Why I view Fox News

a,,,, Col. be nice to the Aussie's
I wouldn't be surprise if they made stuff up, but I need help finding an outright lie.

You can start here:

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/


Here are some examples:

• "It will cost over $50,000 per enrollee in Obamacare over the next 10 years."
• "There is no good data showing secondhand smoke kills people."
• "[A new Colorado law] literally allows people to print ballots from their home computers, then encourages them to turn ballots over to collectors."
• George Will said Ebola can be transmitted "by a sneeze or some cough".

That's just a portion of the False and Pants on Fire listings found on the first page. I skipped the 'Mostly False' and up. On the second page, I found Tucker Carlson's gem "Far more children died last year drowning in their bathtubs than were killed accidentally by guns".

My personal favorite, however, was Bill O'Reilly insisting that no one knows what causes the tides, and then once he was proven wrong, drawing the line and holding at 'no one knows what keeps the moon up', although in his defense, that's ignorance, not lying.

Thanks. Like I said I don't think for a second that Fox doesn't have any false stuff, but without them there is stuff I would never hear about. I have to also be careful if I read something that goes along with my narrative I don't think to question it.
