Monday, July 12, 2004 Any news organization that thinks this story is legitimate is opening itself to having its copyrighted material taken out of context for partisan reasons. The illegal copyright infringement actions of Moveon.org in cooperation with the New York Times, including “cutting a deal” not to give FOX News Channel adequate time to react, is unprecedented. The New York Times corrupts the journalistic process by taking orders from a George Soros-funded web site – Soros is a left-wing billionaire currency speculator who funds many liberal efforts. This is the real story. If any news organizations decide to make this an anti-FOX News story, then all of their material becomes fodder immediately for possible out of context and biased documentaries. The former low-level FOX employees are hardly worth addressing. Some of the “sources” for this documentary never worked for FOX News Channel. Some left because of incompetence, and none expressed concern about editorial policy while employees. They represent fewer than 10 employees out of 2,000 over 8 years. Any news organization that believes this story is big and FOX News Channel is a problem will be challenged by FOX News Channel in the following manner: If they will put out 100 percent of their editorial directions and internal memos, FOX News Channel will publish 100 percent of our editorial directions and internal memos, and let the public decide who is fair. This includes any legitimate cable news network, broadcast network, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post.

Yeah - FOX should have kept its powder dry and just started the real detailing of bias after the initial charges from the "driven snow" NY Times.
I love it... The whole democratic party is backing this wacko Greenwald, not realizing that their credibility is now shot. Greenwald is an extremist, and MoveOn.org is even worse. I wouldn't trust them with my empty beer cans...
What you have here is a bunch of soreheads who simply do not like that Fox News unlike a lot of it's competitors doesn't present liberal or progressive viewpoints as representing neutrality. Apparently, if you don't present the news in this way, you're not a legitimate news organization.
The reality whether anybody wants to accept it or not is people are getting sick and tired of liberal and progressive viewpoints being presented as representing neutrality. They want change and there is no way they're going to accept this kind of reporting anymore.
Fox News is the most watched of all the TV news organizations broadcast and cable. That's not going to change and no Democrat party or movon.org hack movie is going to change people's attitudes or choices about where they get their news.
If I as a news and information consumer want to watch Fox News or listen to Newstalk Radio or get my news from Free Republic, that's my own business and nobody else's Where I and ther people get our news should be left up to us and not these Bill Clinton types.
I for one will not vote for or coooperate with any politician or anybody else that has a problem with me getting all my news from Fox News or Conservative talk radio or the internet. These idiots are no friends of mine and they're certainly not my neighbors.
Regards.
This is a media war which will be a pleasure to watch unfold. The Left doesn't know what they are getting themselves into. Any exposure of their agendas will slowly wake up the public to what has been going on for over half a century.
I just found out this turd is already available on DVD! I thought this was supposed to be a theatrical release. All this attention for some straight-to-video garbage? It's funny, they laugh at the lawsuit Fox News threatened against Stuart Smalley. I laugh at this lame "action" in the war on Fox News.
Heh. In another forum, this guy was trying to illustrate Fox News bias by saying, "O'Reilly - fair and balanced? No, it's propaganda!" Heh. If someone can't even tell the difference between an opinion show and news. . . .
