George Bush should have been impeached during his first term since he cheated on the election only to make America suffer.

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.

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.

Ugh again with this. It was a LOCAL station NOT, repeat NOT Fox News Channel.

Oh yes because everyone knows that Media Matters is a bipartisan outlet and never lies or omits stuff right?

I think you just broke the record for most inaccurate claims in one post.

How have the Republicans "robbed the poor?"

Bush didn't need to "cheat" in the election because he won in the first place! It was the Gore camp who attempted to cheat by trying to change the rules after an election and by having the certification deadline extended. And by trying to have the overseas military absentee ballots thrown out.
