Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins tasked with ‘causing trouble’ at Democratic convention.
Yesterday, Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins waded into the Re-create ‘68 protest outside the Democratic National Convention in Denver, where he was greeted with expletives as he antagonized the crowd by asking “what’s your actual message” and “do you not believe in freedom?” On Fox and Friends today, host Brian Kilmeade acknowledged that Jenkins was intentionally instigating the crowd. At the end of the segment, Kilmeade signed off by saying that Fox was “going to continue to send” Jenkins “out to cause trouble.” “I hope so,” responded Jenkins. Watch it:

The demonstrators had it right yesterday! F*** FOX NEWS!!!
August 25th, 2008 at 10:32 amWell, at least we know that the FoxSnooze crew "believes in freedom" . . . they all believe they are free to make a**es of themselves every day.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:35 amFOX Noise has been reduced to such a small, unthinking audience who needs boogeymen to hate that really, this story is pathetic and despeate more than anything else.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:36 amThugs + scabs = Fox!
August 25th, 2008 at 10:36 am"News", or rather pablum, for hateful, immature, idiots.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:37 amAugust 25th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Where the hell is the FCC? Oh yea right...in Bush's wallet.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:38 amFurther cementing my belief that Republicans are nothing but cultural spammers.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:39 amAnd we are surprised that Faux would be stirring up this and then being proud of it? Come on, that is what BushCO and the NeoCons are paying them to do!
But imagine the roar if, say, BBC or PBS were to do that. We would never hear the end of it from the Wacko Righties! But then, they are real news organizations, so they would never do that.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:41 amLets see, if the propgandist gets his little ass kicked by a protester the defense attorneys need to get that tape. It should help nicely with reasonable doubt.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:42 amWard Churchill!
'68!
Do you not believe in freedom?
This Fox Noise clown walks into the middle of a peaceful political demonstration march, and can't figure out why they don't stop and engage him in conversation.
It's a march, you idiot.
But nothing can be allowed to contradict the narrative of DFHs causing trouble in Denver. Even if there is no trouble.
Fear, unbalanced.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:43 amHAHAHAHAHA......YEAH YOU GO GET'EM "GRIFF"....MAKE SURE YOU'RE A ONE MAN ARMY ATTACKING THE CREW COMING OUT OF THE RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE CONCERT.
YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF THEY DON'T DRAG YOU BEHIND A PICKUP AND STRING YOUR BODY UP AS A TROPHY.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:46 amI saw a video on Huffington Post last night that showed what this little turd was doing, and all the crap that he was spewing. This really disgusts me - I am sick to death of faux news, and the msm in general. Come on dems - get it together this week, and keep these creeps on the run all the way through the election.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:47 amI much prefer the original Three Stooges over Griff, Gretchen and Brian.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:47 amOne thing is now clear; if you ever work for Faux NoNooz, you will NEVER be confused with being a journalist or having any integrity, so this is the best gig you will ever have.
That has gotta suck if you were wanting any respect, but then, none of them care about anything but the money.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:50 amIn FoxSnooze's defense, it was probably a slow news day. You know . . . no high-speed car chases in L.A., no cute missing blond white women and no female celebrities getting out of cars without underwear.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:51 amI wonder what type of greeting awaits Hannity and Rove!What's the morning line that Hannity will come up with a Flip-Flooping excuse to not showing up?

Haha, well said Lefty. I bet the Trolls that frequent TP LOOOOOOVED this segment.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:53 amFaux News = COINTELPRO = agents provocateurs
August 25th, 2008 at 10:54 amWhat’s the morning line that Hannity will come up with a Flip-Flooping excuse to not showing up?
Oh, Little Seanie will show up all right. He could never pass up an opportunity like this to play the victim card. That's all he ever does. He wouldn't have a radio rant-fest if he didn't have something to whine and complain about.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:56 amI think we need to create a new level of troll-dom and call it Fox News.
As in: He was just a lowly little troll planting spam in cyberspace, but he always wanted to grow up, move out of mom's basement and work for Fox News.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:56 amAnd seriously, can you get a more contrived sounding name than Griff Jenkins?
August 25th, 2008 at 10:57 amIt’s time for CBS, NBC or ABC to send an actual reporter to the scene to show FAUX how it’s really done. Frigging fools.

