Why are they even considered a reliable news source anymore? They report false storys, they spin stuff and they talk a lot of dribble.

Who the hell believes this junk? I can't see HOW fox news is managing to get away with this, is there not some sort of law stopping them from reporting BS? They wouldn't even apologies for the mass effect crap despite being proven to be wrong, how is that fair? There not news there scum, they report lies to scare people, disgraceful.

In America, we have something called "Freedom of the Press." Sad, but true.

So in America, i can print a newspaper and declare Bush is a homosexual and enjoys Kangeroo ***? And it'll be fine despite being a blatant lie?

Or perhaps i could declare Fox News spreads AIDs in Africa, and they'd -not- sue me silly over it?

Most likely, yes. But you'll be getting lots of hate mail.

Actually, no. There are laws against libel and slander.

It's just that no one takes Fox News to court over things like this.
