It is bad journalism and immoral to allow a guest to tell an obvious lie and not challenge them on it.   This happens many times on Fox these days.   

The media, including Fox, conflate news with opinion, propaganda and entertainment.   This is a terrible state of affairs.   

60 years ago a local TV station in NC presented news and then had an editorial segment.   The editorial segment was done by Jesse Helms.   

It was clear to the viewers when they were watching news and when they were watching opinion.   

If a viewer only wanted news they could stop watching or turn the channel when Jesse came on.   We do not have that option today.   This is not good.   

I might add that opinion and facts are being conflated in our schools to the injury of our children.   

I recommend that the FCC set standards for programming which will require the unraveling of news, from editorials and propagandizing.   It would be akin to "truth in advertising" (what happened to that?).   Each "news show" would have to display constantly on screen a banner qualifying what they were showing.   The banner might be "News", "Editorial" or "Entertainment".   There should be the requirement that these categories be used for segmenting the "show".   

A show would look something like this:
1.   News - this is what hapoened today
2.   Editorial - this is what I think about what happened today
3.   Entertainment - satire on, making fun of, and exaggeration of what happened today

As a minister I have to guard against conflating my opinion with the Word of God.   If I do not keep them seperate, error is introduced and the hearers are damaged.   

Honesty is required for health.   To ignore it is to introduce error with damage to the hearer.
