Cable news stations should not be allowed to lie in the United States

There is plenty of evidence of intentional deceit. I am glad that you asked for it. It will be impossible for me to actually find evidence of Fox News lying every time they do or scour the internet for proof, so I will be quoting a not-for-profit organization. Just keep in mind that I am not arguing that Fox News ALWAYS lies, but instead that they lie on a calculated move frequently to fulfill their agenda.Here is a laundry list of some of the times of when Fox News was actually CAUGHT lying, not necessarily the only times:Timeline of a [madrassa] smear--Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.After teasing story by saying "Obama makes a little girl cry," Fox News' Kelly acknowledged it was not true--Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations.Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters--Never plagiarize.Fox passes off GOP press release as its own research -- typo and all--Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.Media adopt gender, racial stereotypes in characterizing Sotomayor's temperament, intellect--Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.REPORT: "Fair and balanced" Fox News aggressively promotes "tea party" protests--Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.Fox News, CBS air clips of peephole video of ESPN's Erin Andrews--Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone's privacy.O'Reilly Producer Stalks Amanda Terkel: THE VIDEO--Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.Foxy News breaks out the boudoir B-roll to cover "the great breast augmentation scandal"--Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.Would a real news organization help GOP PACs raise money?--Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.FLASHBACK: When Fox News boasted about its "unprecedented" access to the Bush White House--Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.After exclusive access, softball interviews during Bush admin, Fox News blasts ABC for White House exclusive--Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.http://mediamatters.org...EXCLUSIVE: Fox News seeks to confirm wildly inaccurate reporting that it's already aired on Jennings controversy; former student seeks Fox News correction*** I do not know how to make an external link to each of those individual links so unfortunately you will have to click each one to check them out/***Just to make my point clearer, here is a video that Fox News deliberately lied about to its own Republican Party member Congressman Dr. Paul.http://youtu.be...And the video that shows them pathetically apologizing for it since it was so obvious that they lied.http://youtu.be...Now, do you honestly believe that Fox News accidently aired the 2010 video instead of the 2011? I don't think so. They have a history of being bias against Ron Paul. I can keep going on and on about all the instances when Fox lied to its viewers but for the sanity of our minds and the time limit I will restrict it to just these.Just because it says a company can lie, does not mean that they are at all times.Like I said before I am not saying every little thing they say is a lie, but instead that they deliberately at times lie. However it does mean they will lie whenever an opportunity arises for them to propel their ideals onto the public. They would not have gone to an appeals court in order to be granted that power if they did not intend to do so, which they did right away. Here is a quote from an article that talks about the court ruling. "On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast."http://ceasespin.org...After reading that, can you honestly continue asserting that Fox News plays no hand in the information they recieve?"What your not realizing though is that stations are not just misinterpreting information at times. They are deliberately skewing the news in order to make it more entertaining." - "Actually I am well aware of this.."You seem to agree with me.
