Can someone help me out
I'm looking for a new article (from a well known source) that states that fox news can slant the news, or (basically) lie. I did find something about a case from a Florida court (about growth hormone in cows), but was wondering if there was more.

Thanks :)

1. Watch the channel for 5 minutes and video tape it.
You will probably have physical evidence of several lies.

I do recall an article or two but not a new one. Everyone knows they lie so it it kinda old news that they do.

3. it's not for me...
It's for my dad. I told them that Fox reports lies and he didn't believe me, naturally. I told him to watch The Daily Show and he laughed at me. He said if I could find an article in a reputable paper he might believe it. Fox is all over the place. In the airport, on every TV, there it is. The people who watch it believe their horseshit. It's about time they get discredited.

Oh, and this is how the conversation started - Dad told me that Obama wants to raise everyones' auto insurance rates to cover those that can't afford it. Sure. Heard that on Fox I bet?

5. Thanks for the links
but I was looking for a court ruling that said tha fox was allowed to report lies (because it's on cable). You listed the only one I found, the one about the case in Florida. Maybe that's the only one. I guess I'll have to make do. Thanks again.
