The following video report, as seen live on Fox “News” yesterday, demonstrates that the far-right “news” channel has no clue what the words “raucous”, “out of control” or “freedom of speech” actually mean, as “reporter” Griff Jenkins is seen taunting DNC Convention demonstrators, only to receive chants of “Fuck Fox News”, live on air, in the bargain…<\/p>\n

The video also demonstrates (again) that, to Fox, “far left” is anybody who doesn’t cow-tow to Fox’s fringe kook extremist Republicanist agenda. That is, unless wanting to keep U.S. troops in Iraq forever, and launching yet a third war with Iran is the mainstream American view, and only “leftists” are against such things.<\/p>\n

We’ll be in Denver later today, and we’ll try to look for Jenkins to find out if he wishes to explain his performance. If not, clearly it’ll be because he “doesn’t believe in freedom of speech”.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/em> The following longer clip (hat-tip BRAD BLOG commenter “Floridiot”<\/a><\/i>) shot by a citizen “off air”, shows that this place could be a tinder-box with Fox, apparently, more than willing to light the match if needed. With temperatures set to reach 90 degrees later today in Denver, we’ll hope things stay cool and Fox thinks better of their strategy of taunting peaceful demonstrators…<\/p>\n
