....They rebrand what it is they broadcast.....I agree with Big ED.....Fox has spent a month lighting this fire and they have decided they were not going to cover the Koran burning.....

FOXNEWS is abusing the very freedoms they speak oh so much of....


.....Fox should rebrand it self as the FoxBullshit filled with HATE Channel...

1. Ignorance is curable
FCC does not license in any way the CABLE channel FOX NEWS.

None. Not their jurisdiction and should not be.

Also, FOX NEWS does not have a "license" nor do they need one to be a cable channel.

2. From what I understand they can't because they have no
broadcasting permit, they are not regulated by the FCC because they are a cable channel.

3. The FCC Has No Jurisdiction Over Cable
It's the marketplace. As long as people buy the shit Murdoch throws, he'll keep throwing it. The first ammendment is a damned sticky thing. It states freedom of speech and expression. It doesn't require an affadavit of truth...and hate speech, as abohorant as it is, is also protected. It's the people who consume this crap that are the problem...those who choose to believe this crap and the politicians and corporates who encourage it.

5. Fox News does not broadcast.
It is on cable and cable does not follow the same rules as broadcast.
