API decided last week to take up a legal battle against Fox News Network, USA and has now finally decided where the case is to be filed.
Fox News Network broke the agreement when they did not air the Michelle Obama tape as was agreed between the two parties.
The names of the two officers attached to Fox News Network will be informed of the case against them on Thursday. While informing them, their names will also be made public following the court documents that will be filed.
During the court proceedings, Fox News Network will get an offer to compensate API hugely and be free from our demands to air the tape, or with a smaller compensation but on condition they air the tape unedited - all the 54 minutes as earlier agreed. It is important taking such action because big news outlets should not think they can ask for monopoly of a tape, or any news item and sit on it, only to decide, due to political thinking to cancel the deal already made.
Summons will be directed against the two Fox News Network employees who initiated the talks that led to the deal and they will be made personally responsible.
API regrets that this has taken long and that it has to end this way - through battling it out in the courts and yet the deal was struck in a good and friendly atmosphere and a shake of hands in New York City after the verification of the tape.

You are making the assumption they are actually suing versus talking out of their a**** like they have about everything else? Why would they sue Fox when, in December, they claimed CIA spies where preventing the tape from being played? They have been making up the story as they go.
None of the above, they are writing a fiction story, probably keeping it going for hits to their blog.
That’s what I figured.
You said — “Maybe it’s not a hoax.”
Well, ole Chief Editor Korir basically let everyone know it was a hoax, being of a type of the Dark Socratic methodology, in which one “punishes” idiots for believing a lie that is so outrageous that they are plainly stupid for doing so.
What is amazing is that ole Chief Editor Korir figures that everyone is still so stupid and idiotic enough, that even after he’s made it clear that he’s punishing the stupid ones (for believing his hoax), he’s going to continue punishing them, because they haven’t been punished enough (because they still believe the hoax... LOL...).
So, that’s the story there...

By the way, ole Chief Editor Korir is related to Obama, by way of some relatives in Kenya... :-) (true...)...
