iFOX NEWS 'surrogates' what they call 'fair and balanced.' Their surrogates are their own people. Fair and balanced implies there is 'equal time' as allowed by law for a person to address subjects FOX reports on.
First it has to be established that the Murdoch network is actually reporting on something other than a movement they have generated. A movement generated in large part by their 'talk radio' networks. Okay?
Being that movement is a political entity in their commentary, it is actually an editorial. Editorials can ask for 'equal time.' Equal time WITHOUT a surrogate.
What O'Reilly is doing is using the 'equal time' concept as a methodology to deception. He states his network allows equal time to coverage of a political event. However, that equal time is surrogated by the same entity making the editorial commentary in the first place, so in the truest sense of the word, it is not equal time, but, simply deception to that fact.
I don't understand why this is such an issue either. It is completely obvious they have no intention of allowing equal time by opposing parties. They 'self define' that capacity and deny access. That is all about control. The Murdoch media networks aren't fair and balanced, they are controlled to ACHIEVE a specific outcome. It is probably. No. It is definitely litigable.
But, that is the last comment about FOX on this blog.
They are hate mongers.
Probably, no definately dangerous hate mongers. Guns? At town meetings?
Just that simple.
I mean the really funny part about what Beck said regarding Van Jones is just ludicrous. To use Mr. Jones as an example, he never appeared on any of the shows where he was being stigmatized and defamed. And that is what Beck is doing to people. He is defaming them. His comment was that he didn't want Jones to quit, but, simply to admit exactly the 'type' of person he was, a communist, a 911 truther, and how did he get so close to the President? That is slander. I don't know why Beck isn't in court over this stuff?
End.
