Evidentally, this sort of conduct passes for sound journalistic principles in the eyes of the FRAC, which long ago ceased to be a legitimate news channel.
Reports the Huffington Post:
A Fox News Channel producer has been caught in a behind-the-scenes video rallying the crowd during last weekend's 9/12 protest in Washington.
The Huffington Post has confirmed that the woman in the below video — seen raising her arms to rally the crowd behind Griff Jenkins, who was reporting from the scene for Fox News — is Fox News producer Heidi Noonan.
The Huffington Post piece continues:
The video shows the producer on her cell phone as she urges the crowd behind Jenkins to cheer louder. An "I'm A Foxaholic" poster appears nearby.
The Huffington Post piece reported that Noonan, according to a Fox spokesman, was already "disciplined," but what kind of discipline?
Back in my journalism days, that discipline would have been immediate firing, but I guess that doesn't apply at Fox so long as the producers and others promote right-wing thoughts like those expressed at the rally.
