Fair and Balanced
When Al Franken's Book first went to Press, Fox news sued over the inclusion of "Fair And Balanced" in the title, claiming they owned the trademark on the words.
Anyone who saw Fahrenheit 9/11 may be more interested in Fox News explaining why a Fair and Balanced network had a cousin of one of the candidates make the decision to call the Florida race in 2000 rather than an article pointing out discrepencies in Moore's film.
Of the 3 news networks' websites-- MSNBC, CNN, FoxNews-- only Foxnews is reporting about the "flaws".
If foxnews is fair and balanced, I should be allowed to sell cocaine as long as I call it 'harmless white powder'.
