Breaking news in the Show Me state: Robin Carnahan has decided to go toe to toe with Fox News in a legal case with major political ramifications going forward. The ad, which you can see here, and which the Carnahan campaign has chosen to leave on the air in spite of Fox News legal threats, is of an interview on Fox News with Chris Wallace where Wallace destroys Blunt for his ties to Abramoff and Blunt's own lobbyist girlfriend. Fox is using a law firm to go after the Carnahan campaign which has close ties to Blunt over the last several years, and is hilariously claiming that "The value of [Fox News] reporting is based in part upon the public's faith in the accuracy and integrity of those reports".

Robin Carnahan is taking on the beast here, bravely standing up to their legal threats, and should be supported by the progressive community in doing so. Show her some love for standing up to Fox News.

FOX Could Not Have Drawn A Better Judge (0.00 / 0)

if it wants to seek and injunction to stop the ad, U.S. District Court Judge Gary A. Fenner.

"intruded upon [Chris] Wallace's private self-esteem and dignity"? (4.00 / 1)

What kind of an argument is this by Fox News? It's part of Wallace job to do interviews. But if people quote his work, this will harm his "self-esteem and dignity"? What does this say about the quality of his work, and about his personality? Obviously, the poor jerk must be in constant depression about the piss poor job he does, and has suicide thoughts whenever someone mentions anything he has said on TV! If this is so, why does he still have to play anchor at FoxNews? Isn't it totally irresponsible for that company to put such a strain on this fragile character? And shouldn't they have to blame themselves for any harm to Wallace "self-esteem and dignity" in the first place?

Come on, Fox, it's up to you to end that poor guys misery! This is an urgent case for early retirement because of reasons of mental health! Stop exploiting this suffering person, act compassionately and responsibly. Send Wallace fishing
