"On The Media" had a great piece this weekend about FAUX NOISE and
their co-opting of the "tea-bagging" that was going on.

They were wonderfully critical of FAUX for becoming part of the news instead of reporting it.
They mention some other stations as well.

This is definitely worth a listen. The transcript will be available on Monday, but you can hear it right now.

Tea Time All The Time
April 17, 2009

Fox News’ relentless promotion, some might say co-sponsorship, of this week’s tax day tea parties made us wonder: did Fox News cover the events or help to create them? Brooke takes a look at the coverage.

1. Well, when you have a Fox's "reporters" actually exhorting us to "wake up and fight the fascism",
there's little doubt about whether it's just reporting or creating news.
