Yeah, and that's why they are the run-away NUMBER 1 news network. Put that in your pipe....

Folks love a good fiction story. The dumb ones believe it to be fact.

It's like reading Lord of the Rings and thinking Middle Earth is a real place.

So you correlate news accuracy with ratings?

This is why fox is #1, I guess.

Maybe, I wouldn't know because I don't have cable.

But, whenever I see a Faux News excerpt on youtube or, more likely, here on Allnurses, I can't help but think that Bill O'Reilly would play a great Sauron and Megyn Kelly longs for her "precious".

Bill O'Reilly/Fox sued Mr. Franken for this book. They lost handily which certainly calls into question the veracity of Faux News.

"Parody is a form of artistic expression protected by the First Amendment," he said. "The keystone to parody is imitation. In using the mark, Mr. Franken is clearly mocking Fox."

He said Mr. Franken's work was "fair criticism."

Judge Chin said the case was an easy one, and chided Fox for bringing its complaint to court. The judge said, "Of course, it is ironic that a media company that should be fighting for the First Amendment is trying to undermine it."
