A Fox News Channel producer has been caught in a behind-the-scenes video rallying the crowd during last weekend's 9/12 protest in Washington.

The Huffington Post has confirmed that the woman in the below video — seen raising her arms to rally the crowd behind Griff Jenkins, who was reporting from the scene for Fox News — is Fox News producer Heidi Noonan.

"The employee is a young, relatively inexperienced associate producer who realizes she made a mistake and has been disciplined," Bryan Boughton, Fox News Channel Washington Bureau Chief told the Huffington Post.

The video shows the producer on her cell phone as she urges the crowd behind Jenkins to cheer louder. An "I'm A Foxaholic" poster appears nearby.

The 9/12 movement has been championed by Glenn Beck, and is designed to "bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001" when "we were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created."

3. I believe the word "caught"

the rest of it, well, maybe young and inexperience too, but I believe she was doing as she was told. No mistake, just following orders.

4. disciplined for what?

she's a rightwing whore working for a rightwing whore news station

[Merlot]

10. getting caught.

and that's all.

[YOY]

5. I used to take the Acela all the time from Philly to DC.

A lot of the FOX News producters and upper management take the train (NYC to DC). I have overheard conversations. They really are the lowest of the low.

6. Watched the vid at Huffpo - seems like the "reporter" (guy) is exhorting the crowd, too.

7. Just surfed through Faux and there was Hannity with the Faux

outrage of the day. I don't know wtf it's about for some reason they are calling the President a domestic terrorist. Something about he shut the water off to the farmers to save fish or something. He even had Aaaanold on whining about water. I don't know I can't keep up with the a-holes but I am sure that will be the Faux News watchers thought of the day tomorrow.

8. Yep. The older, relatively experienced ones are more subtle about it.

And I doubt, actually I know, FOX ain't the only one writing entertaining plots for their audience, then sending crews out to keep recording until they get enough people saying what they want them to say. If a wink and a nudge greases it, not a problem. Plenty are willing to do and say whatever to get a shot at being on the news.

America...just beautiful.

9. I don't think "Foxaholic" is nearly as accurate as "Foxsucker" n/t

[merh]

11. I've always had problems with the "let's get back to how we felt on 9/12"

We were in shock, we were hurting, we were vulnerable, we were frightened, we were in mourning, we were angry - we might have felt the common bound as Americans but we were not in a good place.

Why would we want to go back to how we felt that day?

These people are just twisted - they are manipulative and twisted.

That producer was doing what they do, to explain it away as inexperienced is nonsense. The inexperience bit was she was caught doing it.

13. Just being "fair and balanced" and "reporting" the news. As usual.

:rofl:



Rightwingnuts; dumbest suckers on the planet.

15. Amy reported this story today. Too funny. n/t

[bridgit]

16. Of course, Beck's 9/12 gibberish is a product format as producer that chump's career...

will be strung out on the line over it. Year's from now his great grandchildren will be wheeling him up to his last and only friend - his daily bowl of cold porridge - and asking, "Dammit, grandpa!! How could you have been so fucking stupid!?"

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Sadly I'm not that surpised at this at all.

Saddened? Of course. Shocked? No.

Fox News is so obviously biased in everything that it does that having a Fox News producer actively rallying a partisan political rally is nothing new at all. Heck, the entire rally was dreamed up by Fox's new golden child, so why should we expect anything different?
