It's the Media, Stupid. (But that sword can cut both
ways...)
Editors and Publishers: Aided by controversy fanned by
a New York Times magazine story, and dozens of
newspaper stories since then, the new documentary
"Outfoxed" hit No. 1 on amazon.com's list of
bestselling DVDs today. The film takes on alleged bias
at Fox News Channel, and has been denounced by Fox
while warmly embraced by liberal groups. Fox has also
attacked The New York Times for quoting from internal
Fox memos.
In the latest development, MoveOn.org and other groups announced this afternoon that on Monday they will deliver "legal papers" to Fox News' studio in New York City, challenging the network's use of the tagline "Fair and Balanced." Chellie Pingree, president of
Common Cause, will lead a news conference disclosing
two legal actions in this matter.
