The only surprise is that they took only 24 hours to decide this.

The whole "investagation" is nothing more than a witch hunt anyway.

MoveOn can now move on to the next phase of their campaign--loudly decrying the Fox-Bush-FTC Unholy Alliance.

I think they should investigate whether the breakfast cereal
Lucky Charms is really "magically delicious."

LOL!! (MoveOn spokesman) "This cereal stereotypes people of Irish decent and rots your teeth. It can't be 'magically delicious!'"

The FTC should investigate moveon.org's use of the name "MoveOn". Based on moveon.org's obsessive and compulsive behavior, they cannot live up to their name.

Amen. I'm still waiting for them to move on from FL 2000.

I have a better suggestion: investigating CNN as "the most trusted name in news".

moveon.org would make a great brand name for toilet paper.

"This cereal stereotypes people of Irish decent and rots your teeth. It can't be 'magically delicious!'" He went on, "If anything, it should be called 'tragically delicious.'"
