CNN Reliable Sources - 20 Sept. 2009: Host Howard Kurtz had his own "two cents" in response to Fox News' newspaper ad claiming that CNN "missed" the story of the 9/12 Tea Party in Washington.

Kurtz then showed video of a Fox News producer "whipping up the crowd" behind Griff Jenkins at a tea party rally.

"What you just saw amounts to choreographing a story to get people hollering," Kurtz said, adding that the producer was "disciplined... who made a mistake." "That's for sure," Kurtz responded.

3. lol..she didn't know

that she wasn't supposed to encourage the crowd before the FOX *stars# came out? Theater is all FOX does, and the harmful kind! The kind that is sold to fools as the truth...

9. well, a producer who got her job on her knees would do something like that

4. Keep in mind that his is Faux.

In their bizzarro take on reality, the Producer was probably "disciplined" with a raise and/or promotion. I would ask the question: Does Faux really care about the truth at all, but that's like asking if a shark feels remorse after eating a seal.

5. I would expect nothing less of Faux. no, wait........

....I DO expect something less of Faux. They continually raise the standards on "lows". :rofl:

She got caught on camera. That's her "mistake" by FN standards.
