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.

Your examples are ones of erroneous reporting, not lies. There is no equivalence. FOX sought and won a court decision that allows them to lie with impunity and to even fire employees who refuse to do it.
