::::According to Wiktionary, "promoter" means "someone who advocates or urges on behalf of something". It does not necessarily include any form of remuneration. The Politico article does accuse Fox of advocating support of Tea Parties in this sense and thus fits under the rubric "promoter". As a Wikipedia editor, I don't care if the opinion expressed by Politico is fair or even correct. Politico is a "reliable source" (in the context of the news, this means a mainstream press organization) so it trumps anything we editors have to say about Fox News. If you think (or I think) that Politico is incorrect or unfair, it doesn't matter. All that matters is opinions expressed in other, reliable news sources. 

 ::::For example, you say above "Fox News reported on the tea party protests as did the European news shows and newspapers. The networks, being partisan, as well as their cable channel sisters, did not." OK, where's your reference? What secondary source claimed that the networks are partisan on this issue? Please provide valid references to these statements otherwise I'll have to conclude that these are just your own, personal opinions, which, as I've said, don't matter to a Wikipedia article. 

 ::::Even if I were sure that there was "a Mainstream Conspiracy of the Liberal Press Establishment" on this subject, I couldn't do anything about it in Wikipedia. Since this "conspiracy" would control the majority of news outlets, I, as an editor, am honor-bound to report the news in proportion to the percentage of reliable news sources that are expressing a certain viewpoint.
