August 24, 2008 - Fox News anchor Griff Jenkins received a expletive-laced reply when he stuck his microphone into a crowd of protesters gathered for the Democratic National Committee in Denver. The chants of 'Fuck Fox News' could be heard through Jenkins' attempted report.
The protestors, whose numbers were somewhat fewer than expected, seemed to have a myriad of causes. These included anti Iraq War, anti potential Iran War, anti New Cold War with Russia, anti Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, anti American "occupation" of Hawaii, anti European "occupation" of North America, and, apparently, anti Fox News. Unlike the massive anti Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, modern protestors are obliged to be a coalition of various groups with various causes, some of them bizarre, in order to beef up their relatively meager numbers.
