Why are they being so PC? Why not embrace your values Fox!?

What do you all think? Why is Fox and Loafer perpetrating?

1. That's a powerful ad.

Both Loeffler and Perdue are perfect symbols for the GOP today. In it for themselves.....

[Nimble_Idea]

53. yes indeed, more powerful than trolls and freep lurkers

poisoning the interwebs. They know who they are.

[Nimble_Idea]

2. I think it is a great video

Hope people kick and recommend!

Spread the gospel!

[Nimble_Idea]

54. get dem cookies!

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. Well Loeffler is SOL

The truth is an affirmative defense. However, did they get permission to use the Fox News clips? Doubtful.

Thankfully, the ad is already out there and you can't unring a bell.

[Shermann]

5. You know Fox wants that segment back

They need to make a ceremonial sacrifice from time to time to maintain some semblance of impartiality and credibility. Loeffler was that sacrificial lamb.

Fast-forward to today and she's at the center of the struggle for control of the Senate. Oops.

[Blue_true]

8. I believe that Fox was trying to boost the asshole that she kept out of the runoff.

Now that she is the Republican choice, Fox has jumped on her bandwagon, so their past words are no longer applicable, at least in their minds.

6. Sue for what? It's not manipulated media. They said what they said and it's all true.

18. Just a guess, but maybe copyright infringement?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. Copyright is not absolute.

Political speech is the most protected form under the 1st Amendment.

[onenote]

33. One of my specialties is copyright law.

Of course it's not "absolute". But that doesn't prevent copyright owners from threatening copyright infringement actions. Happens all the time.

[DLCWIdem]

40. Does copyright apply when Fox is a news orgsnization?

Isn't news public domain?

[onenote]

42. It's not "news" that is copyrighted

It is the audio visual presentation. In addition, using a company's trademarked logo without their permission also can raise issues.

Just so it's clear: my point isn't that Fox would prevail on a copyright or trademark claim, but merely that its likely that they asserted such a claim in a cease and desist letter.

The issue of whether and under what circumstances the use of a broadcaster's copyrighted material is or isn't fair use rarely gets litigated to a final verdict because the life-span of the ads that use the material tends to be a lot shorter than the litigation (and the point of making the claim isn't to recover damages but to stop the ad).

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. We need a national anti-SLAPP law.

[USALiberal]

55. What about fair use? Nt

[Under The Radar]

7. Republicans are carnivores and will eat there own

When it comes to gaining and establishing power, nothing or no one will stand in their way.
Those clips are when Fox was on team Trump and Trump wanted Chris Collins to have that senate seat, and lack the foresight to understand the repercussions.
The insatiable appetite for money and power is often blinding.

[sandensea]

11. Talk about being hoist with their own petard!

May it be enough to make the difference (lower turnout in runoffs is a big problem for Warnock and Ossoff, as you know).

[jaxexpat]

32. Republicans are incompetent in just about anything too, you know.

When they "eat there own" they use scatter guns to bring it down because their aim is poor and to do it right would take.......effort. Oh yeah, and lazy also.

Thinking it through, acting on good intel? Not the FOX way.

[Liberal In Texas]

9. Brilliant. n/t

[Nimble_Idea]

57. Concur

[Roc2020]

10. ouch. If the GOP here in GA

isn't scared to death by the Rev. Wright ads she could be toast.

[Nimble_Idea]

59. they better run for the hills! nt

[PatSeg]

12. Wow, that IS powerful

I honestly didn't realize that Loeffler was appointed, not elected. That would explain a lot. She really doesn't come across as a very appealing candidate, even as a republican. She reminds me more of a villain in a Disney movie.

One thing you can predictably say about the very wealthy is they never have enough money and will do pretty much anything to get more.

[OldBaldy1701E]

30. And...

another thing you can predictably say is that we, as a rampant capitalistic society, will let them. After all, having money is akin to virtue in our modern society, and that makes vultures like Loeffler paragons in the general eye. Disgusting...

[PatSeg]

35. Sadly, very true

Money has been the number one indicator of success and happiness for many, for so long. Unfortunately money has never been a guarantee of happiness. If anything, it has often been the opposite. I believe many people try to fill an emptiness with money, but it often just creates more emptiness.

Some more enlightened people realize they have been very fortunate and choose to give back, but there are plenty who never get enough and are never satisfied. They are too busy wanting more to appreciate what they have, which I suppose would be fine, but they hurt so many people in the process. I think it is an addiction.

[Nimble_Idea]

31. Disney movie villian

lol, that puts to words what I was feeling.

And your last sentence....hmm wonder who that reminds us all of...

[PatSeg]

36. Oh yeah

Cruella was the first one that came to mind!

[Nimble_Idea]

45. yup, me too

[sinkingfeeling]

13. I volunteer to serve on the jury in either or both lawsuits!

[George II]

14. Just presenting Fox News facts. You mean Fox was lying??

[greblach]

15. Fox doesn't like being part of the ad

Powerful ad...
K&R

[Shermann]

20. Right but airing those Trump commercials with Fauci's out of context "endorsement" was just fine! nt

[Mike Nelson]

16. I think...

... it's a GREAT ad! I hope it plays in GA frequently. Why would FOX dislike this? They have starring roles!

[bringthePaine]

17. now that's an old-fashioned ass-kicking!

[Nimble_Idea]

46. yes indeed

[Ziggysmom]

19. EAT THE RICH!

Verse 1]
Well, I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin' about all those things you said
About ordinary people and how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you, then I hope this does the trick

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I'm sick of your complainin' about how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin' 'bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor about your way of life
And I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife!

[Chorus]
Eat the rich; there's only one thing they're good for
Eat the rich; I take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich; I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich; I take one bite now, spit out the rest, uh huh!

[Verse 2]
So I called up my head shrinker, and I told him what I'd done
He said you'd best go on a diet, yeah I hope you have some fun
And a'don't go burst a bubble on the rich folks who get rude
Cause you won't get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now they're smokin' up the jail bonds, and then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club with Muff and Uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens when you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit, but go real good with wine!

[burrowowl]

26. Yay Aerosmith!

[Nimble_Idea]

49. this had pictures

[burrowowl]

27. Yay Aerosmith!

[JohnnyRingo]

21. Yes, I think Fox would be glad to be so far ahead of the curve.

They knew before us how crooked she is and they should be bragging about that.

hahaha

[tymorial]

22. Sue for what? It's not slander unless fox has been engaged in slander

Unless republicans want to be sued for the exact same type of edited usage of media clips, they really ought to just sit back and take it. If they win, you can be sure democrats will never let them get away with it.

They should just suck it up. They deserve the return serve imho

[liberalla]

23. That is GOOD! I hope it airs on other channels! (if not Fox.)

She's not working for Georgia !!!

[MrModerate]

37. Fox wailing on this woman should have some effect.

And she didn't do so well in the primary…

[oldsoftie]

38. Ah, that was because Kemp didnt appoint Trumps Golden Boy, Collins.

Still dont know why Kemp did that, it sure pissed off the GA MAGAs.

[In It to Win It]

39. Love this ad. I replay it every couple days

[Kid Berwyn]

Perfect handle for Parasites.

44. yes indeed

[Gothmog]

47. This is a very effective ad
