I also recall CBS canning Dan Rather for pushing a fabricated story that he still maintains is true. I recall the news reports after the Denver theater shooting being more often wrong than even close to the truth. Same with the Connecticut shooting. I see network news divisions doing "infotainment" shows that liberally mix editorial and news and present the product as fact.
To me, I view it as the state of affairs in modern news reporting today. Likely a product of the 24-7 news networks that need filler to maintain an audience, and will manufacture that filler any way they can. You've apparently chosen to heap your ire on Fox News, and likely not without good reason. But I don't see Fox behaving that much differently than CNN, MSNBC, etc.
