Many of those who believe Faux News is biased also labor under the
impression that water is wet.



Did anybody watch Boston Legal the other night? A high-schooler was suing
his school's principal for putting special "news filters" on the TV's.
The
only news station that the principal chose to filter out was "the one that
calls itself fair and balanced". The judge found in favor of the kid, and
forced the principal to remove the filters.

The funny parts were the arguments made by James Spader:

"But you didn't find it a problem that a certain network published forged
national guard documents"?

He goes on to successfully make the argument that news has become nothing
more than a form of entertainment used by the networks to make money...and
should be protected by the First Amendment.

If you haven't watched the show, you need to. It takes a comical look at a
number of politically charged issues. Here's an exchange between Candace
Bergen and William Shattner:

LEWISTON (Bergen)

The problem is the basis of the

case, if there is one, would lie in

The Bill of Rights, which Denny, of

course, thinks never should have

been passed.



CRANE (Shattner)

We're one Supreme Court appointment

away from overturning them.



SCHMIDT

The Bill of Rights.



CRANE

Damn right. Red States rule.
