1. Hahahah..good. Hit Murdoch where it hurts.

[Dickie Flatt]

5. Bad.

Murdoch deserves a lot, but fines for this shit are absolutely wrong. I can't believe we let the government get away with what amounts to censorship of the broadcast media.

[kikiek]

7. At least they are going after him too. It might help change it.

25. I'm not familiar with this reality show? What was so bad about this one .

as compared to "The Bachelor" (gag), "The Real World" (which is becoming a porn show for the MTV crowd), and other reality shows?

[RimskyZoi]

8. I reluctantly agree....

although I would love Fox taken to task as often as possible, I don't want to set a precedent for "backlash" censorship with the mainstream media.

I believe in their rights to print/show what they wish,....

just not the "pretense" that they are "fair and balanced".

17. Yaaaa...but its Murdoch...

Let's just over look it this one time... :evilgrin:

2. lol

worse than janet's fine.

[MsUnderstood]

3. Wow, if this is what they get for married by america

I can't wait to see what Casino gets them hit with!

Swingers
Bachelor/Bachelorette parties
recruiting young women to be personal escorts
street Racing through vegas
Swimsuit models bowling with ugly rich white men

6. All of those..............

traditional Conservative "family values". It always cracks me up. These dipshits believe that FOX News is "fair and balanced" but ignore all of their other seedy, filthy, smarmy programs that are as far away from their "traditional values" as a network could possibly be. They're being used by Murdoch and they're too stupid to realize it.

[denverbill]

9. That's why they are called neo-cons.

They aren't remotely conservative.

[SoCalDem]

19. Family Values= Porky's Values

The Fox/WB shows tend to be juvenile, prurient NONSENSE.. They are advocating 14 yr old male fantasy-life.. Pure and simple..

drinkin',whorin',partyin',strippin' nekkid, racin', disrespectin' wimmin.. it goes on and on and on..

[yardwork]

21. That sounds just like chimpy!

Fox obviously broadcasts what chimpy likes to see.

[w4rma]

4. I'll believe it when I see it. Nonetheless, Fox runs the **most** indecent

shows of any network. By far. In fact, I really can't think of *any* from the other networks. But with Fox, I can think of several.

[mzmolly]

23. Exactly, they are the most smarmy intellectually bankrupt station EVER.

:hi:

[Yunaleska]

10. This is a joke

Fox makes this much money every 10 minutes.

[liveoaktx]

11. Interesting that it was only 159 complaints that got them fined....

That's less complaints than usual shows.
I say we assinate the idiots running our government.

Go second amendment.



Perhaps Agent Mike and his pals need to pay this guy a visit.

[Tansy_Gold]

14. I think most of the idiots running our government have already

been assinated. Some of them like Hastert were just born asses, but others became assinated later in life. Tom Delay probably got assinated from inhaling all those pesticides, Wolfowitz learned assination in college. I don't know how to unassinate anyone. I'm not sure it can be done.

But we gotta elect Kerry and deassinate the government.


Tansy Gold, who loves to make fun of freepers' mutilation of the language.

22. Post of the day!

13. How Big a Fine for "Hannity & Colmes"???

:shrug:

[Lefty48197]

16. Did they get fined for showing Coulter's face?

.

[GHOSTDANCER]

18. 159 complaints? Out of how many viewers? God forbid they show a little ass

they should be fined for impersonating Journalists.

[mzmolly]

24. I don't appreciate them showing "ass" unless male "ass" get's equal time.

:P