How about Major Garrett? (Another Faux 'superstar'.)
August 25th, 2008 at 11:00 amIt felt more like a Biff Henderson piece on Letterman than real news.

August 25th, 2008 at 11:04 amWhy is Faux permitted at a democratic event. I thought only news organizations were permitted?
August 25th, 2008 at 11:06 amAwesome, at last the country gets to see the protesters that have been out there all these years that the MSM hasn't shown. Of course they're showing them because many of them are anti-Obama otherwise we'd have not known about them either. But it's all good.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:07 amnever heard of him
August 25th, 2008 at 11:10 amI think the repulicant brigade needs to be sent the message on November 4th that this is no game. They need a string of losses to be clued in on their joke.

I think the majority of the recreate '68 folks were specifically anti-War protesters. Nice try, I guess.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:15 am"It’s time for CBS, NBC or ABC to send an actual reporter to the scene to show FAUX how it’s really done."
To report on what?
August 25th, 2008 at 11:16 amgood_golly7 Says:
I can see why they were angry. I mean being asked such outrageously irrelevant questions as: “What is your message?” “What are you protesting?” /snark — Why ask them questions for which they have no answer?
Recreate '68 is an anti-War group. Which would be pretty clear to anyone with the wherewithal to maybe look up the protests at the 1968 convention.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:16 amOf course since Faux is fair and balanced, they're planning to send someone to cause trouble at the Republican Convention too, right? Right?
August 25th, 2008 at 11:17 amGood GOLLY, did Griff really fool you?

You're wasting your time, Hussein McCain. As gg said in its own post -- "Why ask them (gg) questions for which they (gg) have no answer?"
What you witnessed was an outbreak of Trollette's Syndrome . . . that is, a silly moron blurting out a senseless pile of crapola with no intention of engaging anyone else in an actual conversation.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:26 am"Tracy, To report on everything Fox pretends to report on."
You think it would be worth while reporting on the protests?

Well, there was Dash Riprock, the actor character on the Beverly Hillbillies. Then there was Les Nessman on WKRP in Cincinnati. No wait, Les was a five time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk award, as well as the coveted "Silver Sow".
August 25th, 2008 at 11:34 amYou think it's the job of a self-proclaimed "news" channel "to cause trouble"?

Remember that 'Terrorist Fist Jab', it was one of our network's creation.
Now you are a loyal viewer. !!
He started asking questions in the middle of the march?
'What is your message?'... Is this clown serious?

August 25th, 2008 at 11:42 amOperation Chaos - Lush Limpballs / '08
Methinks the paid reporter from Fux is the only one Lush could convince to go out & try to stir up trouble.
The media is still 'warning' us about Hillary & trouble pending.
Closure is not a word the media is familiar with.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:44 amTracy, Yes, the protests are well worth reporting on.

On the other hand, or for all the Faux followers out there, the other hoof, I'd be thinkin' it might be illegal to deliberately set out and try to cause trouble like this "Griff Jenkins" is trying to do.

At the end of the segment, Kilmeade signed off by saying that Fox was “going to continue to send” Jenkins “out to cause trouble.” “I hope so,” responded Jenkins.
So I guess Fox isn't even pretending to be a news organization anymore.

August 25th, 2008 at 11:49 amOh, I think they're still pretending but, let's face it, their heart really isn't in it anymore.

