Fox News is claiming that an Atlanta billboard company is censoring a sign that it rents across the street from CNN's Atlanta offices. The company has used the sign since 1999 to needle CNN about its falling market share among news viewers and chide it about apparent missteps. It had recently wanted the sign changed to read: "Now That CNN's Ratings are Gone With the Wind, Our Work on This Board Is Done. We Love You Atlanta. Brought to you by your friends at FOX News Channel." However, despite threats of legal action, the billboard company involved has refused to change the sign.

the
question
of
how
much
--
if
any
--
of
the
grisly
footage
of
the
attacks
on
Americans
in
Iraq
Wednesday
ought
to
be
broadcast.
Fox
News
Channel
showed
none
of
it,
saying
that
"it
was
too
graphic
in
nature
to
