More evidence that Fox News is really Faux News, or even Fake News. Much as CNN's ad states, Fox News is "distorting, not reporting." Media Matters has uncovered footage that shows a Fox News producer exhorting a crowd to scream and yell during a "report" by Fox News' Griff Jenkins at the 9/12 protest.As Media Matters said:
We would expect that type of behavior from a producer of, say, a daytime talk show with a live studio audience like Oprah or Maury or Jerry, but from a cable news producer? Really?It's true; if you have to egg on people to do something, it's not news. Reminds me somewhat of how they tell you to "applaud" when Jay Leno or David Letterman comes onstage. Media Matters also coined a new phrase. While I like CNN's "Distorting, not reporting," I also like Media Matters' "Fair & Balanced? More like Fake & Staged."
Watch the fakery:
Watch the "report:"
