Again, you don't read anything, so it's a waste of time to discuss it. You are Roger Ailes' dream viewer.
You dont know the difference between an affiliate, and a network, and you stand here believing you have some superior intelligence because you watch MSBNC.. haha.. give it a break..
Ooh wait, they "teach you" how to think.. thats a quote from YOUR link.. not mine.. haha
I dont care.. If you come here to make friends, your life must suck.
No, I just like making fun of Fox News. I think they are the biggest joke on television. Their problem is their viewers are so old, it will be a challenge for them over time.

Again, they told the two employees "We paid $3 billion for these television stations. We will decide what the news is. The news is what we tell you it is."
There are also more registered democrats than republicans. I am not sure why FOX is so popular. I will admit that in spite of the heavy bias and hate-mongering, the presentation of the news on FOX is quite entertaining.
I think the basic recipe is to entertain cranky old white conservative men with big breasted bimbos. They sit in their recliners, pop Viagra, and enjoy their day

So they paid for the affiliates and said they control the information the affiliates will report.
And you display your ignorance over and over again, they pay for CONTENT, not the stations. Its not my fault if you have to watch MSNBC to be "taught" how to think and to be told how to make a fool of yourself. Employees are employees of the affiliates, and thats what the lawsuit was about, an EMPLOYEE dispute, which had NOTHING to do with Fox

You are hopeless. The content is the point. The lawsuit was about the content. The content was the lie. The content was what was disputed. The content is what Fox said they have the right to lie about. But feel free to keep trying.
During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/1...o-why-so-pissy

No it wasnt.. Read the lawsuit rather than reading the left wingers LIE to you and spin it..
The lawsuit was about FIRING a reporter who refused to do her job, over what she BELIEVED to be a lie.. Fox said they had a right to fire her, regardless to it being a lie or not.
I dont need to keep trying, clearly I'm far more educated on the topic than you, but then I didnt go to bloggers for my "news", like you did.

Thats EXACTLY what I said, and this doesnt even support your claim, it says they HAVE A RIGHT TO LIE.. where does it admit they lied? You are actually providing evidence that you are wrong. But hey, you watch MSNBC who tells you how to think and what it says, because you clearly cant think for yourself.

Hey, I can get the story from thousands of sources. The story has been printed everywhere for over ten years. But the reason the reporters were fired was because they didn't want to LIE. Keep trying.
Akre and Wilson sued the Fox station and on August 18, 2000, a Florida jury unanimously decided that Akre was wrongfully fired by Fox Television when she refused to broadcast (in the jury's words) “a false, distorted or slanted story” about the widespread use of BGH in dairy cows. They further maintained that she deserved protection under Florida's whistle blower law. Akre was awarded a $425,000 settlement. Inexplicably, however, the court decided that Steve Wilson, her partner in the case, was ruled not wronged by the same actions taken by FOX.

Wrong.. The reporter was fired for not doing her job.. You can post all of the left wing kook stories you wish, which is pretty funny considering none of them even support their titles.
No where did Fox admit they lied or distorted the news, they admitted they have a RIGHT to lie..
But hey, continue to be told how to think because you cant think for yourself and comprehend the difference.. Thats sad
