>From SLATE:>The [Washington POST] fronts a look at the phenomenon of
advocacy groups who pose as media sources to advance their agendas. One
such publication is The Madison County Record, a legal newspaper in
Illinois "that bills itself as the county's legal journal." Though you
couldn't tell from reading it, The Record is actually co-owned by the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and only covers absurdly frivolous lawsuits
against businesses (woman sues restaurant for $50k after hurting her
teeth on a piece of chicken): conspicuously, these are just the kind of
suits the Chamber has launched a massive campaign to get rid of.<

what's the difference between this and FOX news?
