Fox reportedly denies “suggestion that the network promoted the tea party movement” -- really?

Written by Eric Hananoki

From a February 6 Politico article:

A Fox spokesperson rejected the suggestion that the network promoted the tea party movement, and differentiated the network's news coverage from the treatment given the movement by some of the network's opinion commentators, who have actively encouraged participation in protests.