How is Griff Jenkins causing trouble?
August 25th, 2008 at 12:00 pmYou did great griff jenkins... never back down from a lefty liberal. These protestors aren't happy if they aren't doing two things -- ganging up on a smaller number of people (in this case one person) and living out their hippie parent's stories from the 60's. These loosers don't know how good they got it. Plus there is a lot of mental illness to consider as well.

The jerk is looking to get himself beat to a pulp on purpose, so Faux can point to those "Anti-american Liberals" being violent.
Personally, I do hope he gets the smacked down, big time.

And why pick on a Fox reporter you may ask gg and tracy, simply because they work for Fox and therefor are not reporters.
Can you imagine the cheer that would go up around the world if Karl Rove were tarred and feathered and paraded around!
So much for happy thoughts... :)

August 25th, 2008 at 1:11 pmTracy, it might not seem like it to you, but each successive comment you post further cements your reputation around here as one of the least capable trolls in the game.
You don't make sense, you don't deal with topics honestly, and you're not funny.
A troll can make it without two of those things, but not if he lacks all three.

Dropping for a moment that you are galactically stupid and without peer when it comes to being a moron ; where exactly is FAUX truly "Fair and Balanced" ?
FAUX is about as "Fair and Balanced" as Chimpy was during the Olympics , when the Secret Service had to help the retarded drunken loser down from his seat..........
August 25th, 2008 at 1:21 pmAnd you find these reports credible... why?
And if they are credible, do you consider these causes to be significant?
Are you content to let political movements be defined by their most extreme elements?
August 25th, 2008 at 1:22 pmTK, I believe you forgot the quotation marks around "Fair and Balnced™". You forgot the trademark symbol as well.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:24 pmI assume they put those up to protect themselves from the stench emanating from Fox News.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:25 pm"You only see what you care/want to see ."

August 25th, 2008 at 1:26 pmI guess you're right. I'd pay good money to watch your a$$ get kicked.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:27 pm(sigh) okay, Trace, I'll give one last try, just because you're a good sport.
The thread is about the utter lack of journalistic integrity in a Faux News employee, presenting himself as a reporter, striving to cause havoc so he'll have something to report that's favorable to the side he supports.
If you don't think that's a serious topic, then you're probably right where you belong -- in front of your TV, with Faux News turned up full blast.

Your station is fairly imbalanced.
The reporter moves through the protest like a salmon swimming upstream and asks, "Why do you hate the freedom of speech."
Maybe Trippy, you can answer this question for him... NO?

August 25th, 2008 at 1:38 pmShouldn't Fox be renamed Fox News Entertainment just like the WWE? After all, that's what it is, and it's one of the main reasons Americans are so uninformed.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:40 pmIt really shouldn't be allowed (by law) to call itself a news network.

No, TP and everyone here needs to lighten up and not take so seriously, what is clearly a satirical play on "journalism."
August 25th, 2008 at 1:41 pmWhat I find funny is that this type of thing happens all the time on Jon Stewart's show, which I think it's hillarious as well BTW, but when FOX points out the loons on the far left you guys have a cow. I just have a good laugh.
As for the bandana's, maybe the protestors are aware of America's devolving into an endemic surveillance society.
I had to give my thumbprints, just to renew my driver's license.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:41 pmHold on, MCM... maybe we should grind out this cigarette butt of political insight just yet...
I think Tracy has just given us leave to tar the Republican Party with anything that Hitler, Mussolini, Ghengis Kahn, Attila the Hun, Auguste Pinochet, or teh Saudi Royal family has ever perpetrated in the name of right-wing or religious authoritarianism.
Might be a decent trade.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:41 pmTrace, I really didn't think you could prove that you were even stupider than we thought. Congrats.
A "satirical play on journalism" doesn't belong on a cable network calling itself a "News" channel, even if nobody with half a brain believes them anymore.
But if you want to hold your favorite news source to the same standards as Comedy Central, be our guest.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:44 pmObviously, I meant "maybe we should NOT grind out this cigarette butt of political insight".
Damn.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:46 pmWow, Tracy, that tune change was more than discordant. Your theme went from "who are these potentially dangerous protestors wearing masks" to "it's all a big joke".
That was one spectacularly bad riff...
August 25th, 2008 at 1:46 pmI'd hate to pile on, but Tracy, Jon Stewarts show is on Comedy Central and it's satirical program. It's not presented as news.
August 25th, 2008 at 1:47 pmWith any luck, after Obama is elected we can do something about Fox (who fires reporters who refuse to lie) and the Post (who's reporters make things up out of whole cloth) and others of the same ilk. Let them publish and broadcast, but not let them protray themselves as the perveyors of actual "news."

