Whatever criticisms there are of FOX, I've yet to find a bonafide incident in which FOX reporters lied to create distortion.

Wow, I see them almost daily. For example, this morning: in discussing the recent skirmish between Israel and Hezbollah, the Fox Middle East correspondent said that there were two possible reasons for Hezbollah's attack on the Israeli settlement. The first reason was because Syria told them to do it. The second reason was because Iran told them to do it. The reporter made no mention of the real reason Hezbollah did it, which the reporter surely knew:

"Hezbollah member killed, two other wounded in Beirut car bomb" . . . "Hezbollah placed 'the entire responsibility on Israel in this crime, which we consider flagrant aggression against our people and country', and added: 'this crime will not go unpunished.'"

"Hezbollah said it was to avenge the August 2 death of one of its militants in a Beirut car bomb blast that the group blamed on Israel."

The pro-Israeli bias goes much deeper, of course. The Hezbollah attack has been uniformly referred to as an attack on Israel, when in fact it was an attack on Israeli settlements in Lebanon/Syria territory (Shebaa Farms). But that is not my point here. My point is that the Fox reporter lied.

Incidentally, I found your post while doing a search for "Honestreporting.com". The fact that you cite this propagandist website as a source of unbiased information reveals a lot about you. Notice in their article on this topic that they lie in the exact same manner as the Fox reporter:
