Fox News Tagline

[yeahwho]

Whats up with that tagline on FOX News? We report, You decide.

Isn't that the least they can do...I mean, what's the option? Am I going to report then wait for them to decide. Is there supposed to be question marks after that tag, We Report? You Decide? Why don't they just get honest and put what they really do.....We Decide, Then Report

Who is that O' Fuctor guy with the ugly disposition and the eyebrows? Why's he so pissy all the time? He's like a mean old man shouting and pouting. I think he's written some childrens books.

Thank you, FOX News, for reminding me that I have the ability to make a decision (with your help, of course).

This should help you understand how truthful Fux is. They went to court six times before they found a judge who ruled it was ok to "lie and distort" rather than be "fair and Balanced."



Florida Court: Broadcasters Have Right to Lie
—


March 10, 2003


A Florida appeals court has overturned a jury verdict against FOX Television for attempting to force two reporters to falsify and distort a 1996 report on the effects of bovine growth hormone (BGH). According to a statement from the Organic Consumers Association, the husband-wife investigative team of Jane Akre and Steve Wilson had spent nearly a year battling with station officials at WTVT in Tampa, Florida, over the content of their BGH report. The award-winning reporters were eventually fired “without cause” when they refused to make certain changes that would have clearly distorted the report. They filed suit in 1998 under the Federal Communications Act and the Florida whistle-blower protection law. While Wilson lost his case, a jury awarded Akre $425,000 in 2001 for wrongful termination. The appeals court overturned that verdict on a legal technicality, accepting FOX’s argument (which had previously been rejected six times by three different judges) that the FCC’s news distortion policy was not a “law, rule, or regulation,” and that Akre therefore did not have a proper claim to whistle-blower protection. Akre and Wilson won the 2002 Goldman Environmental Prize for their efforts to bring their story to light. While the court did not dispute the facts of the case, FOX claims it was “totally vindicated” by the verdict.

aaah a non-beliver in the illusion of fairness

[Whois]

Fox News does not lie. The news programs are not slanted.Some of the opinion programs are slanted. Hannity and Colmes gives both sides of the story. Bill O will also interview 2 people to show 2 sides of the story.

Can you even begin to tell me that CNN is not slanted? (2 of it's reporters now work for the Kerry Camp)

Can you tell me that Larry King is not slanted?

...and you sniff gasoline, so who should we believe again? :D

[STANKY808]

...Can you tell me that Larry King is not slanted?

How dare you! Mr King has very good posture and is never slanted, slouched or even loppsided! You wish you had the posture of Mr. King.

[yeahwho]

Can you tell me that Larry King is not slanted?

Larry King is suspended, not slanted.

[Blighty]

Have many people here watched that 'Outfoxed' documentary? That was some disturbing viewing.

Fox News does not lie. The news programs are not slanted.
Can't believe you would be so ignorant to say that after reading the article I posted above your post.
Then again it's apparent that reading isn't one of your strong points.

[SobaViolence]

Fox News does not lie.

you defy natural selection.

[Blighty]

The media lies. Again and again. It's a proven fact. As do presidents, prime minsisters and anyone in power. As does anyone not in power. Everybody lies.

Except for Jim Carrey in that movie, Liar Liar. He doesn't tell a lie in that movie. Remember after admitting to that cop he was speeding, he also offered up that he had many unpaid parking tickets.

I used to never lie till I got laid. Which is the premise for my movie, Laid Laid.

I think I've seen that one already :P
