Watch: CNN slams Fox News ‘you lie’


by Sunny Hundal    

After promoting the ‘Tea Protests’ on 9/12, as you would expect any balanced news organisation to do, Fox News took out an ad slamming rival news agencies for not covering them.

But Rick Sanchez from CNN is not happy about it – not only accusing Fox News of lying but also questioning why a news organisation would promote anti-President protests.

In another interview, ‘Tea Party’ leader Mark Williams admitted that a few of the signs aimed at Obama were racist.

But CNN’s Anderson Cooper catches him out calling the American President “an Indonesian Muslim and a welfare thug” earlier.

And yet some believe only a minority of the people involved in these protests are motivated by racism.
