SO, WHO IS CLEANING UP THE WISCONSIN CAPITOL AFTER UNION PROTESTS?

The protesters may be out, but the garbage left behind most definitely is not.

Cleanup cost estimates range from $347,500 to $7,500,000, depending on who you ask.

So, who is going to take out the trash?

Tea party supporters have taken to Facebook to organize an event called “It’s Time to Take Out the Trash!”:

It’s not about partisanship or protests, but pride.

It is time to take out the trash… literally. In true Flash Mob fashion, on Sunday at exactly 1300 hours (1:00 pm for you non-military types) we will do an extensive police call (pick up the trash) around the capitol square. Regardless of the state the grounds are in, we will do this as both a literal and symbolic way to show our respect for our home.

TEA Partiers know how this is done. It is time to show OUR pride for OUR state OUR way and be the example.

Even if you cannot attend, please share this and invite all of your sane friends who share our love of Wisconsin.

No signs, no screaming, just a necessary cleaning.

THat estimate is looney but the Marble was stained by the posters and adhesive and that will cost a few bucks to repair.

The estimate is so loony that nobody but FOX and the rest of RWN sphere will even report it.

If that was an estimate offered from the State house, I would want news outlets to report it... and let me decide.

Yes, and if Hosni Walker's people that circulated this number with a good bit of self-interest are left having to walk this ridiculous number back then I'd want this pointed out so an informed decision can be made. But Faux News wouldn't want the viewer to make informed decisions - they "report" in a manner for you to arrive at the decision they want you to make.

SO you are saying..... you prefer new sources which don't even give you half the story?

At least Faux News reported the hyped estimate.....the sources you follow never reported even the primary facts of that story...... how could you (or they) follow up with critical analysis ... if you never got the news story to begin with?

Again, if this were the reporting of rumor, that would be a judgment call on running the story but this was fact... and the fact was this was an estimate that came from official channels.

Do you really want your news sources deciding which verified news to expose you to?

FOX NEWS -WE DECEIVE YOU BELIEVE

IF there was deception in this story, please point it out.

No, those that give you the full story. The deception is the $7.5MM figure that Fox presented without explaining what a hyped up figure that is, where it came from and that Hosni Walker's crew had to walk it back just as fast as they could get it out. Fox instead ignored the relevant parts of the story and thus ignited a shitstorm in the RWN sphere that has no base in facts. But all that is and always will be lost on you.

The full story?

You already said your news source withheld even reporting the first part of the story (never mind the follow-up part).

Your words my friend

Unless Faux is your news source, you never even knew of the story.

That's what I have VJ for. More seriously, though, here's what you're missing:

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin officials now say the cost to repair damage at the state Capitol could be as low as $350,000.

Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch says the original $7.5 million estimate to repair marble damaged by tape was a "high-end" estimate. An updated report from DOA says a majority of the nearly $350,000 would cover a crew to perform "very limited" restoration on marble as well as landscape restoration.

DOA originally said it would need $7 million to repair damage and between $60,000 and $500,000 just to assess the condition of the building.

Huebsch also says they are concerned whether the number of people in the rotunda could have caused any structural damage or safety issues in the Capitol. Protester numbers inside the Capitol have peaked at around 5,000.

DAVE BRIGGS (co-host): This weekend, the situation there on the Capitol in Wisconsin is they have to clean up the mess left by all of the protesters, and that could actually make the budget worse there in Wisconsin, because it might cost $7.5 million just to clean up -- literally clean up the mess left by all these protesters. And there's a group now forming a committee just to do that.

CLAYTON MORRIS (co-host): Yeah, and, you know, as we're looking at some of these pictures here, and one gentleman we had on earlier, you can see, it's like they took Sharpie and wrote on the marble.

ALISYN CAMEROTA (co-host): Oh, that's horrible.

MORRIS: And, you know, look at this -- they're having to scrub off like Sharpie and marker. Do they not care about their own Capitol building enough that they actually deface it this way?

CAMEROTA: Well, the guest that we had on earlier on Fox & Friends, he's affiliated with the Tea Party, he says it doesn't have to cost that many millions -- I'm going to go out there tomorrow and just bring a bucket and pail, and we're going to try and get our friends together and we're going to go, because we do have pride about our state Capitol -- we're going to go and clean up. He had put it on Facebook and only gotten about 20 -- a response of about 20. Maybe now that he's been on Fox & Friends more people will join him in this effort tomorrow.

BRIGGS: Yeah. He's a Tea Party supporter. The Facebook group is called "it's time to take out the trash," and they are starting out there at one o'clock tomorrow in Madison if you're interested.

So, where's the full report on Fox? The hugely inflated number they harp on on Saturday morning was retracted the night before and yet, no mention of that retraction on Faux. Add to this the footage of violent protesters they had on which was actually a capture of unrelated protests in California and you should see a pattern. Reporting on these protests had to be as unfavorable as possible on Faux - even if that means omitting relevant information or just making shite up. Whatever it takes. This is what earns them their reputation:

Why didn't the lefties clean up their own trash? That's the real question, not the cost of clean-up.
