sounds like two wrongs happened here.
acorn may have been set up, but they fell for it
and I seem to remember that it was not just Fox who reported on this,
ALL the major networks ran with this story

Not necessarily. If you watched the video, the one guy who they portrayed as "helping" them smuggle girls across the border was actually gathering information on them, which he reported to the cops as soon as they left.
At any rate, the ACORN workers [[while some were fired) were cleared of any charges resulting from this stunt.
Fox was got the actual filmmakers on the set for interviews. They had every opportunity [[and journalistic obligation) to ask tough questions and find out whether they were for real, but instead they slobbered all over them and made them into right-wing heroes. The rest of the networks followed Fox's lead, much like local TV and radio will do second-hand stories on what's reported in the daily papers. It doesn't absolve any of them of their responsibility to "check it out," but Fox is definitely the most guilty one.and I seem to remember that it was not just Fox who reported on this,

What a shock, Fox once again gets caught manufacturing a story. Why anyone would take that network seriously anymore is beyond me.
These two conservative tools and Fox should be sued for slander, at the very least. Hit them hard in their pocketbook to discourage this blatant yellow journalism in the future. It would be nice to see a judgment that bankrupts all the guilty parties involved.

Thats what happens when you don't have a fairness doctrine to at least address some of the blatant stuff Fox does. Maybe we can call Fox News , Fox News and Opinion. Almost like how we call professional wrestling sports entertainmentWhat a shock, Fox once again gets caught manufacturing a story. Why anyone would take that network seriously anymore is beyond me.

The sound of Rachel Maddow's voice has to be one of the most nauseating sounds on Earth ! There is no way I could have watched long enough to see the actual video clips.
The U.S would be a much better place if we shipped the likes of Rachel Maddow, Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Michael Moore to Guantanamo. IMO these pompous asshats are more of a threat to the future of the U.S than any of the enemy combatants imprisoned there now.
You saying that they should be imprisoned for doing their jobs is much worse than anything they have ever done.

I personally have admiration for Maddow, but at least you're not picking sides and have every blowing horn on a ship. Can I add quitter in chief Palin, now she's on Fox' payroll, as well?
