Fox News sent Griff Jenkins to report on protesters at the Democratic Convention. Griff asked the protesters “Do you believe in Freedom of Speech,” and “do you believe in freedom.” The protestors stood up to the same news organization that allowed Sean Hannity to lie about Obama’s position on partial birth abortion, as well as the same news organization that referred to Michelle as “Obama’s Baby’s Mama,” and started chanting and bullying Griff . This verbal melee forced Griff to cut away from the report. The report was as follows

Off air, a shaken Griff tried to do a taped report from the middle of the crowd. After calling the protesters “far left winged” the protesters interfered with the taping, and verbally escorted Griff away from the scene.

Memo to on the scene reporters, At the Newseum there is an interactive video game on how to be a “news reporter.” It teaches kids how to “ask the right questions,” and how to distinguish “opinion from fact” in news reporting to get to what the story “is.” I should submit Griff’s piece to the Newseum and request the news curators use the reporting style here as a fantastic example of how not to conduct live news interviews. Also, Fox News just proved the “far left” are not supporters of Obama. I don’t believe that was their intention. Denver 2008 will not be Chicago 1968, no matter how much Fox News wants it to be.
