This a.m. even the FAUX SPEWS guy on the ground was disgusted. He, too, kept saying that the violence was exaggerated and, where it was happening, it wasn't where the people were waiting in the Dome or Convention Center. He, too, was on about all this.
But it zipped on by just as, if you watch closely, it's zipping right by on every other station. The person on the ground invariably points out that it's not as bad, the person in the newsroom moves on to talk about a police station that has a sign "Fort Apache".
