[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 838497, member: 17969"] Moreluck, Tell us what you know about laws and journalism. We can all agree that John Edwards is, was and should always be considered a :censored:bag, but the laws are in favor of media LIARS. Lets look at FOX news, the biggest LIARS in todays journalism both in print and television. They were sued for running false stories on air by former reporters, and the florida state appeals court ruled that fox had the "right" to air false stories under the first amendment. Jane Aykre, a former reporter brought the lawsuit and FOX argued deliberately that it has a right to "LIE". [COLOR=blue]"In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"Fox" argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre's claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so."[/COLOR] [SIZE=3][COLOR=black]Cases like the FOX news case disproves your theory about "laws" preventing printed or aired lies.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Todays american media has defined political leanings.
