Did you know Fox established legal precedent for forcing reporters to lie and give biased reports?

Fair and Balanced? They fired reporters who refused to give undo airtime to corporate spin and to report inaccurately. A conservative, activist court agreed that insubordination to corporate will is paramount to facts when it comes to "news." Does that surprise you?

    Yes - So called "news" sources have the right to lie and spread mis-information. Only moral journalists try to report news so as to inform the public. 24 hour news shows are only interested in ratings.

    Truth is irrelevant.

    I read one of the stories on one link and it is really very interesting, the fired journalist wanted to air a story about monsanto and their selling of cattle hormones to cattle men and they wanted to run the story with out having all the facts (does that sound familiar) and put the station and the Net Work (Fox) at risk of being sued for slander and libel.

    Great pick to try and put down Fox, but just like the other kid earlier today trying to post this garbage, you really should actually read the article before posting the link. .

    If that was true, it would be the lead story on all the Alphabet Networks, since Fox News is #1. OH LOOK! the Alphabet Networks ( all of them) say the economy is getting better.

    Wow liberal blogs for a source im impressed.Fox is # 1 in the ratings,if MSNBC ratings continue to decline they will be a distant memory.

    Funny how they respond to "Fox News is spin" by saying "but its #1 in the ratings!"

    I suppose they have an underdevloped sense of causality.

    No, I did not know Dan Rather worked for Fox.

    So?? I don't really care at ALL what Fox News does or doesn't do. Since I don't watch it, it doesn't affect me in the slightest.

    As long as Fox News continues to support the notion that Dick Cheney is telling the truth, they will look foolish.

    Source(s): Cheney is a greedy warmonger. With many indictments against him. Too bad he will get off. Executive Privelige overrules all lies.
