But, apparently, that&#8217;s because we were relying on actual news reports and evidence and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the interest of fairness and balance, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s <i>actually<\/i> going on in Wisconsin, according to Fox &#8220;News&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"400\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2UbctMzA8G8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>We are hoping that Fox &#8220;News&#8221; &#8220;reporter&#8221; Mike Tobin survives the dangerous conditions under which he&#8217;s been working. Covering the mobs in Cairo was <i>nothing<\/i> compared to the dangers faced by Fox in Madison!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in our never-ending quest for fairness and balance, we should probably also point out that the man who &#8220;punched&#8221; Tobin, as discussed in the video above, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2011\/03\/01\/fox-news-reporter-appears-to-have-lied-about-being-punched-by-protester\/\">didn&#8217;t actually punch him at all<\/a>. But we only know that because a <i>liberal<\/i> non-Fox camera happened to be rolling, so that camera should not be trusted. Neither should <i>liberal<\/i> Eric Boehlert of the <i>liberal<\/i>, George Soros-funded propaganda outlet Media Matters. He <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/blog\/201103020029\">highlighted more evidence<\/a> this week attempting to suggest seemingly phony WI reporting by Fox &#8220;News.&#8221; Obviously, his actual, independently-verifiable evidence is probably of the <i>liberal<\/i> nature as well, so feel free to ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, WI&#8217;s Republican state Sen. Glenn Grothman, as seen in the video above being overrun by the &#8220;dare I say, violent&#8221; and &#8220;angry mob&#8221; chanting &#8220;Shame! Shame! Shame!&#8221; was shouted down after he appeared on television referring to all of the protesters as &#8220;slobs.&#8221; That appearance by Grothman, however, was on the <i>liberal<\/i> MSNBC, so, ya know. (Later, he would <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/2011\/03\/03\/fox-video-state-senator\/\">go on to admit<\/a> that &#8220;there were many friendly people in that crowd&#8221; and &#8220;courteous people there&#8221; and that he never &#8220;felt threatened,&#8221; but, again, ya know.)<\/p>\n<p>For the record, as Bill O&#8217;Reilly is only too happy to remind us nearly every day, any mitigating information out there which suggests Fox&#8217;s reporting is less than truthful or accurate should be ignored because they remain the <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/2011\/03\/03\/fox-video-state-senator\/\">most popular cable &#8220;news&#8221; channel in the nation<\/a>. Therefore, what Fox &#8220;News&#8221; reports is truthful and accurate. If it wasn&#8217;t, they wouldn&#8217;t be so popular, now would they?
