What is suppressing the truth?
As Pilot famously asked "what is truth?"
Followed in Jesus Christ Superstar with the question "We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?"
The two reporters involved were not really reporters, a more accurate description would be activist. One of them had already been fired from CNN. They weren't doing a news story, they were doing to hatchet job.
This would be like you doing a 9/11 story on the news.
The editor objected to be biased tone and requested/demanded they seek out alternative points of view to which the activist/reporters refused. So the station fired them. they sued the station on four counts and lost initially on three of them. The only count they won on was the fact the station fired them because they refused to edit their story. However, the definition of edit here is critical. The station wanted alternative points of view and that's what they meant by editing.
incidentally, upon appeal, that loss for the station was tossed out. So the activist did not win on any of their points. The idea that Fox sued to be allowed to lie is a lie in and of itself. Fox did not sue anybody, they were sued and defended themselves.
As I said, if they had filed a brief or presented the argument that they had a first amendment right to lie, you would have a valid point. But they didn't do that. All this is is some bull$hit nonsense about FOXNews. your interest in all this is only because Monsanta is involved. Another topic of which you don't exactly have unbiased view zone.
so let's stop spreading yet another lie on the Internet shall we?
