Fox went to court to obtain the right to lie and an appeals court upheld that right in a case involving two Fox reporters who wanted to tell the truth but were prohibited from doing so by their employer, Fox. Case involves reporters Akre and Wilson, look it up. Why is it important that Fox be granted the right to lie on their newscasts? Why would they even want that? Do you feel comfortable knowing that Fox thought it was important to establish the legal right to lie to you, their audience? Maybe there is a good side to this, I'd like to hear it, if there is one. Thanks!

It had to do with reporters wanting to tell viewers that a hormone was banned in Europe because it causes cancer, and not being allowed to by their employers. The courts stand up for cancer. Compassionate conservatism.

So just to be clear, you folks who are standing up for Fox's right to lie are fine in this case with not being told that a product you might be using can give you cancer. Is that correct?

Obviously you have not yet reached the stage of true doublethink. The key to being a good proletarian is to understand that the Republican Party's truth is the only truth, that there is actually no reality outside that which the Republican Party tells you there is. Fox News needs access to your personal telescreen so that it can make you understand this. If you continue to commit thoughtcrime, the Thought Police will have to take you away to the Ministry of Love and alter your sick, twisted mind, curing it of the delusion that the real world exists.

Because in the Fox News viewpoint, it's always better to embellish things with a little white lie every day--rather than to simply tell the truth.
It's good for ratings. :0)

I only watch the Spanish news channel. I don't speak a word of Spanish and I never get upset watching the news. Plus they have some real nice young women on their news.

You are a brainwashed -try thinking for yourself, actually watch FOX they give a fair reporting of the news. Maybe you prefer to be bottle fed the news - the other networks will lie to us too. We know what they want us to know, when they want to tell us.

If what you say is true it doesn't make me happy.
It's just one more reason to get your information from many different sources and then come to your best conclusion of what is really true, -based upon everything which is available to you.

Fox News does not lie.
What you post is fully false.
You provide no source or a website link that backs up what you say.
Fox news voices both democrat and conservative opinions, unlike CNN and MSNBC and BBC.
Good day to you!

You need to stop reading Daily Kos. Come to the real world. Fox is hated becuase they give conservatives a voice unlike all the other networks.
