Will Fox EVER have to pay ANY price for their lies?
Twice, in two days, they run obvious lies about Kerry on their Web site - one a fabrication by their own reporter and the other a piece about a Republican-run anti-Kerry group called "Communists for Kerry" that they treated as if it were a real group of Communists.

Will NO ONE hold them to account for this blatant and almost unbelievable anti-Kerry bias? Have they no shame at all? No sense of journalistic ethics and professionalism? Is there NOTHING they won't stoop to, NO LIE they won't run?

I'm scratching my head here. Once, you might just possibly believe was an accident. But twice in two days? Unfuckingbelievable.

2. They'll get away with it until
Kerry guts the FCC. I hear Howard Dean needs a job.

5. That's right.
Kerry will completely revamp and reinvigorate the FCC.

6. That's another reason why the corporate-owned media is so
furiously whoring for BushCo. They know damned well that the second we get back in the White House that the fairness doctrine will be put back in place and that their little media monopolies will be broken up.

That being said, it's become very apparent that we're going to have to be the ones to hold Faux and their corporate cousins accountable. But where do we begin and how do we start?

7. Just derision from anyone who is even a little informed
In a couple of years, when their viewers begin to dwindle, and they start laying off people, their former employees will be like former Arthur Anderson accountants.

They'll be like lepers.
