Fair and Balanced

I feel about TV news the way I do about unproven herbal remedies: rather than having the government try to control content, we should empower the government to require clear, honest and complete labelling, and let people decide for themselves what they want to swallow.

MoveOn.org is petitioning the FCC to force Fox "News" Channel to drop the slogan "Fair and Balanced".  This is merely a political prank, of course, but it does have a serious point.
