FCC Endorses Junk News, Calls Fox's TMZ and 700 Club 'Bona fide Newscasts'

Hard-hitting journalism is nearing extinction on television, and the Federal Communications Commission just threw another shovelful of dirt on its grave when it recently ruled that Rupert Murdoch's broadcast of TMZ and Pat Robertson's 700 Club meet the test for "a bona fide newscast." Bona fide newscast? You tell me:






Isn't Pat Robertson a dominionist? Labeling this dominionist BS as a "bona fide newscast" really concerns me. This gives that show and Robertson's crazy ideas an air of legitimacy. (((((shudder))))) These jerks who own the broadcast company were trying to eel out of giving equal time to all the political candidates, I believe. But they've opened up a can of worms by giving this crackpot a right to point out his broadcast is an official news program.
