Feb 28, the O'Reilly show...
Protesters in Madison are getting rowdy! They even showed a clip of the rowdy protesters!

Question: When the hell did they start planting palm trees in Wisconsin? Huh? Yeah, look closely at the video. Apparently there was no footage of anyone being rowdy in Madison, so they spliced in footage from a protest in California over some other issue.

"Fair and balanced, you decide." Bullshit.

Sorry it's a facebook video link; if someone finds the clip on youtube or elsewhere, please post.

How well does "Professional Left-Winger" pay? What benefits? How good is the career path?

Give me a break. The guy is talking about protests in other states and the video says "union protests"

At least try to think for yourself instead of relying on the union bosses to think for you.

Fox needs to get it's act together. In this day and age of computers and CGI they should be able to do much better then that.

They don't need to- their viewers seldom engage in anything resembling fact checking.

It's amusing witnessing Cad's attempted dissembling. He'll need to do better to maintain his standing as a professional propagandist.

Uh no, there is no irony there. The leftists are the ones who've been trying to claim there needs to be civility and all this nonsense- yet they use those types of tactics. I don't care about civility because it's politics and it's a contact sport. Can't handle it? don't suit up...

Odd then that you'd quote a forum member in your sig if you really believed that..

Who cares about the facts? I was talking about verisimilitude. If its too obvious they're just making it all up people will get bored.

Clean the shit out of your ears (you may have to de-rectumize your cranium first) and listen again;
"A lot of people are bussed in from, not just Wisconsin but a lot of surrounding states, I talked to someone who was from California..."
Not in California, from California.

So did similar protests happen in CA?

Yes.

Did someone come in from CA?

Yes.

Therefore is it a lie to use stock footage of the same people in CA protesting when talking about them being bussed in?

No.
