Faux News Calls for class action lawsuit against Al Gore's movie

[brettdale]

They reckon, Al Gore should have to give people back thier money for the lies in his movie, hows that for being fair and balanced.

[RiverStone]

1. Fuck Faux! ...anybody wanna second that?... n/t

[Pastiche423]

22. I'll second that - Fuck FOX!

They are terrifued that Al Gore will enter and WIN the presidential race.

On DFA's presidential poll, Al Gore is at 30.57%. Higher than any of the announced candidates.

Please vote if you haven't:

23. I'll third that!

Fuck 'em.

[agincourt]

2. Just like the F911 "lies"

that were just made up shit or so peripheral to the issue that they didn't mean anything. Faux is Murdochs propaganda organ, nothing else.

[sakabatou]

3. Thge pot calling the kettle black

[Deja Q]

4. I propose a class action lawsuit against FOX because Star Wars is a pack of lies too.

I don't mean how Han no longer fires first, but how Star Wars is fiction and is full of lies and has nothing to do with reality too.

The problem with FOX is that Al Gore has never made a "fair and balanced" motto or anything else. Al did not have to include any other viewpoints other than his own. Their suit is baseless.

(and, yes, there are things I will question... but those are separate topics.)

[AlCzervik]

5. He won the Nobel, get over it Faux.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. That's what's making them crazy.

That, and the fact that he could blow Hillary out of the water anytime he decided to get in the race, so they're getting some pre-emptive slime shots in now, just to keep him reminded of how much he hates running.

[AlCzervik]

9. Faux is so petty, like a bunch of junior high mean girls minus the brains.

[spanone]

7. bwahahahaaa...they can't stand it he got the fucking NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

[jeff30997]

8. They call for action lawsuit because they think the movie is full of lies ?

Fine! Then I call for class action lawsuit against Murdoch because he's full of shit!

[Beelzebud]

10. We should file one against them for their false advertising. They aren't news.

[VP505]

29. Don't forget

their "Fair and Balanced" lie, should be easy to prove that one as a lie.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

11. We could all get rich if we sued FAUX based on O'Liely's show alone.

If the criteria is truth, Billo defies that standard almost every time he speaks.

[Luminous Animal]

12. Yes! I demand my .045 cents.

I read that there a thousands of facts in the movie. I settle for 2000 facts. My movie ticket cost me $10, so Al Gore owes .0005 per "error" equaling .045 total.

[SlowDownFast]

13. Bring it on.

Methinks Gore's people know how to handle repiglickan/corporate/fascist smear tactics.

Fuck Faux Noise.

[Initech]

14. How about a class action suit against Fox for not reporting real news?

[tsuki]

18. That's been done. Fox won the right to tell lies. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

31. ... which will be used as the precedent served against the plaintiff in the class action lawsuit

:rofl:

The FUX Noise viewers are such suckers. :D

[Horse with no Name]

15. They want to start swiftboating him because of the momentum

that is building for a Gore run.
They will do everything to take him down at the knees now.
They have their sights set on Hillary.
They already have ammunition ready to swiftboat her, they'd rather not change horses in midstream.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. Fox news did?

Or just some idiot ON fox?

[Didereaux]

17. that tells you just HOW scared those bastards are of Gore n/t

[Dewlso]

19. faux noise

The hypocrisy runs thick at newscorp. On one side you have faux noise claiming Global Warming is "junk science" (just as the bush admin. told them) and on the other side you have National Geographic saying Global Warming is a fact. Both outlets owned by newscorp. Sounds like murdock is hedging his bets.

Odd part is that murdock wants his companys to become compliant with global warming initiatives. Guess the talking heads at faux noise missed that memo.

[Vanje]

20. Hope it goes as well as Fox's suit against Al Franken did

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/08/12/entertainment/main567800.shtml

'"Publicity surrounding the case helped boost Franken's book to the top of the Amazon.com best-seller list. Penguin rushed the book into stores early and ordered additional copies printed after being sued. "

[monktonman]

21. Dditn twentieth century FOX put out an action movie

about global warming a few years ago?
what was it called??

[cstanleytech]

34. It was called

The Day After Tommorrow.

[monktonman]

35. yeah thats it

I often wondered why they would put out a movie like that.
Then I saw it.
It was totally over the top and outragious.
After leaving the theatre, I realized that they put it out there
so when people start really believing in climate change,
the foxbots would turn around and say "aw, come on, you've been watching too many movies."
-my 2 cents.

[AZBlue]

24. On that premise, Fox News owes me $$$$$$

I pay for cable service that includes Fox News, so I want them to refund that part of my cable bill since their broadcast is so full of lies.

[pacalo]

25. I'll take "Desperation/Jealousy" for one dollar, Alex.

Faux News took the cake a long time ago; nothing it claims or stirs up surprises me anymore.

[SeattleGirl]

26. I think the Right is on full red alert. They know Bush is a piece of

shit, the country is falling apart under his watch, the military is being decimated, the economy is being flushed down the toilet, and people are leaving the Repuke party in droves, so they are ratcheting up the rhetoric, piling on the threats, and screeching at the top of their lungs, all in a losing effort to keep the upper hand.

Uh, fellas? I don't think it's working........

[WolverineDG]

27. LOL

Can't have a lawsuit if you don't have some plaintiffs who can prove they went to see the movie & were harmed by it. :rofl:

But if they make it past that stage, I hope the Gore team uses the "Faux can lie with impunity" decision on their asses. Hoisted on their own petard. :evilgrin:

dg

[VP505]

32. Now that

would really be funny. Law suit dismissed because the plaintiff is known to lie with impunity.

[HuffleClaw]

28. seriously? n/t

[graywarrior]

30. They act like fifth graders.

[bullwinkle428]

33. And these bastards had the balls to call Gore a sore loser in 2000!!!

Oh, the irony... :nopity:

[Raejeanowl]

36. Well, If They Want Us To Sue Gore For "Lies"...

What do they think the public should be cooking up for Fox's bizarro-world version of the truth, hmmm???

I do wish they'd just come out and proudly display their GOP imprimatur!
