2. I refuse to watch

but I'm sure that "this sickens me" or "a sickening sight" or
other similar language will be trotted out shortly.

6. "A Fire Was Started By Violent Leftist Radicals."
How's that for their headline? Betcha anything some Fox staffer started it because the demonstration was boringly peaceful, consisting mainly of ordinary-looking people who don't have green hair and strange piercings, and they couldn't every well show that. Especially when they were chanting "FOX NEWS SUCKS!"

4. at least their report said
it's been largely peaceful and didn't try to downsize the 250k protester figure... But yeah it was funny seeing the "faux News Alert" for the fire

5. They said there were 10s of thousands
not 250,000, as expected.

7. the chiron said 10s of Ks
but the woman reporter in MSG said 250k.. I saw a republican on MSRNC try to downplay the # because they put a camera where there weren't many people earlier today.

8. A few people were shouting Faux started the fire
They sounded serious and I hope that someone got pictures.

The Dragon was elaborate and I don't know how someone could have gotten something like that past the police unless it was Faux.

9. FAUX just showed people getting arrested
I've been watching the march for over 3 hours, and I didn't see one single arrest. Fox must have looked long and hard for that shot.
