Where to start lol. Mediamatters does a pretty good job of correcting their lies. There are so many, it's hard to give examples. But eg, during the 2004 election they had the Swift Boat Veterans for 'Truth' on daily telling lies about Kerry's war record. Even after the Navy and people who were actually with him in Vietnam stepped up to verify his record, the lies continued. They, eg, lied that these guys were 'with Kerry' in Vietnam, when in fact only one of them may have been.

That is just one example that comes to mind ~ but I think if you just put 'Fox lies' into your search engine, you'll get plenty of hits.

Also, they actually won a lawsuit on appeal claiming they had the 'right to lie'. That involved two reporters who had done a documentary for them relating to the environment, I beleive. When big corps got upset, the reporters were asked by Fox to change the story. They refused, Fox fired them and they sued claiming Fox had asked them to lie. They won, but Fox appealed and claimed they had no 'obligation to tell the truth'. Amazingly the appeal judge agreed and they the reporters lost their case.
