Fox News reports but 'can't confirm' Vick, Qaeda accusation
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Monday August 20, 2007
The following video is from Fox's Studio B, broadcast on August 14.Fox News carried a straight-faced report on Tuesday that NFL quarterback "Michael Vick is being sued for 63 trillion billion dollars" by Jonathan Lee Riches, a prisoner serving time at South Carolina's Williamsburg Federal Collection Facility.
Fox's story, in addition to inflating the damages sought by Riches--the inmate sought a mere $60 billion in damages--comes more than three weeks after the the plaintiff's court papers were filed on July 23, and arrives fairly late in the game for a story that was well-covered by bloggers as early as July 27.
Noting no new developments in the case, Fox's account added little veracity to a handwritten complaint that Vick stole two Riches' pit bulls, entered them in dog fights, subsequently sold the dogs on eBay, and, ultimately, used the proceeds to buy missiles from Iran on behalf of al Qaeda.
Shepard Smith, who recently promised he was "not going to do more crap," concluded the segment by stating, "Fox News can confirm none of this," followed by a heartfelt, "Good grief!"

The link has a video of Shepherd Smith on Fox New, he reads the story and then adds "Fox News can confirm none of this...Good Grief".

Finally, truth in advertising...
Rupert Murdoch, Owner of FAUX News, approves!
Your thread headlines still really need work, Dan.
Shepard Smith is a good sport, but why would any news organization air the story?
To show the stupidity of our court system. Like letting
someone sue for multi-millions over a pair of pants.
I think it shows the stupidity of the person suing not the court system. There's no way to legally prevent a person from filing a lawsuit. The court can kick out the suit based on the fact that it has no merit (which is what happened to the pants suit I believe) but it cannot the lock the door at the courthouse steps to prevent any idiot from walking inside.
Since you're a Bush republican you want a bigger more intrusive government, so I can understand why you'd like the court system to prevent people from filing suits that you deem unworthy.
