That's... not actually what happened. Which is why internet news is even worse then Cable Network news. It goes from one source through 12 blogs and you end up with a story not like the actual one. Check the Wiki on the Lawsuit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Akre#Whistleblower_lawsuit The courts ruled against all of their lower charges. In otherwords agreeing they didn't lie.
That's why "inexplicably" Wilson didn't win anything. Then they appealed the whistleblower clause to get back the 400,000 dollars they lost because she didn't have a standing under that clause. |
That doesn't change the fact that Fox (WTVT) argued (and the court agreed) that distorting the news is not illegal:
"We agree with WTVT that the FCC's policy against the intentional falsification of the news-which the FCC has called its “news distortion policy”-does not qualify as the required “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102."
