Amendmeant

Fox News have proven once again they are the only news giant with the cajones to live up to their “fair and balanced” tagline – by balancing truth with lies.

Fox’s lovable lawyers won a court case arguing “the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.”

That’s right, Fox finally brought free speech to journalism. Just as a great novel tells a far more poignant truth through imaginary events, so does Fox News. They’re basically the War and Peace of journalism (minus that extraneous “Peace” nonsense).

A Florida Appeals court ruled  against fired journalist Jane Akre (lesbian baby-puncher), who alleged she “was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information.” And she didn’t even say thank you. Instead, she took Fox to court – all for showing her how to (ab)use her 1st Amendment rights.

Some argue that new organizations should be held to a stricter standard than the general public, and furthermore, as the so-called “4th branch of government,” that we can’t trust them to keep the politicians honest when blah, blah, blah… halfway through one of these rants I tend to practice my 1st Amendment right to zone out.

Fox and their lawyers realize that we must protect our right to free speech at ALL COSTS. Except of course the cost of possibly losing viewers in key demographics. One look at Fox’s ratings will tell you the viewers don’t lie… so Fox lies to the viewers.
