1. I hope the Dems sue Fox News . . . seriously.
Fox cannot hide behind the "oh, gee, it wasn't malicious and we 'apologize' for our f***-up!" so-called retraction.

11. If people can get
Dan Rather, why not Fox? They've done a few things now so far. Mr. Rather just did one thing, so people want him fired. :eyes:

There's more, here: http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Fox_News

As I said in my above post here in this DU thread, Fox News presents distorted "entertainment" as so-called "news" containing untruths that they try to pass off as factual truthful news. Right down to its trademark of "fair & balanced" which, as intelligent people know, is not fair and balanced news by any stretch of the imagination.

Fox should be sued for defamation (libel) and thwarted from attempting to hide behind the "malicious intent" legal loophole as it has in its many so-called "retractions" of the past.

13. Well it's Hard Work!
Terribly hard!
Sitting at a desk. Typing. Lifting the phone receiver.
Back breaking work.

Almost as hard as watching war on the Tee-Vee.

Almost as hard work as chopping off hands!

*singing* Nobody knows the trouble I've seen...

Everyone, don't forget that Carl Cameron's wife campaigns for Bush. Just a little FYI if you didn't know that already. :)
