“ We did cover the event, what we didn’t do is promote the event. Just like we did when thousands marched on Washington to protest the war in Iraq, we covered it as well, probably less than we covered this event, but we didn’t promote it. Bottom line is we do cover the news and we did extensively cover this event, we didn’t promote the event, that’s not what real news organizations are supposed to do, we covered the event. I would invite you to look into that distinction between those two words, promote and cover. Cover is kind of like a fair and balanced way of doing things. You get it? You might want to look into that. It’s about letting Americans make up their own minds. Let me cut to the chase. When thousands of Americans showed up at the nation’s capital to protest big government we covered it, with four correspondents, two satellite trucks, lawmakers on the record, and conversations with attendees. By the way, we put a call into Fox News, and we expect an apology. But we’re still waiting. Let me address the Fox network now, perhaps the most current way that I can, by quoting somebody who used a pithy phrase. Two words. That’s all I need: You lie.
