22. So true. "Error" and "mistake" have never seemed interchangeable with "blatant lie"!

Those who watch Fox to "learn" anything already want to believe everything they hear there. I don't think they could care less if it's actually true. Who hasn't seen people in their lives who deliberately spread lies about others, just because of their own social perversity!

It's actually shocking to know this network lies deliberately. They aren't do it to please their audience. They don't respect their audience enough to tell them the truth. That's where they unfortunately resemble a lot of other corporate "news" sources, too, who lie to the more stable part of the human race regularly.

Hideous state of unprofessionalism for U.S. American "journalism".
