Having been called out as America’s Teabagging Network, Fox News gets a bit testy when the real news networks make fun of them:

Cable Anchors, Guests Use Tea Parties as Platform for Frat House Humor

For thousands of Americans, Tax Day was a moment to protest what they see as bloated budgets and a pile of debt being passed on to their children. 

For CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the word "teabagging" in a sentence. 

Teabagging, for those who don’t live in a frat house, refers to a sexual act involving part of the male genitalia and a second person’s face or mouth. 

So when the anti-tax "tea party" protests were held Wednesday across the country, cable anchors and guests — who for weeks had all but ignored the story — covered the protests by cracking a litany of barely concealed sexual references. 

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed "teabagging" references with analyst David Gergen’s more staid commentary on how Republicans are still "searching for their voice." 

"It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging," Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.

Tea Party participants were not amused. The events were held in dozens of cities across the country, and while some demonstrators were criticized for wielding off-topic and sometimes insensitive protest signs, most took to the streets to speak out against government spending. 

Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, said the media coverage was "insulting," reacting specifically to CNN reporter Susan Roesgen’s combative interviews with Illinois demonstrators in which she declared that the protests were "anti-CNN" and supported by FOX News. She left the teabagging jokes to her colleagues, though. 

"I’ve never seen anything like it," Bozell said. "The oral sex jokes on (CNN) and particularly MSNBC on teabagging … they had them by the dozens. That’s how insulting they were toward people who believe they’re being taxed too highly."

Yeah. You guys are soooooo immature  with your smutty sex talk and your sniggering and leering and… oh, wait…

Fox News has once again engaged in its longstanding practice of airing gratuitous footage of scantily clad women — this time in its coverage of the grim issue of drug cartel-related violence in Mexico. In segments raising the question of whether Mexico is no longer safe for college spring break trips — a proposition challenged by some guests — footage of young women in bikinis aired on Hannity, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, and The O’Reilly Factor.

To be fair, the Fox clips were pretty much devoid of ball-sucking outside of Hannity sucking his own, but then he does that almost every night so no one really notices or cares anymore…
