That would make Fox almost as bad a MSNBC and CNN then as well as CBS and NBC and ABC. After all CNN admitted that for the entire decade of the 1980's and most of the 1990's they lied about the reports they made from Iraq. Then you have the NYT which has refused to admit for almost 80 years that the reporter who got the Pulitzer for his reporting about the Kulaks in the Ukraine was totally bogus. Nothing new with this at all. CBS has been charged with reporting lies on 60 Minutes several times. That does not even include the lying of Cronkite during the VN war or Dan Rather and his crew. Keith Olbermann has lied about Sarah Palin multiple times as well as many of the other reports he made. ABC still does not admit that the questions they asked Palin were faked. And all of them have lied about Obama over the years. The difference is that Fox will do something to fix it. None of the others would, even when they were proven to be lies.
