Behind the scenes video at 9/12 protest shows Fox News producer directing crowd
September 18, 2009 6:50 pm ET by Karl Frisch

We just received the following behind the scenes footage from an anonymous tipster showing what appears to be a Fox News producer encouraging a crowd to scream and holler during a "report" by Fox News' Griff Jenkins at the 9/12 protest:

We would expect that type of behavior from a producer of, say, a daytime talk show with a live studio audience like Oprah or Maury or Jerry, but from a cable news producer? Really?

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.

Fair & Balanced? More like Fake & Staged.

2. It's all a game to them and teh blind stoopid who watch it are the pawns.

Must be awful painful to constantly walk around with your head up your arse.

Maybe that's why they're so cranky. :puke:

Created just for you.

5. I have seen tv stations around here do that for a story about an opinion they agree with.

6. Griff is quite the script follower.

But, hey, if you can't report the news, catapult the propaganda.
