Fox News - Wisconsin Thugs are So Tough they Wear T-Shirts and Fight Mounted Police in Front of Palm Trees

Apparently, someone went to Madison, Wisconsin, and planted palm trees in front of the capital. In other news, the Wisconsin police department decided to put their mounted police on the street in 15 degree weather, and the Union "Thugs" are now fighting in t-shirts, rather than coats.

At least, that is what The O'Reilly Factor would have imprinted on you.

Here is video of those violent protesters in Madison, courtesy of Bill O'Reilly:



Notice anything funny? The palm trees, the t-shirts, the mounted police? The video they used was stock - not from Madison at all. There doesn't seem to be any proof that it is from this year, either.

Again, perhaps it was a mistake in the editing room. And those mistakes keep piling up.

Again, it doesn't matter what happens after the fact. The viewers were imprinted with the image of violent protests and Union "Thugs" in Wisconsin.

In all fairness, there was an incident last week where a Fox News reporter was violently "punched on the arm" and "punched in the face" by a protester, albeit off camera at the time.

Except that he wasn't. A protester captured the entire exchange on video. Behold, as the protesters feed on his flesh!

I can see rather clearly a person tapping the reporter on the shoulder, perhaps trying to get his attention. Not sure this classifies as "unwanted touching".

But again, the job has been done by Fox News. The story is fixed to their image - Union Thugs occupy the capital. Those greedy, greedy teachers are after your tax dollars. And there is no reason whatsoever for them to be angrily marching on the state house.
