Greetings. It's well known that FOX "News" is anything but the "Fair and Balanced" reporting organization that their slogan proclaims.

In their coverage of the FCC's vote on weak Net Neutrality rules pending for Tuesday (expected to be in the affirmative, sure to be attacked by Big Telecom's minions in Congress, and certain to be the subject of prolonged litigation), FOX provided a particularly demonstrative example of how to deploy "Big Lie" attacks against your adversaries.

In an article today, FCC to Vote on Internet Regulation Plan Despite Economic Warnings, FOX publishes one of its typically skewed (though not quite entirely one-sided) presentations.

What's really interesting though is how FOX is currently hawking that article on their home page -- Big Brother to Oversee Your Every Web Click? [image] -- an utterly distorted, emotionally-laden Big Lie headline designed to warp the reader's viewpoint before they even get to the actual article itself.

Of course, the headline next door, "U.S. 'Under Siege By Muslims Terrorists' [sic]" is similarly alarmist, illustrating that FOX doesn't reserve its yellow journalism only for technology issues.

Apparently distorting every issue as ordered by its corporate masters is FOX's idea of "equal" coverage.

At least that's something about FOX that we can really depend upon.

Shameful.