August 25th, 2008 at 1:50 pmSo Fox sends out "reporters" to cause trouble with the Democratic Convention. This is proof positive Fox is anything but a news station- they are simply Repub thugs, the proppaganda media for the Bush group & all radical right wing Repubs. They have no right to be on the air calling themselves news. "Right-wing opinionated talking points" would be a correct title.
And as someone above said, surely they will also send "reporters" to cause trouble at the Repub convention - after all, that would be the only way to be fair & balanced. But because they lie all the time, that will never happen.

August 25th, 2008 at 2:00 pmFunny how it always comes out later that trouble makers at a Democrat function are hired republicans. Kind of the same as the ones that spit on Vietnam vets, found to be hired conservatives. How about just once have a fair competition between two political parties?

August 25th, 2008 at 2:05 pmTracy you are so out of touch? How old are you? Olbermann presents the news. Believe it or not. You hate it because it's the truth. If you can disprove one of his stories go ahead and do it. You can't, the right can't. All you and your kind can do is lie, cheat and steal. I used to watch Fox until I realized about 80% of what they broadcast is pure bullshit.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:06 pmSorry Tracy the truth hurts. Wake up while there's still time.
Tracy, you clearly don't understand the concept or the philosophical underpinnings of "journalism".
That's understandable, given your patronage of Faux News.
But, put simply: a journalist is not supposed to either manufacture or manipulate news.
A journalist is supposed to gather facts and report them in a useful context.
Antagonizing protesters to incite them to some form of reaction that he hopes will prove a point he'd like to demonstrate is not journalism.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:08 pm.

First this report was satire.
Then it was serious journalism.
Then it compared to The Daily Show.
Now it's not satire.

At which point, the correct term is agent provocateur. When Geraldo Rivera tried this on-stage, he ended up with a broken nose, but at least (on that occasion) he wasn't pretending to be a journalist.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:15 pm"And this, you think counts as “journalism”?"
No I don't. Again why do you guys take yourself so seriously?...eventhough Jenkins does a very good job at letting people know about where these protestors are comming from, although I don't think their "bosses" anticipated letting the foot soldiers speak so intelligently on their behalf.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:36 pmTracy, is it as futile as it seems to ask you to make sense once in a while?
Expecting a "News" channel to engage in actual "News" reporting is not really "taking ourselves so seriously". It's taking a news source seriously.
It's understandable that you would not take a news source seriously, as your preferred news source is, again, Faux News.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:47 pm"The “loons on the left” are the foundation of the 80% of Americans who believe the US is headed in the wrong direction"
The "far left" isn't the foundation of the real Democratic party. Don't insult them with the suggestion that their "base" consists such riff raff. There is left and there is "far left" and somehow I don't think most Democrats subscribe to the same political philosophy as those seen in those demonstrations. BTW if the "far left" did represent the true base of the Democratic party the number of protestors would actually have a decent crowd.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:58 pm"Olbermann presents the news."
So why is he so biased in his reporting? It's not a "newscast" it an op-ed show.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:00 pm"Loons on the left" didn't put a President in that has bankrupted and sold out everything American. The "LOL" didn't allow 4460 Americans to die for oil benefits for his campaign buddies. Tracy you wannabee republicans are the most selfish, self serving individuals that walk, you need to relocate somewhere that greed is the norm.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pmSo... your point is that the protesters represent an insignificant fringe of the American electorate?
Then why do you think they deserve attention from a "journalist" who has to create his own news by provoking them?

