Ah, the "it's not true because nobody watches him" defense.

Interesting...

It doesn't matter how many people watch CNN. Fox News lied. Even if everyone in the world watched Fox News and no one watched CNN, it doesn't change the fact that Fox News got caught in yet another lie.

Unfortunately it won't matter to those who are perpetually duped by Ailes & his crew of puppet masters.

I'm not saying FOX didn't lie. You misunderstand me.

What I'm saying is that it's the last thing Rick Sanchez needs to be worried about! We got ACORN corruption floating around the White House. We have a communist and other radicals advising the Prez!

And CNN is doing no investigation into the Obama administration......they don't even care! California farm land is dried up by our govmnt.....and where is CNN??

So screw Sanchez.....until he and CNN, ABC , CBS and NBC want to be journalists again, I could care less.

My analysis is that CNN and company have such crappy ratings, that the have to cover the big boys on the block for them to appear relevant.

It was simply laziness on the part of Fox News, if they did not check their facts before assuming the other channels were not covering the 9/12 rally.

However, from the small amount of video clips I saw from CNN, it looked like they ran short 15 second news clips of the event. I remember back to the Cindy Sheehan protests against Bush, when CNN was 24/7 Sheehan, so by comparison, CNN all but ignored the 9/12 rally. I would not be surprised if CNN spent more time covering the Kanye West story at the MVA then they did on the 9/12 rally on the 12th.

CNN had to cover Fox, because the top stories last weekend about the 9/12 rally, ACORN corruption and the firing of Van Jones, all which reflect poorly on 0bama, so its no wonder they spend time talking about Fox News.

How'd you'd get that? No one said you said Fox didn't lie, we just wondered why you ignored that part of the story?

Here's the problem: A "news" network that is willing to lie like that in an ad about other networks is the problem. If they lie that easily about something millions and millions of people know is untrue because they watched the coverage Fox claims didn't exist, how can you trust them not to lie about something that isn't so easily verified? This is about a news network that paid lots of money to run an ad that is a lie. That speaks to their truthfulness and reliability and you just ignore it.

I swear, you people like to duped. You seem to take pride in being misinformed.

BUT YOU CAN'T NAME ONE THING ON THE VAN jONES STORY THAT WASN'T TRUE.

You strain at a gnat to swallow a camel.

All of these huge stories.....the radical Czars.....ACORN prostitution scandals.....California farmland dried up......and all you have is FOX hurting CNN's feelings.

No...I don't ignore it. But it's really not a story of note. It's about a competitor. And at least they get it right more than they get it wrong.

Now Rick.....get on the White House and look into these Czars!!


Don't YOU want to know why ACORN is getting federal money and the Prez is cool with them???

You'd be wrong. How can you not understand that some people are really outraged by the audacity of the lies told by Fox.

Are you serious???? All the networks are constantly monitoring what the other networks are showing. They watch each other all the time.

You have to be kidding. Do you expect that Sanchez would show all of CNN's coverage of the event in his less-than seven minute clip? Do you not get that there was a lot of coverage all through the event and the next day on all the Sunday morning shows? Did you not hear him say they had four reporters and two remote units there? I assure you CNN, like MSNBC, had a lot of live coverage and a lot of in studio discussion starting before the event and last throughout the day.
