On the Daily Show Jon Stewart played that clip and then commented that when Bush was pres, Fox news did stuff like that. Now that Obama's in, CNN has become "the Man" and is harassing protesters while Fox calls them "Patriots".MSNBC used it as an excuse to make tea-bagging jokes.
Actually the Daily Show did that too.

I don't think she was harassing him. I think she was just pissed he was ignorant like most the other people there and didn't really know what he was protesting against. People get fed up with ignorance, which is apparently plentiful. I also love how you only bash the liberal media and are all about the conservative media. Go watch the Daily Show from last night, if it doesn't make you think twice then you really shouldn't be allowed to talk about politics.
target audience?
Well there does need to be Government regulation or else this will happen again. But yeah, Flat Tax needs to be implemented but America will never amend the constitution.
So much for freedom of speech. Goddamn reporter wouldnt even let the dude give his say. just because you have a different view than what the President believes in, that makes you ANTI government and ANTI american? Bullshit. That is what America is ho. not family viewing...,that should be family viewing 101. A parent who doesnt teach their child to question everything is another parent who doesn't know what they're doing. Cnn suuucks. But so does fox. I hate brain washing propaganda.

I disagree. I think it's the exact opposite. She didn't know what he was there. He had a legit reason. I think he was even about to start into classical republican beliefs... (small government, etc.)

There is a really good book which explains the impact of news/newspapers on general public. It's called 'Power without Responsibility' by James Curran.
Around the world, regardless of what country you're in papers and news broadcasts act like some kind of unofficial government PR.
Not in my Utopia. 😐
