Now why should I bother writing to the FCC over Fox's junk journalism?

Mary Anne — 9/19/2004 11:29:19 AM (archived)

It was an example to show that Fox's record on journalistic integtrity has been less than wonderful. They were more than trashed over this by the scientific community.

You might be surprised at the response an FCC controlled by a Republican executive branch would give to your complaint over the document flap. Of course, if you don't want to file a complaint, that's up to you. Heaven help us that someone should actually go to some trouble and get personally involved in the political process. You'd think this was a democracy or something.

It's still not an appropriate subject for a Congressional investigation. It took 3 years to get Congress to look into 9-11. You think a report about documents of dubious lineage is worth burning up Congress's time? Wake up!

Of course, this is a partisan Congress, so maybe they will think that embarrassing the President's opponents is a good way to while away the hours instead of governing the nation.

You can call John Kerry a liar if you want to. Just as I can call George Bush and Dick Cheney liars. Where are the WMD? They existed and were located in specific places. Spin, spin, spin.
