Fair and Unbalanced

Fox News can legally lie to you.  A Florida Appeals court ruled in favor of Fox News, owned by media baron Rupert Murdock, that there is nothing illegal about lying or distorting information by a major press organization.  Their main defense was the first amendment.  Talk about fair and balanced!

But you won’t hear this in Fox news.  You’ll get it from bloggers, underscoring the power of the Web as the real champion of freedom of speech.  So let’s keep it that way.  Don’t let big money turn the Internet into a place like Fox News where the truth is tainted by corporate and special interests.  Support Net Neutrality.  For more info see my post at:

Personally, I feel like I get more news on the “tube” from Comedy Central!
