If Brian Williams Is Suspended Why Is Fox News NOT Off The Air.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Brian Williams misrepresentations are certainly troubling and problematic. Why he would put forth such white lies is hard to understand. He did not have to embellish his stories because he was already successful and credible. He did not need to do what he did. And the fact that he is suspended is probably appropriate. Too bad he may have ended his career.

Having said that why is Fox news always getting off the hook. They lie and fabricate almost everything put on the air. They should get even more criticism if not ridicule. Fox damages the country constantly with their outright lies. There is a double standard here.

2. Didn't a Fox News channel or affiliate in Tampa argue in court

that they have a right to lie?

I don't know the details but Fox never claims to be an impartial news source. NBCnews would like to keep people thinking that they are legit.

3. Because it's entertainment.

Except that people forget to call it by its full name: Fox News Entertainment. It has much in common with news that WWE has with wrestling. You know that the result is predetermined in a WWE show, as is the news on FNE.

4. Because unlike Fox

NBC wants to appear to have integrity. Fox doesn't care what other people say about them they just keep repeating Fair and balanced.
