Fox News Imploding? Desperate? Lashing Out?

Tue Nov 13, 2007 at 09:18:16 AM PST
Y'all by now must have read Dave in Queen's tale of the Fox News darling Sean Hannity and his handler's bizarre behaviors at a book store. And we're all familiar with the Al Franken lawsuits... the BillOreillySucks.com and Robert Greenwald legal threats (amongst others)...

So right now RawStory.com has the exclusive of what Fox has been trying to do to me. Nick Juliano writes up the complete story, but the bottom line is that the Fox News Lawyers have attacked; they wrote a letter to the Dean of my law school asking him to investigate my behavior for possible violations of the school's standards of conduct. There's more to the story after the flip, but for now, I've got a message for Bill O'Reilly, Dianne Brandi and Roger Ailes:

I'm still standing and my hair isn't even messed up. And I won't be going away. If it takes living out of a barrel, I will do everything I can to hold you accountable for your dishonest yellow journalism and propagandizing. You've got blood on your hands that no amount of lawyering will ever wash off.

Re: Dianne Brandi; Bill O’Reilly

Dear Mr. Ailes:

I write on my own behalf to call your attention to the misconduct of two of your employees, staff attorney Dianne Brandi and on-air personality, Bill O’Reilly. On October 23, 2007, Ms. Brandi contacted by overnight letter the Dean of my law school at The University of Virginia School of Law, John C. Jeffries, Jr. In the letter, Ms. Brandi, without basis in fact and with willful malice, asserted that I was guilty of "misconduct", interfered with "the ability of members of the University community to... express their views", "threatened to post Mr. O’Reilly’s home address on the internet", and that I meant "harm to Mr. O’Reilly and his family."

Fortunately for all concerned (except Ms. Brandi, who is bound by the New York State Lawyer’s Code of Professional Responsibility), each of the assertions are, at best, specious, and at their worst, demonstrably false.

Under normal circumstances, I would feel confident that Fox News’ executive leadership would handle this matter with dispatch and competence. Unfortunately, public court filings in the Andrea Mackris sexual harassment case give me pause for concern. Specifically, the Complaint filed by Andrea Mackris before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York on October 13, 2004 contained the following allegations in paragraphs 54-56:
