Well, Murdoch is a businessman, he saw a wide-open opportunity and exploited it. Cant really blame him. I'd love to have done the same thing. To own and reap the benefits of Roger Ailes's insight? You bet.

You've failed to respond in the past when I have provided what you asked for in various threads. I do not intend to continue wasting time on you and your request for more info since you ignore the info once given to you.

Well, can you point out the protests organized by ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN then?

If you truly want to make your point, you'll have to come up with some examples of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC running active protest campaigns against the Bush administration. Show me where they organized and promoted Tea Parties or any other kind of large scale public protest to the Bush agenda.

Fox has very openly orchestrated the Tea Parties and 9-12 demonstrations.
How did Fox orchestrate these Tea Parties and 9-12 demonstrations?

Fox COVERED the tea parties, a huge protest that had its beginnings WHILE BUSH WAS IN OFFICE. Once it grew large enough, Fox covered it. The other networks PURPOSELY IGNORED IT, although they had full coverage crews out anytime 50 people gathered together with signs to protest Bush.

But go ahead and stick your head back in the sand, I don't expect you to see what is blatantly obvious.

Agreed

I want to know how COVERING an event becomes ORCHESTRATING an event. How did Fox supposedly "orchestrate" the tea parties and protests?
