Thousands of demonstrators formed a human chain around the White House on Sunday in protest to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport Canadian tar sands crude to Gulf Coast refineries. Protesters highlighted environmental concerns related to the risk of oil spills and groundwater contamination along the pipeline route and expressed frustration with the "clout of oil company interests in Washington."

CNN, MSNBC, and several major newspapers covered the Keystone XL protest -- the largest in a series of demonstrations that have sparked a national debate over the pipeline.

Yet after relentlessly promoting Tea Party protests last year, Fox News has not even reported on Sunday's protest.
