The Fox News Channel sent notices to the campaigns of the leading Republican presidential candidates ordering them to stop using images from their Fox appearances in their campaign ads. The notices were sent out after the network was criticized for singling out only Senator John McCain's campaign in barring use of the images.

Earlier in the week, Fox had demanded that the McCain campaign cancel an advertisement that prominently featured his performance in a debate Sunday night that Fox News had sponsored. The advertisement featured a video clip of Mr. McCain's shot at Senator Hillary Clinton for pushing a $1 million earmark for a museum commemorating the Woodstock festival in 1969, ending with the biting observation that he was "tied up" during the concert. Mr. McCain was in a North Vietnamese as a prison at the time.

I just came back from a Media Democracy event (http://mediademocracyday.org/tiki-index.php)where there had been a screening of "A little bit of so much truth" (http://www.corrugate.org/un_poquito_de_tanta_verdad/un_poquito_de_tanta_verdad) in which the fascist gov't mouth piece were the news stations that mirrored FOX news like they were a genetic clone - except they spoke spanish. If the people of Oaxaca had the united will to reclaim the truth - it gives a token of hope for Americans. Perhaps having Media Democracy movement take root in the US could unite the independent voice to an audible octave.

Great, now maybe the Candidates can agree not to appear on Faux . . . leaving even more time for Britney and endless loops of the same fucking fire shot . . .

Even "news" about "Fox News" isn't really news. Please file them with the Britany stories in the future.

Agreed. Unfortunately, the Britney stories still make headlines, even as trite and worthless as they are.

i am curious how FUX plans to argue against fair-use clauses in the copyright laws. Eh, either way, reproducing clips from FUX is like showing pictures of Bat Boy to get elected.
