Real News about FAUX News

The job of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is to protect consumers from deceptive advertising on the part of big media companies. We believe Fox News Channel ('Fox News') has violated FTC rules and that FNC programming is intentionally and unapologetically one-sided as evidenced by the Outfoxed film and recent studies by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR). We cannot allow the broadcasting of partisan propaganda to be represented as 'fair and balanced' news. That is why we believe:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and United States Congress must act to initiate an enforcement proceeding against Fox News from using the deceptive and misleading slogan and trademark 'Fair and Balanced.' Make sure your voice is heard!