Letting these people speak for themselves is not putting into a crystal clear context? I would say it's far more "real" than some spokesman for one of these groups offering up propoganda and talking points. Also it's hard....real hard to take these protestors seriously.
BTW all the outrage over Fox News and Jenkins so-called "antigonizing the protestors" which so-called real new outlet has actully done anything to take these protestors seriously by doing some real journalism on their mission/message?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:36 pmTracy, what part of “Antagonizing protesters to incite them to some form of reaction that he hopes will prove a point he’d like to demonstrate is not journalism.” was confusing to you?
Is it the mobile goal post that's getting in your way?
I didn't say Letting these people speak for themselves is not putting into a crystal clear context.
I said it's not journalism.
"I would say it’s far more “real” than some spokesman for one of these groups offering up propoganda and talking points."
I didn't say it wasn't "real". I said it wasn't journalism.
But then, since you admit that "it’s hard….real hard to take these protestors seriously" that's pretty much an admission that they're not worth coverage by a "real" news organization, right?
So it's pretty clear that all you and Faux News are interested in a making the political opposition look as foolish as possible. I shouldn't have to tell you this, but... THAT ain't journalism, either, bucko.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:51 pmIt seems to me that if this *sshole is "inciting" trouble he should be subject to arrest. Wouldn't Faux start squeeling about that?

"But then, since you admit that “it’s hard….real hard to take these protestors seriously” that’s pretty much an admission that they’re not worth coverage by a “real” news organization, right?"
I said they wern't worth covering.
"I didn’t say Letting these people speak for themselves is not putting into a crystal clear context.

So how else would you put these people into "context" if not to let them speak for themselves?
"So it’s pretty clear that all you and Faux News are interested in a making the political opposition look as foolish as possible. I shouldn’t have to tell you this, but… THAT ain’t journalism, either, bucko."
So by your own definition that would exempt Olbermann from all journalism, considering that is his MO with his biased one sided reporting.

You did great griff jenkins… never back down from a lefty liberal. These protestors aren’t happy if they aren’t doing two things — ganging up on a smaller number of people (in this case one person) and living out their hippie parent’s stories from the 60’s. These loosers don’t know how good they got it. Plus there is a lot of mental illness to consider as well.

