    You’re absolutely right, Paul. They can do what they want. I just hop in the sense of honesty they then pull their slogan, since their coverage would no longer be "balanced."

    Teddy,

    correct me if i am wrong but didnt they get laughed out of court when they tried to sue a man for using that phrase.

    And didnt faux defend suit a reporter who claimed that they were terminated because faux asked them to cook a story by suggesting they have no obligation to be truthful?

    By the film – http://www.OutFoxed.Org – it’s only $9.95 on DVD!

    Then keep an eye on MediaMatters.org, since they have been giving terrific coverage of the "Fair and Balance" one finds on Fox.

    I enjoy Fox, btw. It’s too bad they have to lie and misrepresent themselves. If they merely changed their name to the RNN (Republican News Network) to accurately reflect who and what they are, I’d have *no* problem with them.

    Apparently, however, Americans like Paul don’t care about *real* news anymore. It’s propoganda they are interested in, and thus, they have lost all notion of what is *really* going on in their country and world.

    Apparently, until it bites *them* in the ass, they are very happy with the blissful ignorance. I guess.

    Decide for yourself why that might be.
