Fox News' Mike Tobin hit twice by WI union demonstrator - video

I'm so tired of these leftists. They only believe in freedom of speech when people are agreeing with them.

Mike Tobin was doing a live report on the events in the Wisconsin capitol and the protesters were chanting “Fox News lies!” They shoved him, tried to cover his camera lens, and then one of them hit him twice. There’s no video available yet, as it just happened a little while ago, but Tobin confirmed he was hit on Twitter.

Huffing and Puffing About Fox News' Front Row Seat

via frugalcafe

This makes me smile. It was bad enough for the poor lefties when their sanctified National Public Radio got snubbed in favor of Fox News for the front row seat at White House briefings. Then Bill O'Reilly had to go and rub it in their faces by crowing how HE has a press pass and anticipates ending up in that seat from time to time, along with (gasp) Glenn Beck and Hannity. Feast your eyes on the angst of our devoted Left Huffpo commenters:

Let's calm down. LOL. He is only saying that he's going to be in FOX's front row seat ---in JEST. He's joking! You know Bill, he's pulling our legs. It's like the Alcoholic Uncle saying he's going to "crash" your daughter's wedding and show up uninvited to annoy everyone. What do you do? You divert him to the local bar and tell him that's where the reception will be. And be assured he will be there all night waiting for the "guests" to show up. Same thing with what Billsaid, the White House will not honor his wishes to sit in the seat. He is NO Journalist. Plus, a White House pass is needed, and I am sure Bill would not get the Secret Service's approval, neither would Beck or Hannity. Think about it. They are antagonistic to the President in mean-spireted and spiteful ways = Disrespectful. So they would not take a chance on those guys showing up and throwing a shoe at the President. LOL

Fox "News" is not news. They are not journalists. They do not report the news. Why does the White House give in. Fox Lies. Fox Spews. Does not deserve a seat in the press room. This is awful! Where oh where is our free press? Fox: Not American owned. Murdoch and his partner, a Saudi prince, don't have the interests of the USA in mind ... {Opus: note the buy-American meme when it suits them}

via @Fi:
If Bill O'Reilly,can take the Fox seat, then Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann can sit in the MSNBC seat, on the same day hopefully, can't wait.

via @FHTB:
It will be something alright when his sorry loudmouthed a-- is haued out by Secret Service...one inane comment, and you're outta there Bill, Beck or Hannity...don't EVEN try it!

Oh, this is too rich!

Fox News Forgot To Mention....

That the man arrested for shooting into Eric Cantor's congressional offices and threatening him is a MUSLIM. Hmmm. Odd that they would "forget" to mention that. And odder still, considering that the Saudis recently bought a stake in Fox News. Has Fox News sold out their objectivity in reporting ALL the news? Now they, too, like the lamestream media, are editing out muslim terrorist attacks and threats? I think we may need more diversity in news programming. One conservative/independent news organization is not enough. There need to be more. Competition is healthy for any industry.

Jammie Wearing Fool notes that Norman Leboon, a Muslim, just so happens to be a Barack Obama donor.

Michelle Malkin found the deranged leftist’s photo.

Leboon posted the video last Wednesday.
Philly.com reported:

According to the affidavit, Leboon allegedly said in the video: “Remember Eric . . . our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you’re a Lucifer, you’re a pig, a greedy [expletive] pig. You’re an abomination. You receive my bullets in your office. Remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer’s abominations.”

The video was reported to the FBI in San Francisco on Friday and Leboon allegedly told agents he posted it on Wednesday.

First They Came for Fox News-NewsBusters

by Claudia Rosett. You don’t have to love Fox News to see how dangerous it is when the President of the United States gives his staff and advisers a green light to single out and denigrate by name a specific news organization. As we surely all know by now, this is what the White House has been doing to Fox.

The Sunday morning talk shows just brought us White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod opining to George Stephanopoulos, on ABC’s “This Week,” that Fox is “Really – not news — it’s pushing a point of view.” Axelrod advised that ABC and other non-Fox outlets take his cue and expunge Fox from the brethren of news services: “And the bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way, and we’re not going to treat them that way.” Meanwhile, on CNN’s “State of the Union,” White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was hammering home the same message, that Fox “is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective,” and urging “More importantly is not have [sic] the CNNs and the others in the world basically be led in following Fox, as if what they’re trying to do is a legitimate news organization… .”

This would be a very good moment for all those other news organizations — CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, the newspapers and the news web sites – to offer President Obama the perspective that it is utterly inappropriate for White House personnel to be opining publicly on the overall fitness of specific news outlets. The president has sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” That includes protecting free speech, not dispatching White House staff and advisers to hold forth publicly as media critics denouncing news outlets they don’t like.
