Grass roots, and 'right-wing' are not mutually exclusive terms. Further, simply because FreedomWorks supports the Tea Parties, doesn't mean it isn't grass roots. If it wasn't grass roots, Freedom Works could support it all they wanted, and no one would show up. The fact people are taking time out of their busy lives, to come let their voices be heard, indicates they are grass roots. These are not welfare people, or homeless people bussed in from other states, like you see the democrats do often.
Do you need another 'grow up' moment? First time in years? It was 1992 that Clinton had a democrat controlled house and senate. He lost both, and then Bush became president. So really... big deal.
You do understand the difference between a commentator, and a news reporter? Right? Or don't you?
This is a news report by a reporter.

Notice how he simply reports (shocking) what's going on.

Now this is Glenn Beck. Beck is not a reporter, he's a commentator. Notice how he is commenting on what's going on? He's also support it.
Now as far as Fox News goes... I think the important question is less about why is Fox News covering mass rallies all over the country, but rather, why are they the only ones covering the mass rallies all over the country? Fox is covering this so much, because no one else is.
What is really being shown, is the obvious media bias against these events. What you really point out, is not that Fox is partisan, but that everyone else is partisan. Everyone else is completely ignoring the voices of the people in rallies all over the nation, while Fox is doing something extraordinary... known as 'reporting'.
Another thing you might notice from the second clip, is the two mothers who organized the Orlando tea party? Not exactly the Republican Billionaires your idiot Krugman said, eh?
