Fox v. LL Cool J. Guess who won...

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted about ClusterFox's using LL Cool J to promote Barbie McLipSchmutz's new Fox show, including LL Cool J's protest tweet, here.

It said, , "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin's Show. WOW."

Wow, indeed.

Two Twitter pals, StopBeck and QuitPalin were instrumental in alerting LL to what was going on, and for that we thank them. It's a genuine accomplishment when the Twitterverse can bring the truth out into the open by exposing deception.

Especially when the outcome is this positive. Via MSNBC:

However, Fox News has now removed the LL Cool J segment from the Thursday (April 1) special and issued a derisive statement to Media Bistro's TVNewser blog.

"Real American Stories features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria," a spokesperson tells TVNewser. "However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."


Once again, ClusterFox lives down to their image.

To track LL's "fledgling" career, go to the MSNBC piece.
