The fair and balanced network gets ownedFox 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 compe ors 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.

they covered the story
"What story?"
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.
they reported the story which I guess blows your argument up..

Are you serious?
the only people who care about these issues are those who don't like oabama.
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.
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.
You cared about it enough to mention it.
So you were in agreement that we should be able to see the medical records for McCain?But precedent is that we know everything about the health of our president.
So?Also he said he quit.
It's not news.Once again it is not something I care about, but it should have made the news at some point.
Ugh yeah, it went with the idea that there are news not covered by MSM.
Did McCain get elected?So you were in agreement that we should be able to see the medical records for McCain?
...He lied...So?
Why not? because you say?It's not news.
Only it's not news.
No but when there was that possibility were you for or against him releasing his medical records?Did McCain get elected?
Or he fell off the wagon...He lied...
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?Why not? because you say?
that's subjective
for, but I didn't like McCain.No but when there was that possibility were you for or against him releasing his medical records?
Well that's news too.Or he fell off the wagon
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?
I guess. But only republicans seem to care about another person's personal habits.
You were for it because you didn't like him? Would you rather he be leading the country right now?for, but I didn't like McCain.
You and I have a very different concept of what "news" is.Well that's news too.
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.
so you don't care about it... but you think everybody else should?
You're a clown. Seriously, who the do you think you're fooling?
There are alot of people who care nothing about politics that want to know Obama's health.
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 were for it because you didn't like him? Would you rather he be leading the country right now?
Yes.You and I have a very different concept of what "news" is.
The only thing worse than celebrity news is celebrities telling me how to live.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.
