    What news station hasn’t lied before?

    There’s a gigantic difference between

    A) sometimes accidentally saying something untrue due to sloppy work and then issuing a retraction when you find out or someone finds out for you

    B) sometimes accidentally or deliberately saying something untrue due to editorial bias and then issuing a retraction

    C) Having a deliberate strategy of lying on purpose to further an agenda while constantly accusing everyone else of the same

    Almost all of the news outlets in the world do A and B, rarely in most cases.

    Faux News have been doing C all day every day since 1996.

      And don’t forget the biggest difference of all, saying in court that they aren’t News but a “News entertainment network”
