Both Fox News and CNN felt some of the protesters frustration as they gathered and marched across the country for a fourth straight night over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Late Friday night, Fox News reporter Leland Vittert was taunted with Fuck Fox News chants near the White House while on-air. Vittert acknowledged the heckling during the broadcast, saying, We have some media critics out here. He was then followed by protesters who continued to scream expletives at him after his report was interrupted.

The front of the CNN Center in Atlanta was also met by protesters who damaged the building, vandalized the stations logo, broke windows and, according to CNN, a SWAT team was called to control the crowd. During the live coverage, a protester tossed a firecracker, causing a loud explosion, leading one of the on-scene reporters to yell shit during CNNs broadcast.

At least 20 states saw organized protests on Friday. Some were peaceful, but many turned dangerous as protesters expressed outrage in the wake of police brutality and a lack of charges for the other officers involved in the killing of Floyd.

Im glad that Faux Cackle Noise reporters are getting some feedback from outside their bubble.
For now, they should be grateful that they arent tarred and feathered or have their heads shaved like French collaborators during World War II.
