12 Sept: Fox News: Inaccuracy: Breivik Case Not Formally Ended
Submitted a Complaint (PDF) at Federal Communications Commission (FCC): Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau: Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division against Fox News: Complaint: Failure by FoxNews to Correct Factually Inaccurate / Misrepresentation Reporting: Request Correction of Inaccuracy in: 07 Sept 2012: Fox News Online Article: No appeal from Breivik as case formally ends.
The case has not ‘formally ended’. [1] 27 August Application to Supreme Court for Review of Breivik Judgement. On 27 August 2012 an application was filed with the Norwegian Supreme Court for Review of the Oslo District Court: Breivik Judgement, to set aside (A) the Necessity ruling, and (B) the conviction and Remit to Oslo District Court for hearing of further evidence to conclude Objective and Subjective Necessity Test Evidentiary Enquiry. The finding of guilt, in the absence of full Objective and Subjective Necessity Test Conclusions renders the Guilt Finding Inadequate. Additionally the application for review also requested an Order to Set Aside the Oslo District Court: Breivik Judgement’s failure to disclose the pending Judicial Ethics violation complaint (PDF ) against Judge Wenche Arntzen, filed on 06 June 2012 to the Supervisory Committee for Judges (Case 2012-072 ), as a violation of Aarhus Convention Article 3.(3)(4)(5) and general ECHR public accountability transparency (Lithgow & Others v. United Kingdom) principles. |
The Norwegian Supreme Court Registrar initially refused to respond to the Application, or to provide reasons for their refusal. A complaint of Slow Case Processing against the Supreme Court Registrar was submitted to the Parliamentary Ombudsman on 02 September 2012. On 10 September the Secretary General of the Supreme Court: Gunnar Bergby responded, by refusing to issue a case number or refer the application to another relevant court, citing alleged lack of locus standi/legal standing.
On 11 September, the applicant provided a detailed response to Mr. Gunnar Bergby, clarifying her legal standing in terms of (I) her applications to the Oslo District Court, which were never officially refused; and still pending resolution with the Supervisory Committee for Judges; (II) her legal standing in terms of her ‘legal interest’ in the matter, in terms of The Dispute Act: Section 29-8: Legal Standing: (2): “A person who is not a party to the action may appeal against rulings that relate to their rights or obligation’. It is a matter for a court to make an impartial enquiry into any applicants alleged lack of ‘legal standing’, if or where, any respondent raises the matter as an issue of contention.
Consequently the Supreme Court Sec. Gen. can refer my application for Review of the Breivik Judgement to either: (A) the Interlocutory Court, in terms of Criminal Procedure Act, Section 377; or (B) the Criminal Cases Review Commision, in terms of Section 389; or (C) an Appeals Court in terms of Section 306 read in conjunction with The Dispute Act: Section 29-8 (2).
What the court cannot do, is to deny me due process access to a court. I cannot find any statutory authority that allows a Secretary General to deny me due process access to a court, to make a judicial finding on legal standing (if or where any respondent so demands) in the official proceedings.

FCC: Complaints About Broadcast Journalism: Failure to Correct Misrepresentation :
As public trustees, broadcasters may not intentionally distort the news. Broadcasters are responsible for deciding what their stations present to the public. The FCC has stated publicly that “rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest.” The FCC does act to protect the public interest where it has received documented evidence of such rigging or slanting. This kind of evidence could include testimony, in writing or otherwise, from “insiders” or persons who have direct personal knowledge of an intentional falsification of the news. Of particular concern would be evidence about orders from station management to falsify the news. In the absence of such documented evidence, the FCC has stressed that it cannot intervene.
