Still no journalism at FOX News

Two items:
1. BillO sent his crew to The National Conference on Media Reform. His guys tried to do the standard O'Reilly Ambush bit on real journalist Bill Moyers, but their target turned the tables on them pretty quickly. Video is here.

As Josh Silver put it:
That's right. Fox News sent grown men with cameras to lurk behind doorways, hide
in alcoves, and crouch in the bushes at night (literally) waiting to surprise
two reporters in their seventies with angry questions and a boom mic.

2. In teasing a segement last week, FOX News host E.D. Hill called the fist bump between Barack and Michelle Obama a "terrorist fist jab." Hill lost her show this week, though FOX doesn't say why.
