Of all people: Fox News Cries Censorship (eyes rolling)

Fox News Cries Censorship


Fox News is claiming that an Atlanta billboard company is censoring a sign that it rents across the street from CNN's Atlanta offices. The company has used the sign since 1999 to needle CNN about its falling market share among news viewers and chide it about apparent missteps. It had recently wanted the sign changed to read: "Now That CNN's Ratings are Gone With the Wind, Our Work on This Board Is Done. We Love You Atlanta. Brought to you by your friends at FOX News Channel." However, despite threats of legal action, the billboard company involved has refused to change the sign.

2. Hey, they have the right to put up a billboard showing what assholes they
are.

And we have the right to put up a billboard right across the street telling them where to stick it.

4. No, it's not censorship when someone who owns the sign ...
won't allow a message on it. Well, maybe we COULD change that rule, and require the owner to post what we think should be posted. Say, we could then apply that rule to Faux News .......
