With Malice Towards All

("A $787.5 Million Settlement and Embarrassing Disclosures: The Costs of Airing a Lie")

“Well shut my mouth, slap my wrist and call me wicked."

So Fox News ponied up so old Rupert and the gang that couldn't tell the truth if they were stuck in the eye with a red hot poker wouldn't have to swear on a Bible that D T was a loser. This will teach them all an invaluable lesson: never tell it like it is in a text or an email. Never break character. Ever.

And tomorrow the first Amendment will still serve and protect their misdeeds as we did not get the pleasure of hearing a court tell them to go sit in a corner for five minutes and think about what they just did.

Do we actually believe this settlement will hold dominion over them, will rein them in, will rain on their parade, even a teeny, tiny bit? Let's not fool ourselves. What is almost $800 million among friends? If this Fox changes hue and becomes yellow, it will go down faster than the Titanic.

No, we will still be subjected to their mad dash for ratings, the anything goes or you go mentality, their you can fool most of the people most of the time and that's good enough for me momma theme song. 

They may have suffered a few slings and arrows of misfortune but their fortune is still sadly mostly intact. As well as their commitment to cause. Always go for the gold, their gold that is.

For you can never count a bad man out. With malice towards all.
