She should have asked the question and let the guy talk. She interjected herself when he was talking. Reporters are suppose to report the news and not try and tell me what they think about the news they think I should care about.

A good reporter shouldn't let anyone just spout talking points while not getting to the point. He is at an anti-tax rally but starts spouting off about Lincoln and freedom. They didn't have an hour to wait for him to get to the point.

Meanwhile, she has to deal with screams of "You're not a reporter!" Sounded anti-CNN to me. Maybe the Fox News comment was a bit out of bounds, but she was under stress and I have little doubt she was seeing Fox News getting much better treatment.

A Fox News spokesperson responds to TVNewser, "Judging by their lack of ratings, everyone seems to be anti-CNN.":free-happy-smileys-

She obviously had a different agenda on her mind of what to report. She didn't even let the guy finish speaking.

Actually, watching the Fox News clips on The Daily Show from last night, it certainly DID seem as if they were sponsoring these tea parties. Maybe not financially, but they were telling everyone to go. I don't recall MSNBC ever telling anyone to fly to London to join in the G20 protests, or go to Seattle to be part of the World Bank protest, or telling people to be involved ANY protest.

The teabagging jokes all over the news.

Yeah, I laughed at a few of them, but is this really the way to cover what was an important event for some americans?

it is a fad which will die out. It got more people because it was on tax day.
The whole thing about the people being left and right was way overblown i think.
