FOX News claims CNN didn't cover teaparty rally

Rick Sanchez, a CNN anchor, brings the hammer down own FOX News who ran a full page ad in the Washington Post claiming that CNN and many other networks did not cover the rally. Whats ironic is not the CNN did in fact extensively cover it, or that Bill O'Reilly even did a segment on CNN's coverage, but that in the ad FOX used a photo taken by a CNN TV camera. In the add claiming CNN hadn't covered the story they used evidence of CNN covering the event. I have no more words to describe the complete boldness of FOX News' lies.

UPDATE
According to Fox News they meant that the other networks did not cover the 'real' story. Really, according to this clip the producers of Fox News are whipping the crowd to make them more excited for a broadcast. I don't think that's journalism and I'm pretty sure its not fair and balanced.

The University of I Don't Remember

Glenn Beck cited a source when declaring that there were 1.7 million people at the anti-healthcare demonstration rather than the actual 60,000. What source was it?...The University of I Don't Remember. After some research I found the UIDR slogan, 'UIDR, making shit up for Glenn Beck since 1980'. Alright, in all seriousness this clip from The Young Turks explains how Glenn Beck flat out lied to make the protest seem important.
