This isn't about our shop, but it is important, and it affects everyone in the country, and the world for that matter.
Can you believe it!
"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."

I don't know about you, but this chills me to the bone, since if most people believe what they see on TV is true, and if TV _NEWS_ is allowed to lie, then where are we headed?
It used to be no news agency could knowingly publish a false story. It was abuse of position, and power, and of the people's trust.
This is something we all need as a society to speak out against, or we will have no way to know that what we are hearing is even _probably_ true!
For instance, how do we *really* know N. Korea set off a nuclear bomb, if our news channels are *NOT* obligated to tell the truth? And, if they only report what Big Brother Bush tells them to?
Oh my. What a slippery slope we have headed down these past 6 years! And it's amazing how all this stuff is being blamed on the previous 8!
