Liberals File Lawsuit Against Fox News


Fox News' use of 'Fair and Balanced' challenged legally
7/19/2004 5:35 PM
By: Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - Two political advocacy groups say Fox News' use of the slogan "Fair and Balanced" is deceptive advertising.

MoveOn.org and Common Cause have filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission to force Fox to stop using the slogan.

The groups say Fox News reports are -- as they put it -- "deliberately and consistently distorted and twisted to promote the Republican Party of the U.S. and an extreme right-wing viewpoint."

A Fox News spokeswoman calls the consumer fraud allegation a "transparent publicity stunt."

Meanwhile, a former FTC lawyer says he sees little chance for the petition -- saying the commission doesn't wade in political waters.

It could take months before the FTC decides if the complaint has merit.

News Fox Lawsuit File Liberals

I find this to be amusing, really. While it is true that Fox News seem to have a conservative point of view, the same can be said for other news stations, eg CNN, which have a very liberal point of view. It is a shame that the Democratic party would stoop to such levels to divert attention to their campaign.

It doesn't surprise me a bit. I'm sure plenty more devious tactics will be used during the campaign -- especially after the political conventions. Another election year is well under way. I'm so glad I don't watch TV!

in my opinion, of course.
