Ohmigod - a Fox News Reporter just said...
Edited on Sun Aug-29-04 11:38 AM by nyhuskyfan
"Organizers expected up to 250,000 people at the march in New York City. Early estimates show it is actually much less than that."

Less? Almost the entire parade route is wall-to-wall people.

2. Why bother ever turning on Fox?
You know that they're full of it. Turn them off.

4. I was flipping through all the channels...
At that moment, Fox was the only one covering the protest (other than C-Span). I only had them on for around 30 seconds, but heard that line from their reporter.

10. No worries...
I interpreted your question as being rhetorical, not directed at me. And I did feel like I owed everyone a decent explanation as to what the hell I was doing on that channel.

15. Yeah, the "early estimate" was taken at 3 am!
"Hey! There's no one here! I guess this protest isn't important. God Bless Emperor Bush!"

16. I'm putting a sign in our upstairs window that says, "FOX FREE ZONE"
Ignore them. It's the RNC channel and everyone knows it.

17. I think that pronouncement was right after they heard....
