Fox news discusses "violent protests" in Wisconsin. Shows clip of people on the verge of a fistfight. Palm trees in the background. Had no idea there were palm trees in Wisconsin. Let's take this viral folks.

1. I saw a post right here on DU by someone who

was there and said it was Sacramento, California. I cannot remember the poster's name. I wonder if there is other footage or pictures to verify it. It certainly wasn't Wisconsin and shame on any news venue who didn't fact check first exactly where this came from.

10. Yeah, I saw this headline here yesterday and heard about it on the radio this morning.

15. Fact checking is not the problem

FOX News lies. They do it all the time. They are far more interested in pushing their far right wing agenda then reporting any kind of truth.

:shrug:

Next you'll be saying something crazy like they used the wrong pictures for Glenn Beck's late-August rally last year. Well, that's definitely how DC looks in August.

8. No palm trees in my neighborhood.... Lot's of pine trees....

[girl gone mad]

11. Looks like footage from a neo-nazi rally..

and a teabagger thrown in at the end.

12. I am not sure I see palm trees but one thing for sure there are

no leaves on the trees in Wisconsin this time of year.

13. It's Funny How Some Folks Still Try To Cover Billo's Ass

by saying they were just talking about union thugs in general, and not just the one in Wisconsin. But from the video below, they WERE in fact talking just about Wisconsin and the reporter is right there in Madison whining about how the protesters aren't letting him lie to the audience in peace.
