Ed Asner Angers Fox News Reporter with Pee Question – Video

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


Some time ago, actor Ed Asner voiced a propaganda video commissioned by the California Federation of Teachers, which showed a rich animated man relieving himself on the poor. Called out by Fox News on the video, the actor responded immediately.

A Fox News producer reached out to the actor to ask him about the ad, as the video above will confirm.

Initially, Asner says he doesn’t remember the ad or what it was all about, but he stresses that, if he agreed to do it, that must mean that he “approve[d] this message.”

Out of the blue then, he asks the Fox News reporter if he has any money. When he gets an answer in the affirmative, he candidly asks, “Can I [urinate] on you?”

Useless to say, Fox News’ Sean Hannity blew a fuse over the actor’s response, especially since the feud between the star and the network has been long standing.

You can see that too in the clip embedded above.

This just verifies that Fox is not about news but about entertainment.

FOXNews for Dummies takes offense? That is akin to a cockroach complaining about the quaility of the food! Asner is terrific.

Ed is dead but he forgot to lay down, a real joke in the world of politics, why even give this leftwing loon 5 seconds of air time?

What is wrong with the cartoon, it is honest open correct. The middle class is nor called pions for no reason. No lies only facts. You people are ultra radical right. The right is anti middle class, no unions, suppression of voters, anti choice, anti women. The right live in hate and fear.

It's open honest and correct if you are a social parasite living off the system. I can't believe the number of leaches there are out there sucking the country dry. It's time to grow up, GET A JOB and start contributing. It's time to be an adult and work for what you want instead of sobbing about life not being fair. Life isn't fair, get over it! You people are a joke, a bad one at that.

Ed has it right and fox news is a joke. I can only hope that fox news will grow up someday and quit crying. They need to learn to report the news and quit trying to make news.

Take the old man out to the woodshed and give the bastard a good beating. Why like minded people like him think they always know what is best for everyone. I am poor and everyone makes there own life.

Wow, these people in the video are so out of touch.

Good for him. A reporter asks a stupid question, he gets stupid banter in return. I find it funny, though, how vehement Michelle Malkin is about how rich people are the victims. They're not the victims and that video is absolutely true. In the 70s, wages increases for the wealthy and lower classes were about the same after taxes. Your boss was more likely to live next door to you. And 40 years later, wages for the rich increases exponentially. Meanwhile, it has flatlined for the lower classes. All because of the tax cuts for the upper classes that occurred during Republican administrations.

"Propaganda" video? the extremist right is steaming, great job Asner. FOXNews for Dummies is offended, and pigs demand cleaner pens.

Sounds like Fox is having difficulties suppressing the truth. Power to the people. Not an attack on success but an attack on overt greed.
