Will it be a pinstripe suit?

Your iron-clad arguments and relentless barrage of indisputable facts have
brought me around 180 degrees, I'm throwing out my isolation tank and bong
and going to get a suit fitted. And some Rush albums.

Just in case anyone was still under the assumption that FOX (or any news
station in this country, considering the story below...) had any
journalistic credibility.



Today I read about a very interesting case of 2 fox journalists Steve Wilson
and Jane Akre, reporting about rBGH used in milk even though the advertising
on the milk said there was no bovine growth hormone. Monsanto was very
unhappy about the story coming out and Fox basically fired the journalists.



Wilson and Akre sued and won the suit in front of a jury, regardless FOX
still reported on the news that they had won.



Fox later took the case to federal court where they convinced the judges
that FCC rules about grievous harm to the public done by LYING ON THE NEWS
are only SUGGESTIONS and not enforceable law. Judges agreed, hence setting
the precedent that lying is not really enforceable.



Of course, trying saying F*($ on television and saying that it's just a
silly FCC rule that no one can enforce... lol



Without changing the laws all we have is propaganda.
