I saw this earlier. But hey, there is no bias in the media. It's all make believe.

Yup. and the people she interviewed acted like morons. It's really hilarious. Fox News bit too. HAHA. I posted it in another thread. Gotta love it.

it isn't about the protestors. This woman is a reporter, not a talk show host. Was she an unbiased reporter?

Are you kidding me, that reporter was hostile and had an agenda, she wasn't reporting the news, she was angry that she even had to be there. It also showed the complete disconnect between the drive-by media and the real people of this country. That reporter was a total (*)(*)(*)(*)(*), and to top it off tried to blame the whole movement on Fox News, no agenda there.

The first protester was unable to answer why he believed Obama was a fascist. That's a very serious accusation, and if it's going to be made, it should be made with justification.

Granted the reporter didn't really let either protester finish their remarks, so I'm not sure they're entirely at fault, but it didn't really seem like he had any answer other than 'Obama is a fascist.'

If Republicans want to disseminate a message to the people, it should be coherent and justifiable. This just befuddled that message and makes protesters look like nothing more than an angry mob (do the American people want to join angry mobs with incoherent messages?).

While the reporter's bias is obvious, I'm not sure that overshadows the protesters' vitriol and [what appeared to be] unjustified hatred. Overall, bad PR for the right, I think.

I think he just came out there to have a cup of tea. He didn't seem to know what the protest was about. Maybe he was just taking baby for a walk and saw free tea.
