>However, the lawsuit was not about that. It was about claiming that they were fired for blowing the whistle when they reported FoxNews to the FCC for knowlingly distorting the truth (airing lies).

It's not that they refused to air Monsanto's side. It's that they refused to have the facts they found on the spot removed and replaced with Monsanto's "it's allright, all very healthy and good for you and even cows like it" propaganda. So it was not a case of audiantur et altera pars, it was a case of "shut up and do what our advertisers pay us for".

Weaseling their way out through fine print at a tune of, what, 1.7 million dollars of legal costs just so that the whole story of "we can publish whatever we want - we aren't in the business of reporting the news, or any truth or whatever, we only have to make the space between the ad space interesting so we have the ratings". IOW, whenever they say they are a news channel, they also lie. They are sellers of ad space, and of course, obedient servants of commissar Murdoch.

>Anyway, if you are going to wave the flag then do a google search on the two reporters and read the articles by other journalists and not just the left-wing ones.

I don't care which side do they fly. I remember the case just because I memorized the names as important at the time when it happened. Akre and Wilson may be nazis, as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't checking their party membership cards. So this is not about waving a flag, this is about the pretense that there's a free press. None such - there's paid press, and there's paid press.
