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.

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.

Tuesday's Daily Brief: Wisconsin Recall Election, Drone Kills Al Qaeda Deputy, Microsoft Axes Zune, Plus James Franco, Alanis Morissette, Nick Offerman

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 Judgment Day in Wisconsin POLITICS Obama, Romney Camps Both Warn Of 'Calamitous' Demise Under The Other's Leadership EDUCATION Mississippi Gov: 'It's Not A Bad Thing For Children To Hear Prayer In School' POLITICS Romney Again Ducks Equal Pay Questions WORLD Reports: Drone Strike Kills Al Qaeda Deputy TECHNOLOGY Microsoft Axes Its Failed 'iPod Killer' Brand BLOG POSTS James Franco: Summer Reading Part 1 of 6: 'If I Don't Six' I am not a sports fan, but that didn't keep me from loving If I Don't Six by Elwood Reid. There is something more to this book that takes it out of the sports fiction genre and brings it into the realm of literary fiction. Alanis Morissette: What I Know About Being an Attachment Parent It seems as though a healthy moderate version of parenting -- where our shame about our bodies and our sexuality, our traumas and our resistances to connection are addressed -- is where most of us, ultimately, really want to fall. Nick Offerman: Obsessed: Woodworking In my day job, performing for folks is a gas, and I am very tickled to make a nice living as a professional jackass, but it is the production of sawdust and shavings that brings me the most profound satisfaction. Evan Shapiro: TV: An Intervention So, how does the TV industry innovate to capture the audiences they are at risk of losing forever? How do you get cutters to keep the cord? Bernard-Henri Lévy: After the Drama of Villeurbanne From one side of the political spectrum nearly to the other, disapproval was unanimous. However, this affair (three young Jews assaulted with blows from hammers and iron bars last Saturday in Villeurbanne) remains eminently troubling.
