Fox News concerned about possible reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine.

[dubeskin]

1. Let them have their fun tonight, becaue come January

They're going to be screwed with it.

[spanone]

2. but but i thought they were 'fair and balanced' why should a fairness doctrine bother them?

:sarcasm:

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. *produces an egg* Suck it, FAUX!!

[muntrv]

4. They're gonna lose their monopoly of speech.

[DinahMoeHum]

5. Good. Hope they're pissing their pants about it.

:popcorn:

[DJ13]

6. Wouldnt hurt their cable channel, but their Sunday news show would be in trouble

Fairness sucks, doesnt it?

[AspenRose]

7. They should be.

[Dappleganger]

8. Someone should at least play a trombone in their news room...

it's like a damn funeral procession.

[nomaco-10]

9. That's rich coming from those assholes. LMAO too. n/t

[mzmolly]

19. I must admit

I'm enjoying their long faces. ;)

:hi:

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Boo fucking hoo

[peace frog]

11. I just f*cking bet they are!

SUFFER, you tools! :evilgrin:

[yardwork]

12. I'll bet they are.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. May their worst fears come true...

:evilgrin:

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. They should be more worried about Rupert having to sell off the network

Because he owns too goddamn much of the media, and the laws that say so need to be either enforced if they still exist, or reinstated if they don't. (And I'm too drunk right now to remember which it is, or look it up. :beer:)

[begin_within]

15. wouldn't the Fairness Doctrine put Fox News out of business?

[Lil Missy]

25. Uhm, probably. They rely on whipping the ignorant into a frenzy by baffling them with bullshit.

[LynnTheDem]

16. But gee, wouldn't that put a stop to that damn "liberal media"???

ROTFLMAO!!!

[maryallen]

17. Boy, that didn't take long.

[sakabatou]

18. So many babies at Fox Snooze

[Gregorian]

20. ROFL

I had to say rofl.

[Lil Missy]

21. OMFG NO! Fair? They can't possibly win that way! n/t

[Blondiegrrl]

22. I'm terribly concerned about their concern. nt

[mzmolly]

23. I'm concerned about your concern over their concern.

:P

[whistle]

24. To be fair to FOX News we should put their minds at rest regarding the fairness doctrine

...as it will no longer apply to them, their corporate and affiliate broadcast licenses will be revoked along with all other rights to represent themselves as news organizations. They will be reclassified as comic strip tabloids. Rupert Murdock should also have all rights revoked to do business of any kind within the U.S. just like Meyer Lansky was :grr::hurts: :nopity:

[blossomstar]

27. Excellent obituary for faux news!

[Left Is Write]

26. Why on earth would the self-proclaimed "fair and balanced" network be concerned

about the Fairness Doctrine?

*blink blink*

[spooky3]

28. I would not want to be launderer at Fox - lots of shit in pants tonight.

[Catshrink]

29. Suck it up, Boys.

[Hawkeye-X]

30. I want to see Faux shut down.

No more O'Lielly, no more Hannity, no more Beck.

[Hepburn]

31. Fuck Fox, it sux! n/t

[samsingh]

32. i bet they are - like criminals are afraid of prison.

[Festivito]

33. If they cannot stand a differing opinion, find them a new country.

I think every ad should have the opposing side paid for with the ad. If ones point is not salable enough to withstand this, maybe the point needs a rework, not the ad.

[mmonk]

34. .

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

:party:

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Well ... yeah!

They damned well should be!

[ITsec]

36. As a former broadcaster...

I fucking hope so.

I also hope they tighten the ownership rules as well. One company owning and controlling the programming of 1,100 radio stations, in 300 cities in all 50 states simultaneously is insane.
