1. My folks have lived in WI for 25+ years. In all that time, I don't recall seeing one palm tree. |
|
That must be southern Madison.

Well, we don't have any on the east side. I'll give my friends a call and see if they have any. They're in the south.
...
Nope. Not a one.

He has rushed back from his vacation to handle the crisis in Springfield. His statement is interrupted by a drum player walking through the Mayor's Office.

13. Doesn't FOX claim there is no such thing? |
|
Nah - I think FOX counts on an audience so brainwashed that they will now firmly believe that Madison has palm trees.

That is the best part, really. As they complain about the "Fox Lies" signs, they show bogus footage of "violent protesters" supposedly in Madison WI - in the winter yet!!!
I saw palm trees in Milwaukee once, indoors, though, in the domes horticultural park.

I've never seen someone whose head is smaller than their neck before. It's surreal.

14. That report shows all the horrors of cable views. Two clueless individuals, |
|
one in a strange collar, is it 1811, in an orgy of self promotion. No facts, no research, canned footage from ? desperately trying to convince a bunch of droolers that they are worth the inordinate sum they are paid. It is all about THEM.
I saw a report on ALJ on the 6th of April Youth Movement where I never saw the reporters face that I can remember. During the height of the Egyptian Protests she had embedded herself with the 6th of April and reported on what the movement was about, how they had been organizing for three years, how they used the new technology to counter the Mubarak regime, facts, facts, facts, facts.
ALJ was in Tahrir Sq with facts, facts, facts.
Cable views persons descended on Tahrir Sq and the next thing you knew, the reports were all about THEM. No facts.
Pathetic. Just Pathetic.

Almost as interesting as the location of the Fox reporter in that segment. He was inside the capitol...
Who let him in when so many protestors were barred?

24. That was the first time I've ever seen Fox footage |
|
Unless you count the Anonymous report with the random shots of the exploding van - was that Fox national or a local affiliate? Can't remember.
Anyway - OMG!
Less than 9 seconds in, and all my instincts screamed "Propaganda!" How can people not see it? Seriously? I mean, they're not even trying. It's blunt force propaganda. They must think that their audience has less cognitive ability than the average four year old.
Sad thing is - they're right.
