Who create more false stories,the Republicans or the media?

A close call, but my money would be on the Republicans. Although, you have to hand it to Rupert, FOX is the ONLY News Network ever to win the legal right to LIE and call it News.





Here is a direct quote from the story by Mike Gaddy





';FOX appealed the case, and on February 14, 2003 the Florida Second District Court of Appeals unanimously overturned the settlement awarded to Akre. The Court held that Akre’s threat to report the station’s actions to the FCC did not deserve protection under Florida’s whistle blower statute, because Florida’s whistle blower law states that an employer must violate an adopted “law, rule, or regulation.'; In a stunningly narrow interpretation of FCC rules, the Florida Appeals court claimed that the FCC policy against falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a ';law, rule, or regulation,'; it was simply a ';policy.'; Therefore, it is up to the station whether or not it wants to report honestly.';





';During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They 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. After the appeal verdict WTVT general manager Bob Linger commented, “It’s vindication for WTVT, and we’re very pleased… It’s the case we’ve been making for two years. She never had a legal claim.”';Who create more false stories,the Republicans or the media?
Which does FOX count as? The media (excepting FOX) does not usually CREATE false stories, they just disseminate false ones they have been passed by *other groups* who have done the creating, or they mangle stories into being false through incompetence, ignorance, or indifference.Who create more false stories,the Republicans or the media?
definitely not republicans. try the ';other'; party for the ';spins'; that give a positive take on the stories.





When qualified and categorized - these ';Falsehoods'; were just ';spun'; differently,and so are not outright lies.
If I recall, it was the media behind the CBS fake documents, Newsweek Koran desecration hoax, Jayson Blair, and many others.
The Media by far,how can someone say the same thing every 10 minutes EVERY DAY ad nauseum.
The hate driven right. Faux News is a modern day Hatemonger whining program that should be tossed out the window with yesterdays garbage. Its anti american.
