Are the people at the Fox News trying to limit freedom of speech?

Even though it sounds a bit ironic, Fox News attempted (unsuccessfully)
to sue Penguin Books to keep “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them”
off the shelves. The book reveals the wrongdoings of major news
organizations, including Fox News. Funny how Fox tries to portray
themselves as free speech advocates, isn’t it?

Has anyone read Al Franken’s book yet, or heard about this case? It
looks like Court TV is airing a documentary on it called “The First
Amendment Project” this coming Tuesday (12/7, my birthday!!!) at 10pm.
I’m not going to be home to watch but that’s why they invented Tivo,
right?

i've read the original version of the book (before it was rereleased to cash in on something or other) and on the chapther to do with bill o'reilly, it did feature some lies about bill o'reilly

of course, on the bill o'reilly subject i'm not an impartial person as at the same time i was reading "who's looking out for you?"

Wow, this is old news.

Yes, I've read Al Franken's book. It's very one-sided, but enlightening on that one side.
