Liberal political action group MoveOn.org is planning a Monday morning news conference in New York City, where they
and Fox News Channel. The suit will claim that Fox is misleading the public by using the term "fair and balanced" to describe it's network coverage.
The war of words continues.

I would love to say that this has a snowball's chance of succeeding, but with some of the ridiculous rulings courts have made of late, you never know.

Boy, these stupid liberals will fund anything. You would think they learned a lesson from FOX when they sued Franken. These "silly suits" only help the opponent by giving free publicity. There is actually a study that says that Fox Special Report is the most balanced news program on TV.

Will Michael Moore ever get sued for his horrendous misuse of the word documentary?

Folks, this is good news.
MoveOn feels threatened by the slogan! I like that. Plus, the negative publicity generated for MoveOn will be priceless.

FOX should counter-sue for wasted time. This is one of those cases where the plaintiff should be liable for the defendant's legal bills if the plaintiff loses. Plus a penalty for filing a frivilous suit.

There is no such thing as integrity anymore. This only proves to justify Fox News and lets me know that they really are fair and balanced if such unfair and unbalanced organizations are threatened by their news coverage. If FNC isn't really fair or balanced then how do they explain shows like Hannity and Colmes or The O'Reilly Factor? Whose display of both liberal and conservative guests, views and the like are a staple of the shows. Why not go after ABC, CNN, or NPR? The hypocrisy is overwhelming!
They(FNC)are the big kid on the block now and so are receiving the brunt of attacks, making them out to be the media bully, no doubt spawned or encouraged by their competition.

Those observant types among you will note two things:
1) that the first part of my message is missing - yes I was too long winded.
2) more importantly the democracy now dot org link appears to have been included in my post even though I state that such things are censored and not allowed in posts here. FYI, I added a tag in between "democracy" and "now" with the words "take this out" inside it. This tag allowed my post with the URL intact to pass by the censoring check but sometime after the censor was passed my post was run through a filter which removed html tags from it. That's why the supposedly prohibited link appears here.
Providence has apparently cast some light in my direction but only for so long as it takes one of the bookburners here to have my post stricken from the record. You who go on and on about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, prove it by keeping my post up.
