Heard something interesting on Fox News

[TheFarseer]

A reporter on Fox said, "Seventeen(or however many, not important) people were killed when the Iraqis bombed the World Trade Center in 1993." Iraqis?! I've never heard this before. What, did one of them happen to be Iraqi? I seem to remember it being some Al Quedaish sleeper cell but I really don't remember. Hope this doesn't get any traction.

5. Fox can LEGALLY LIE IN THEIR NEWS

and they fought long and hard for that "right"

On February 14, a Florida Appeals Court ruled that there is absolutely nothing illegal in a major media organisation lying, concealing or distorting information. The court reversed the US$425,000 jury verdict of 2000 that was in favour of journalist Jane Akre, who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and
lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information.

On August 18, 2000, a six-person jury was unanimous in its conclusion that Akre was indeed fired for threatening to report the station's pressure to broadcast what jurors decided was "a false, distorted or slanted" story about the widespread use of Monsanto's rBGH, a genetically engineered growth hormone given to dairy cows. The court did not dispute the heart of Akre's claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers.
