Fox News actually has standards?
What the hell? Fox refuses to air the Ayers ad? Probably just trying to appease the Democrats before the convention.


"Organizers sought to air the ad on Fox News Channel, but a Fox spokesman said the network declined to run it."

6. He'd then be spun as...
..."a moderate, misunderstood Obama supporter who has been won over by Sen. McDole's all-encompassing package for the future of America"

4. Perhaps Murdoch has seen the writing on the wall with McHouse Gate...
...he doesn't like to be seen as a loser. If that issue picks up traction, Fox will magically morph into a more moderate station until the election is out of the way.

10. Maybe they are catching on to the reasons their stock fell 35% this year.
Viewers are figuring out that they are not so "fair and balanced".

13. It's because they're afraid of being sued. When they're held responsible for their actions,
they automatically back down like the lying cowards they really are.
