DU CALL TO ACTION: Register a complaint with the FCC about FOX - FALSE ADVERTISING!
"Fair and Balanced"?

Go to this site and in the third section (near the bottom), register a complaint:
https://esupport.fcc.gov/sform2000/formA!input.action?form_page=2000A


Cross-post this to any and all liberal forums you participate in.


This is the text I used (I borrowed the Limbaugh/see-saw line from another DU post). Feel free to use it as a template:


It is obvious to even the casual observer that FOX News is a mouthpiece for the Republican party. Chris Wallace, who is one of the milder offenders, just opened a show asking if America is becoming socialist. O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Coulter, and too many others to mention all make little or no effort to hide their right-wing bias.

My complaint is their use of the term "FAIR AND BALANCED". They are as fair and balanced as Rush Limbaugh on the other end of a see-saw.

I submit that they should be forbidden from using this term on the grounds that it is false advertising - and they DO USE IT IN ADVERTISING. During unrelated shows, they run ads for their so called "news" programs with that term in the advertisement. That's false advertising.
