Protesters took 90 minutes out of their busy day yesterday to protest Fox News. Present at the “Shut-Up-a-Thon” were nimrods from “United for Peace and Justice, an umbrella organization for hundreds of anti-Iraq war groups” and “Code Pink, a group comprised mostly of?women.” Also, “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals even sent as its representative a walking root vegetable named Chris P. Carrot.”
The report delicately mentions that “[d]emonstrators displayed a fondness for graphic wordplay on the company’s name and for shooting their middle fingers in the air.” Also, “protesters screamed in unison ‘FOX News lies’ and held up signs?that read?’The more you watch the less you know.'”
Jeremy Glick, son of 9/11 terror attack victim Barry Glick and member of United for Peace and Justice, said his complaints about FOX News applied to other TV news networks. “Corporate media has to be overhauled and decentralized and made accountable to local communities,” Glick said, before calling FOX News “particularly reprehensible.”
What, obscene gestures and language from folks who rail against “corporate media”? I’m shocked ? shocked!
