Clever use of language by Fox, no:
Armed protesters at national wildlife refuge say government force would risk lives.
By all means, it wants to portray its (Fox News') terrorists as protesters. I might go so far as to say, its (Fox News') traitors.
My usage of the term traitor is not hyperbolic, because I believe in supporting the police and according to the Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward:
"These men came to Harney County claiming to be part
of militia groups supporting local ranchers, when in reality these men
had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal
government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States,"
I commend the reactionary movements and Republican Party's
Völkischer Beobachter, on its skill.
Interesting technical point, Fox News' title for this article on its web site is "Armed protesters at national wildlife refuge say government force would risk lives", though the metadata means that a direct post to facebook would referred to "Armed Militia".
