FoxNews acknowledged 100,000 protesters in D.C. today
Just now on FoxN "Big Story" program. She quoted one of the organizing groups. But I'm shocked that they mentioned that over 100k was declared.

:wow:

Now she's saying tens of thousands showed up. I guess she "got the PM".

6. Yet "liberal" CNN said tens of thousands of protestors
I guess O'Reilly will frame this as mass traitor/Secular Progressive rally hoping that the US loses, and turn the country over to crazed "IslamoFascists" who will force women to the middle ages while promoting stem cell research, and non traditional heterosexual marriages and that beer must be less filling and not taste great.:popcorn:

8. She had that Gallagher radio guy on a bit ago
He focused on Jane Fonda, Hanoi Jane and such. But Julie, the Fox announcer, asked him if it was okay for the stars to work to raise so much money for the 9/11 families but it's not okay for them to voice anti-war sentiments. All he could say was that it was the same people doing it. *yawn*.

Then she also asked him if maybe the "stars" were reflecting the thoughts of the nation at this point. I have to wonder if Fox is getting an earful from their viewers these days voicing opinions against the war. Probably so given her take on the program today.

7. That is quite
impressive for Fox News. In fact, I'm surprised they even acknowledged the protest at all!

And Mike, I'm sure you're right about O'Reilly - although I don't intend to watch him directly to find out. I much prefer the Colbert filter. ;)

9. Actually, Fox Probably Got it Right
I was thinking about 100,000 myself as I was leaving.  At any
rate it was larger than the Sep. '05 rally.

Imagine 100,000 boosting the enemy's morale! :sarcasm:
