Fox News claims anti-fees protests were “rebellion against big government”

Print Friendly

Those who are familiar with Rupert Murdoch’s US news channel Fox News will notice that the conservative-leaning television channel often provides a right-wing outlook on current events. Whilst operating under the claim to be ‘fair and balanced’, accusations of Barack and Michelle Obama’s ‘terrorist fist bump’ and apocalyptic assessments of the President’s first 100 days in office seemed more like a propaganda movement than serious news. This approach has continued to the present day.

Bret-BaierWhilst Americans have come to expect Fox’s style of news reporting, Friday’s edition of Fox News’s “Special Report” was particularly concerning. That was because this time they were talking about Britain.

In a segment described as ‘Yankee Rebellion Resonates in Ye Olde England’, Fox reported that Great Britain is following the lead of the United States in embracing the ‘Tea Party’ ideology.

Within the report at around the 23-second mark, the Fox voiceover explains that:

“…a new rebellion against big Government and high taxes is resonating in Ye Olde England…”

There followed a series of soundbites from Matthew Sinclair, representing the TaxPayers’ Alliance. Whilst arguing the point that in fact the British people are increasingly for smaller government and cuts they use footage of a protest march to illustrate their point.

It is only used for a matter of seconds, however if one examines the video the protesters are in fact marching against education cuts and increased tuition fees which arguably are a direct contrast to what Fox reported.

The video handed the misrepresentation legitimacy, meaning the 99 per cent of viewers who would not have noticed what the banners and placards of the protesters actually said would have believed they were Tea Party activists.

As well as addressing UKIP and the EDL – the latter described as a ‘nationalistic group upset about immigration’ – Fox issues a glowing report on the comparisons between the TaxPayers’ Alliance and its American counterparts.

Watch it in full:

Whilst many might ask why this is of any relevance to British people it must be remembered Fox is the number one cable news channel in America, with millions of viewers watching every day for their dosage of what many consider real news. Clearly, this could have been a video error if there were currently thousands of people protesting in the streets of Westminster in favour of bigger public spending cuts, however this is not the case.

Although Fox is the sister station of Sky News there is no evidence to suggest its British counterpart has been involved in the same ‘massaging’ of video footage. What it does suggest is that Fox should be not only more careful with their footage, but also more honest in their reporting.

  • Jamie

    This is a completely ludicrous misrepresentation and is more reminiscent of Pravda than any vaguely sane media outlet.

    Guido Fawkes’ comments can be dismissed because he doesn’t reveal who he really is. Therefore there is no way of verifying whether or not he was on the march. I very much doubt it.

    Guido’s remark illustrates the importance he gives to his own individual standpoint relative to the total picture. They are the same with global warming – find one bit of data that is consistent with their ideology, and claim that this negates the whole global dataset. It would be sad if it were not so influential.

    Because of racism and blind,jealous, hate all media in America is resorting to this sort of journalism (if that is what they call this fake news now). When any news reporter thinks its important to still concern themselves over whether or not President obama was born in the USA when its been factually proven again and again that he was, news lost all its credibility as far as I am concerned.

    Guido Fawkes is clearly is an idiot teabagger spewing nonsense. Its people like him that is ruining our society, dumb red necks.

  • regretfull-libdem swansea uni

    Excuse me, anon E mouse, how dare you make such a wildly divisive and stilited comment. I go to university, I had freinds on the (peacefull) march, and I would have gone but my uni ran out of places on the bus, but none of these education cuts effect my year, they’ll come in after we, hopefully, graduate. its not the middle classes this wil hurt most its those on lower incomes. the point of the march was to inform the idiologically driven government that the cuts they are proposing will prevent many of those who diserve to go to university and but afford it from doing so. They are selling the country’s future for 60 pieces of silver to line their slimey pockets.
    on the subject of fox, i have no idea how they can be allowed to get away with something like this, it was so blatant, their either stupid or their arrogant enough to think those listning are. and to liken a student protest to the BNP and to refer to them in such mild terms is just insulting.

    That clip is unreal: the signs clearly read “No Cuts” i.e. students in favour of keeping gvt. the same size and/or increasing its size.

    Matthew Sinclair is a disingenuous buffon.

    Perhaps they edited his comments in a somewhat sneaky manner, but even taking this into account: he is a disingenuous buffoon (and not a buffon as previously claimed by some).

  • Scary Biscuits

    This error is clearly no worse than the BBC describing the marches as “anti-government”. As Chris admits, these were pro-government marches, wanting more spending and more, bigger government.

    You also didn’t seem to object when all the UK news channels, including Sky, described the violence as committed by a small minority or that it wasn’t officially sanctioned. Given the scale of the breaches of the peace and the involvement of NUS officials, that clearly wasn’t true either. So why pick on the Yanks?
