On Friday, Media Matters...Fox becomes the scandal <br /><br />On Friday, Media Matters released a video showing a Fox News producer stage-managing a 9/12 protest crowd. <br /><br />The video -- which shows a producer waving her arms in the air, encouraging a crowd of 9/12 protesters to make noise for a live shot -- provides some of the clearest evidence yet of Fox's central role in manufacturing anti-Obama dissent.<br /><br />The video isn't really a surprise: anyone whose watched coverage of protests can see that Fox is sympathetic to the protesters, but this video offered a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of Fox actually fueling the fire of the very same crowds they claim to be covering.<br /><br />By any sort of journalistic standards, the producer's behavior was unethical in the extreme, yet Fox has refused to fire her. To mitigate any potential damage from the tape's release, Fox did claim that the producer had been "disciplined" -- but she still has a job.<br /><br />The fact that Fox is willing to keep the producer on their payroll shows that they don't really care that she tried to stoke up the crowd -- what they care about is that she was caught. That, in turn, reinforces what everybody should already know: Fox News has no journalistic integrity of which to speak.<br /><br />www.mediamatters.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-76241632803673758052009-09-21T11:20:58.514-07:002009-09-21T11:20:58.514-07:00Obama didn't know ACORN received federal fundi...Obama didn't know ACORN received federal funding?
