Fox news has a Florida State court ruling that it's ok to lie to you when they give you the "news":
"During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so."

This is what happens under a Republican corporate owned FCC who stacks itself with lobbyists. I thouhgt news organizations were beholden to tell the truth in their fair use of public airwaves for their business? Guess I was a naive idealist...
