So was Jerry Springer, doesn't mean he was any more truthful then they are

This coming from some one who thinks Whale.to is a credible place for information, and vaccines cause diseases while being a giant evil conspiracy.

The FOX crowd equates ratings to accuracy.

Every time one of them chimes in on threads like this they only reinforce the point being made.

FOX watchers, do continue.....

By the facts and the 100 other threads on the subject.
1) it was a Fox local affiliate not fox
2) the lawsuit was IF they LIED, they STILL had the authority to fire the employee. The point being that the reporters OPINION on what she THOUGHT was newsworthy doesnt give her the authority to not do her job..

Isnt it funny that those who claim the right "know less", are the very ones themself proving they are the ones?

Fox News Leaves People Knowing Less...in the Dust.

FOX is so ahead of the game. They are almost always the first to report the big stories.

Not quite. Did you get that spin from Fox Noise?

Quote:
The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, successfully argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
Quote:
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.
