The worldwide Left have their knickers in a wad over Fox, probably because Fox has destroyed the steely grip the Leftists had on broadcast news. No surprise that they're resorting to censorship to try to silence Fox.

The Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel, whose determinedly pro-US stance during the Iraq conflict brought it critical notoriety but commercial success, is being investigated by television regulators in Britain for alleged bias.

This is laughable. These people are so threatened by the fact the leftist anti-American creeps no longer have a monopoly in the media.

The independent television commission is investigating nine complaints by viewers of the channel..
1. CNN
2. BBC
3. ABC
4. CBS
5. NBC
6. Al Jazeera
7. La Monde
8. Peter Jennings
9. Dan Rather

Becki, You nailed it.

They are threatening to censor FOX over nine complaints?
They either have an anti-FOX agenda or way too much time on their hands.

Well, here's a bit of info... take note of the last line, he's planning a book about the "myth" of the "Loony Left". My goodness, think he could be a liberal????? ;-)

Looks like he is just another one of those intellectual hypocrits who passionately defends the Freedom of Speech... except when people state information that liberals don't want to get out to the public.

"So if we allow into Britain the kind of journalism represented by Fox, that would bring about a form of censorship ."
 
It's not actually possible that someone said this, is it? My head hurts.
