Abstract: FTC chairman Timothy Muris said he sees no way for his agency to investigate the fairness or accuracy of Fox News' slogan, "Fair and Balanced," without getting into First Amendment territory where the commission doesn't belong.

Just a little bit more Soros doe down the John Crapper!
What George doesn't realize is that he pledged his self, and his fortune, to the biggest spending a$$%oles to come down the pike. They'll spend his money like it's HIS money.
There is justice in this world.....IN THIS WORLD!

Just typical mud-slinging.... throw as much as you can no matter how false and a little bit sticks more each time. They never wanted or expected the suit to work, they are just slinging more stench at the right.

Quite frankly, after these months, I will take just ONE bad day for a lefty.
It feels good just for them to have one really awful day.

I think they should investigate whether the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms is really "magically delicious."Indeed it is. The dirty little secret is that without that magic it tastes horrible.

Seeing this post gives me food for thought! You know MSNBC is planning almost full time coverage of the Demcorat Convention. I urge all freepers and like minded folks to boycott any MSNBC coverage, no matter what. MSNBC will get crummy viewership numbers at best, but we can make it even worse. Stick only with Fox News if you plan to watch. As for me, there will be no viewing of the convention at all! This is a non-event not worth watching! these people are "traitors"!

Nor will it investigate the DNC theme.

This is the correct decision. It's been a good couple of days.

I think Moveon.org needs a major movement; they are so full of it.

Fair and Balanced = Objective Journalism. Those relying on the propaganda emanating from ABCBSNBCNN don't like it.

I think they should investigate whether the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms is really "magically delicious." Maybe they could join with Lionel Hutz in his suit against the makers of the movie "The Neverending Story".
