester. Days later they called it Fox's tea party and tea baggers.

[spursncowboys]

Are you serious?
It is not something I care about. But precedent is that we know everything about the health of our president. Also he said he quit. Once again it is not something I care about, but it should have made the news at some point.

:lmao

[Shastafarian]

It is not something I care about.You cared about it enough to mention it.

But precedent is that we know everything about the health of our president.So you were in agreement that we should be able to see the medical records for McCain?

Also he said he quit.So?

Once again it is not something I care about, but it should have made the news at some point.It's not news.

[spursncowboys]

You cared about it enough to mention it. Ugh yeah, it went with the idea that there are news not covered by MSM.

So you were in agreement that we should be able to see the medical records for McCain? Did McCain get elected?

So?...He lied...

It's not news.
Why not? because you say?

[spursncowboys]

:lmao
:vomit:

[Shastafarian]

Ugh yeah, it went with the idea that there are news not covered by MSM.Only it's not news.

Did McCain get elected?No but when there was that possibility were you for or against him releasing his medical records?

...He lied...Or he fell off the wagon


Why not? because you say?Because it's not. Do you also think Paris Hilton getting banged by a member (or several) of some country's royal family is also news?

[spursncowboys]

Only it's not news. that's subjective

No but when there was that possibility were you for or against him releasing his medical records? for, but I didn't like McCain.

Or he fell off the wagon Well that's news too.


Because it's not. Do you also think Paris Hilton getting banged by a member (or several) of some country's royal family is also news?:depressed

[Shastafarian]

that's subjectiveI guess. But only republicans seem to care about another person's personal habits.


for, but I didn't like McCain.You were for it because you didn't like him? Would you rather he be leading the country right now?


Well that's news too.You and I have a very different concept of what "news" is.


:depressed
It relates to the health of the person of importance. No one can get within 5 feet of Paris Hilton's nether-regions without contracting some sort of disease.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

It is not something I care about. But precedent is that we know everything about the health of our president. Also he said he quit. Once again it is not something I care about, but it should have made the news at some point.

so you don't care about it... but you think everybody else should?

You're a clown. Seriously, who the hell do you think you're fooling? :lol

[spursncowboys]

I guess. But only republicans seem to care about another person's personal habits.There are alot of people who care nothing about politics that want to know Obama's health.


You were for it because you didn't like him? Would you rather he be leading the country right now? I didn't vote for McCain. I did not realize how left Obama was going. I knew he was a liberal. Nothing like this.

You and I have a very different concept of what "news" is. Yes.

So you think that the only thing that is news are stories that you personally want to know? :rolleyesYou both need to get over yourselves. Stop looking for gotcha's.

So you think that the only thing that is news are stories that you personally want to know? Um no. That's why obama still smoking isn't news. See if you can figure out what I mean by that. If you can't lemme know and I'll explain it.

[spursncowboys]

Um no. That's why obama still smoking isn't news. See if you can figure out what I mean by that. If you can't lemme know and I'll explain it. Why can't you just explain something. You are constantly writing vaguely, never wanting to explain yourself. :lol

Rick Sanchez is an attention whore and very desperate. He has to bash FOX News in order for CNN to get attention and viewers. He also comes off as an arrogant cocky bastard in my opinion. He's has this attitude of "hey, look at me, I can speak English and Spanish so I'm better and smarter than you".

It has a little to do with being able to speak English and Spanish. The only reason he bashed Fox News is because they bashed his network. If they can dish the heat, they can take it.

The only reason you're complaining about the situation is because you're a partisan sack of shit.

This is what's known as 'goalpost' shifting. Prove one thing, and the argument shifts. Thanks for the example Spurs.

[jman3000]

If the other networks didn't cover the 9/12 rallies, which it appears they somewhat did, just without the vigor and top to bottom coverage that Fox did, I wouldn't blame them as it was an event that was basically sponsored, promoted, and organized by Fox in the first place.

[boutons_deux]

9/12 was Becktard whining match, not a real news event, like the Town Mauls were as authentic as Astroturf.

spursncowboys is pissed at someone making a music video telling him what to do.

I keep wondering, what is the reading comprehension of a liberal?

The title for the ad is buried in thousands of other links. Information overload. Anyone have a link to the ad that's being complained about?

I believe this is another typical example of spinning the truth to where it is no longer recognizable. I doubt Fox claimed there was no coverage by others. I think it was the same as some quotes I could find:

"Generally speaking, 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," said Michael Tammero, vice president of marketing for Fox News.

Everything I heard or read from other media outlets was marginalized or misrepresented. I don't see how anyone with an ounce of intelligence can deny that. I doubt I'm wrong. Can someone show me a report that is accurate and not marginalized?

Fox's add said the other organizations ignored or did not cover the events. They did and Fox got called on it. Funny how Fox hasn't responded to the criticsm although their lemmings ,such as yourself, are to blinded to even realize they were caught lying.




The Washington Post false ad that Fox News bought and presented for the Post's readers stated that they "covered all the news" and that "ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN" all missed the story of the Washington Tea Party last Saturday. But they didn't. They all covered it.

[Wild Cobra]

Where's the rest of the ad?

The second half of the page has a picture of the tea baggers in Washington and a large Fox News logo on the bottom of the page.. can't find a full view of it. If your really interersted in seeing it (I know you're not) it is on CNN video..

The funniest thing about this add is that they used CNN's shot of the capitol.

PATHETIC.

[Wild Cobra]

If you cannot find the whole ad, how do you know the reports against it are accurate?

http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/105636/original.jpg

The question if that's all there is to the ad is what is the story? It doesn't say nobody else reported it. It says the "missed the story." That they did. They erroneously reported the story as much as they could.

You liberals make it sound as if Fox said no one else reported the event. Where do they say that?

Words have meaning people.

So let's get this straight oh wise connoisseur of Webster's. You're saying that the phrase " How did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN miss this story" (with a photo captured by CNN of all things) doesn't mean, they did not report on it?

Webster's definition of miss
transitive verb
1 : to fail to hit, reach, or contact <miss the target>
2 : to discover or feel the absence of
3 : to fail to obtain
4 : escape, avoid <just missed hitting the other car>
5 : to leave out : omit
6 : to fail to comprehend, sense, or experience <missed the point of the speech>
7 : to fail to perform or attend <had to miss school for a week>

I see your point. Obviously, it means that they perhaps could have "failed to", "avoided", "left out" the story. That is quite different from not reporting on it.

By WC's standards of explicit terms you'd think he'd also argue on the behalf of Clinton when he said " I never had sexual relations". Only thing is he wouldn't because he's a hypocritical son of a bitch. All of us are hypocritical at some point, but some of us do it with the unapologetic passion that warrants the utmost criticism.

How did they know that all of the protesters were their for those reasons? Kind of a leap for a news agency to assign the reason why the protesters marched. A real news organization wouldn't have put those phrases out there but I guess since Fox promoted the get together it's not surprising.


So now I guess it's ok for a news organization to assign motives for the stories they report. That's what you are saying to us WC..

He defends anything promoted or superficial to the right, no matter how ridiculous (racists to birthers to Faux). Then on top of all of it he claims to be Libertarian and/or conservative philosphy while stomping all over their main arguments. It's both insulting and funny to anyone who has some brainpower.
