This Is Why People In Wisconsin Don't Like Fox http://mediamatters.org/research/201206050017 During a report from Madison, Wisconsin on the recall election of Governor Scott Walker, Fox's Neil Cavuto opined to Fox Business' Don Imus that "some people don't like" Fox, adding: "I don't know why." Of course, people in Wisconsin have ample reason not to like Fox; the network has pushed a litany of falsehoods and distortions while covering both the Wisconsin recall effort and the state's pro-labor protests. Fox's Cavuto Doesn't "Know Why" "Some People Don't Like" Fox Cavuto Tells Imus: "Some People Don't Like Us; I Don't Know Why." From the June 6 edition of Fox Business' Imus in the Morning: NEIL CAVUTO (Fox News host): Ironically enough, with overall union members in this state, [Walker] remains, oddly enough, a popular figure, much like Chris Christie in New Jersey. So with the union leadership and some of the passionate, outside Wisconsin state operatives, it's very, very different. DON IMUS (host): Where are you, Neil? I hear a horn honk. CAVUTO: I'm in Madison, Wisconsin. IMUS: No, I know that. But I mean -- CAVUTO: Oh man, oh man. There's a lot of that, a lot of that. No, seriously. But I mean, there's a lot of that, and when they see Fox News here or me here -- I mean there's a -- some people don't like us; I don't know why.
