| Can we get rid of Fox News after we win the election? |
|
Seriously, we need laws that place stringent requirements on what can be labeled as "news". Same thing for truth in advertising ala the "Fair and Balanced" label.
A lawsuit against Fox, I believe it was in Florida, actually sided with Fox and said that news does not have to be truthful. They can say anything they want and call it news.

| 2. um... historically, this idea of objective journalism is something odd... |
|
read some of the early 19th C and early 20th C papers.... there are some archives of them online.
I may not like what they say, but they have the right to say it, and I will defend to my death their right...
strengthening the libel and slander laws, and the truth in advertising laws however.....

| 4. I just watched "Outfoxed" last night (the dvd expose on FOX) |
|
Even though it was "preaching to the choir" it STILL was an eye opener. I had to stop watching every so often so I could BREATHE.
