Ooopsies! Looks like it's time to bring back that golden oldie Candid Camera!
Media watchdog MediaMatters has obtained footage "from an anonymous tipster" of what it says is a Fox News producer giving stage directions to a crowd of Tea Party protesters at the 912 event in Washington, DC, last weekend.That's right, folks, ClusterFox actually felt it necessary to incite (cue) the Tea Tantrumers into a Faux Frenzy in order to get the response they needed to convince America of their enthusiastic support.
Thanks to MediaMatters, we get a little peekaroony at what lengths they feel they have to go to just to get their peeps to holler and bellow and sound all grassrootsy and stuff:
Here's how it looked to the Faux audience:
Faux News manufactures every bit of footage they air, from Glenn Blech's tears to so-called "average citizen" crowd scenes. Lo. S. Ers.
"I guess it wasn't enough for Fox News to promote the hell out of Glenn Beck's 9/12 death march – they also needed to incite the crowd – you know, get them nice and pumped up so they'd looked good for the cameras," Karl Frisch writes at MediaMatters. "Fair & Balanced? More like Fake & Staged."
