Fox threatens to do what they already do
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,125436,00.html

"Any news organization that thinks this story is legitimate is opening itself to having its copyrighted material taken out of context for partisan reasons."



I spit up my diet Coke, all over my fancy-pants elitist lap.

1. Like most of what comes out of Fox
That statement is totally incoherent. I have no idea what they are talking about.

7. They're Talking About "Outfoxed"
A new documentary put out by MoveOn. It's on DVD already, top seller at Amazon if I'm not mistaken.

I've ordered mine; it's on the way.

I believe you can order it at www.outfoxed.org

4. Do they have a clue as to what a joke they are?
"If any news organizations decide to make this an anti-FOX News story, then all of their material becomes fodder immediately for possible out of context and biased documentaries."

So it's business as usual for Fox

5. "Anyone Who Opposes Arresting US Citizens as Enemy Combatants
and holding them without charges, trial, or access to a lawyer indefinitely is opening themselves up to being arrested as an enemy combatant and being held without charges, trial, or access to a lawyer indefinitely."



This is the way their logic works.

6. I found this part funny.
Some left because of incompetence, and none expressed concern about editorial policy while employees.

Well duh, maybe they didn't want to lose their jobs?

9. "Some left for incompetence"
No, usually people get fired if they're incompetent. If these people left of their own free will, then I'd recommend they sue Fox for libel :D

10. 24%
answered its news coverage leans towards Democrats here:
http://www.sptimes.com/

FOX News
Do you think Fox News Channel coverage is "fair and balanced"?
*No. I think its news coverage leans towards republicans.
*Yes. I think its news coverage is objective.
*No. I think its news coverage leans towards democrats.


Note: Those falling within the 24% did NOT indicate which alternate universe they resided in.

16. One of the folks in the documentary
responded to the chargest Fox made against him at www.cablenewser.com, he said he expected that they'd attack him and seemed to be rather bemused by the whole thing. Fox is such a joke.
