"Shame on Fox News," from the United American Committee:
What was often viewed as one of the most pro-American and patriotic news channels just a few years ago has now resorted to the same anti-American, anti-Western propaganda and revolting journalism as many other pro-Islamist and anti-American media networks, according to the United American Committee. In a recent posting on YouTube by the United American Committee of a story appearing on Fox News, a Fox reporter hangs out with terrorists as he watches them build rockets in a location known by him, and then gleefully films them launch their creations onto civilian targets. This is the same journalist who most recently hung out again with his Hamas friends as the media hungry terrorists gave him a guided tour of smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Egypt.See the disgusting reporting posted on the UAC's YouTube channel here.
After watching the video, please let Fox News know what you think of this reporting.

I can't believe this.
Again, who's paying for the supplies? We are.
All aid should be cut off until the rocket attacks stop. Better yet, permanently.
Strange that a reporter is showing a rocket attack going into Israel. They usually only show the retaliation attacks on Gaza.
What happened to the millionth cease fire agreement?
And I will start spelling it Ghaza, which seems to mean requirement to war against unbelievers to spread islam, a more accurate description.
An interesting video. What is more alarming is the reporter's sympathy for the Palestinians suffering under Naqab (by their own choice) and breaching treaties in place (again, by their own choice). If I take rocks and throw them at my neighbour's house, I shouldn't be surprised when my neighbour either calls the police, and or sends his dog in my direction, or attacks me personally, particularly if he asks me, repeatedly, to stop.
I think that more reporters need to read the daily invective that comes from the Muslim countries, and study the life of Moh* for themselves, so that they can understand the real correlation of events. Dickens said it best, when asked by Scrooge, whose children these were (ghost of Christmas future), and the reply was ignorance and want, and the instruction was to avoid them both, but particularly the first, ignorance. Send the reporter a copy of your book, Robert on the life of Mohammed and maybe he will become enlightened.
Last I read Fox News is 31% owned by the Saudis, why fight the opposition when you can buy them? Big thanks to all you SUV owners!
Our federal government has been purchased by the Saudis, how, through the same conduit as gets the Clintons and Carters millions for "speaking engagements". YOO HOO, America wake up close this loophole for foriegners to purchase our so-called public servants!
Since the media is in full campaign mode to insure Obama victory, when Israel IS wiped off the face of the planet one can blame Democratic Party. All I can do is ask Sen Chuck Schumer how could he be so blind to support a political party which will help to destory Israel, how can he encourage the majority of Jews in America to support Obama?
Dear Sen. Schumer, was your lust for Collectivist power so bloodthirsty that you would help the enemy destroy Israel in order to get this power?
When Israel IS wiped of the planet this time it really will be the fault of the Jews specifically the American Jews who love their Collectivism more than Israel.
Hey - doesn't he remember what happened to Steve Centani and his cameraman? How they got kidnapped and were forced on film to make a declaration of allegance to Allah before they were freed?
Mike! Wudderya doin, buddy?
Fox has lost it's bearing a long time ago as has become evident with reports like that posted in the video above . . .for those who cannot view it -
Fox and Friends correspondant, Gretchen Carlson introduces Mike Tobin who takes you behind the scenes to see how these crude weapons (kassam rockets) are assembled in the Gaza Strip.
With friends like that - who needs enemies?
Perhaps if Mike or Gretchen were to be reporting live from this scene 15 Seconds in Sderot they would better understand the situation, that is, if they were fortunate and fast enough to locate shelter when the warning system sounded -in reality one has between 10 to 15 seconds to secure safe shelter.

Poetic Justice.
I am not surprised. Just because they are better than CNN and MSNBC does not mean they are good.
"Last I read Fox News is 31% owned by the Saudis, why fight the opposition when you can buy them? Big thanks to all you SUV owners!"
It would be interesting to investigate how many media channels are owned by Saudis worldwide. The Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle are also owned by them. (http://pseudosecularism.blogspot.com/2007/09/what-is-media-who-owns-media-in-bharat.html)
American Thinker has an interesting recent article about the media situation in India, showing that the Indian Conservatives have no major media channel at all:

If someone willing participates in a crime by filming the commission of the crime, that person is an accessory to the crime and should be prosecuted with the other perpetrators of the crime.
How is this news reporter and cameraman different from a willing participant in the crime? How is this news reporter and cameraman different from the one who films the beheading of kidnap victims?
Is anyone awake?
I was flabbergasted and absolutely appalled when I saw Tobin in Gaza with terrorists. I caught 2 in the series and don't know if there were more than that. Since when does "fair & balanced" mean consorting with the enemy in order to get a story?
How is letting us know what the enemy is doing "consorting" with him?
We need to know what is going on in the world before we can act. Refusing to report on what is happening in Gaza doesn't help anyone.
Tobin wasn't showing us the effects of an Israeli missile strike, ignoring the fact that it was caused by Palestinian aggression. He wasn't interviewing the mother of a suicide bomber, listening to her tale of woe about losing her only child, ignoring the fact that her son died by his own hand and killed innocent people in the process.
I saw the report on the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. I was surprised that we saw the tent city that is used to conceal the openings. Far from being pro-Islamist, I saw his report as one that informed me of the extent of smuggling and how easy, relatively speaking, it was. If we saw it, why shouldn't we think that the Israelis saw it as well?
Fox has definitely leaned left in its political coverage but that's to be expected. The network that was once an upstart has decided to go along to get along. As the years pass, it becomes more and more a part of the establishment. Informed viewers will take that into account. Wasn't it Fox that broke the story of Bush's drunk driving arrest right before the election? Fox isn't perfect. It never was.
Are you kidding? This is *exactly* what we need!
Whatever the intentions of the reporter may have been, this shows Palestinians engaging in calculated attacks on Israeli civilian targets. All too often we're shown IDF jets and tanks giving the American and world audiences the impression that the aggression is coming from the Israeli side. The best thing would be for more of this reporting to happen - I personally hope this reporter manages to get an interview with a budding 13 year old suicide bomber so that he (the bomber) can express the fact that he wants to be come a 'martyr' for the glories offered him in the Islamic paradise.
In order for the world to wake up to the true intent and motivations of Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, etc. we need them to be allowed to voice their murdererous and genocidal aspirations and to display their violence for everyone to see.
A lot of good intel can be gleaned from the video. I wouldn't want to be in that bomb shop in the near future.
The reporter's opening and closing remarks were not pro-terrorist. Nor was his narration during the video.
Compare that to the sob piece on HDN (High Definition News) cable channel I saw yesterday showing high definition stills of "Palestinians" using sling shots against Israeli army soldiers shown firing in their direction. It looked like smoke and tear gas being fired but the "report" made sure not to give that information. It was as blatant "Palis are David and Israel is Goliath" imagery as you could imagine.
Hey scooter! Wake up, this is America, and I'll drive anything I damn well please. I'm tired of you environmental nutjobs blaming all the country's and world's ills on us. I'll bet you buy bottled water by the case-load, 'cause you think your tap water isn't good enough. How many BILLIONS of barrels of oil a year do you think it takes to make all those little plastic bottles? And it doesn't matter how much you recycle, so don't even start. Just... get on your bad motor scooter and RIDE!
By my standards, participating in the launch makes the Fox reporter a co-conspirator. I will not be surprised and will not shed any tears if they will be snatched by Mossad one day. Don't make friends with the bullies, my mom used to say.
