Obviously not for internal consumption, according to this little dossier. Fox puts these liars on the air to lie to their audience. It also occupies time for other media outlets to explain why folks like John Solomon aren't to be trusted, taking away from the time those outlets could be reporting factual occurrences.

This internal dossier could be boiled down to, "Don't get high on our supply."