You are an ignorant lying piece of garbage. Faux propaganda outfit shows there is no level of moral depravity to which they would not sink while you and GollyGeewhatamoronIam cheer it on as if it were worthwhile to show the rightwing is completely devoid of decency.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:11 pmNo, Tracy, it wouldn't "exempt Olberman from all journalism". Sometimes Olberman does engage in real journalism, at least, insofar as his position calls for it.
But I wouldn't consider Olberman's show journalism in the sense that I am speaking of it here, either. He presents stories, and also offers opinion.
But what you seem to not want to get is that whether Olberman is a journalist or not has nothing to do with what ol' Griff was trying to pull among the fringe protesters. Which was, essentially, generate news with himself in the story.
You keep defending it as newsworthy, but if it was newsworthy, why would he have to create a story?
He wouldn't.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:15 pm"Cite where I claimed that the “Loons on the Left” comprise the basis of the Democratic party , skid mark ; you can’t , because that isn’t what I wrote…."
So the Democratic party doesn't represent the 80% you are referring to?
"80% of the ENTIRE COUNTRY believes we are on the wrong track"
That doesn't mean that the "loons on the left" represent or form the base of that 80%. To imply that would mean that the 80% agrees that we need to do away with free enterprise and free markets and American capitalism in general.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:18 pm"But you have already established that Faux is an Op-Ed entertainment group, not a news organization when you compared them to Olbermann."
Some of the talk shows are, just as I wouldn't think you could characterize all of MSNBC as an Op-Ed entertainment group.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:19 pm"No, Tracy, it wouldn’t “exempt Olberman from all journalism”. Sometimes Olberman does engage in real journalism, at least, insofar as his position calls for it."
Considering he only presents his position and never calls into question liberals like Obama, his entire show is only a op-ed bit, not a "newscast". This means that if he really engaged in real journalism, as you claim, he would present FULL context when he "reports the new" which would require him to present both sides of a story, which he doesn't.
"You keep defending it as newsworthy, but if it was newsworthy, why would he have to create a story?"
Just asking questions and letting the protestors present their viewpoint isn't newsworthy? I am sure many people, including myself, are interested in hearing why these people are protesting. Just showing some short video clips of these people marching down the street with their banners, which is what every other news outlet does, doesn't present a fair context to the viewer at all. Do you think it would be more "journalistic" to get the march organizers to say a few words about the demonstration vs. the "soldiers"?
August 25th, 2008 at 7:39 pmJeezus, Tracy, you really are stupid.
I'm sorry to insult you so harshly, and I don't say it lightly. But you really seem to have a difficulty processing language.
I never said Olberman's show was a "newscast". And real journalism does not require one to "present both sides of a story".
It requires on to present the FACTS of a story, fairly and accurately. If one side has facts and the other side has lies, it is journalistic malpractice to present the lies as if they were equally valid.
It is not necessarily newsworthy, no. But you ignored my question.
And be honest, Trace, you aren't at all interested in what these people are protesting, since you already dismissed them as "far left Loons". All you're interested in is how they can be used to make Democrats look bad.
That's all Faux News in interested in, too, which is WHY it is not real journalism.
I really hope you understand it this time, because I'm getting tired of explaining shit to you.
August 25th, 2008 at 8:49 pmWhen are those Vidiots who watch this going to catch on that there is a double-standard. What do you think would be the response if MSNBC had a troublemaker causing havoc at the RNC?
That is, if they think.
August 25th, 2008 at 11:15 pm"And real journalism does not require one to “present both sides of a story”."
"It requires on to present the FACTS of a story, fairly and accurately."
That is your unqualified opinion. If in order to give a "fair" presentation of the facts to the public requires that both sides of a contested issue to be presented. The "real" journalist needs to do that first, then he or she may give his opinion. So considering Olbermann cherry pick facts from stories he reports on that almost always has another "side" to it and spins them on a constant basis in order to make one side of a debate look blameless and the other to look bad that isn't real journalism. I would consider "fairly" to mean that they don't spin or take a quote out of context...which Olbermann does on a daily basis.
"If one side has facts and the other side has lies, it is journalistic malpractice to present the lies as if they were equally valid."
It's also journalistic malpractice to spin and take people's quotes out of context and/or not present all of the facts.
"And be honest, Trace, you aren’t at all interested in what these people are protesting, since you already dismissed them as “far left Loons”. All you’re interested in is how they can be used to make Democrats look bad."
I am absolutely interested in what they have to say and what they are protesting about. You are clueless about this. I want to know what makes these people tick. From what I heard in the imprompt to interviews by Jenkins and the signs they were carrying my "far left loons" is pretty much a safe assumption and on the flip side every time I see a KKK rally on television and hear them speak it's safe to assume that those people are "racist loons".
"It is not necessarily newsworthy, no. But you ignored my question."
Why not? Imbeded reporters inside Afghanistan or Iraq are doing "live" journalism and the answers they get are not scripted or edited. Your original question below, was based on your presumptive unqualified opinion that Jenkins was trying to "create news".
"That’s all Faux News in interested in, too, which is WHY it is not real journalism."
Wow, another unqualified opinion by someone who obviously doesn't like hearing both sides of a debate. Who would have guessed?
"I really hope you understand it this time, because I’m getting tired of explaining shit to you."
I am getting really tired of you thinking that you know what "real" journalism is.
