What a farce and a a waste of money (the Lawyers are happy) Whatever they are claiming is probably true for a dozen various news outlets yet they are picking on Fox. Washington, Kalifornia wannabes.

“Time for a class action against CNN. How many businesses are going bankrupt because of their non stop hysteria machine.”

Legal action is long overdue. They operate on OUR airwaves per an FCC license which stipulates they act in the best interest of the country. It also stipulates that they not broadcast false information. ( I am paraphrasing).

Its no surprise to see Fox attacked when its CNN that is acting in Bad Faith on a daily basis.

What if someone got the pleadings and changed the parties to NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc and filed them?

The judge favors the local lawyer/party at the expense of the out-of-towners. Close calls to to the locals. Local guy misses a deadline, judge allows a late filing, etc.

Or if the judge is really good, the out of towners win the pretrial motion skirmishes, and then get cleaned out at the end.

The issue can be mitigated by hiring a respected local lawyer to sit at the table and make small talk in the in-chambers discussions. But at the end of the day, hurting the unpopular out of state party doesn't hurt when it comes to re-election/re-appointment/retention (depending on the state).
