Looks like Mr. Leibowitz got it wrong, according to Politifact, anyway.

Admit it, you hang out at Wal-Mart and watch Fox News on Chinese TV sets. Come clean, Scooty!
Well, I do occasionally see some Faux news on television sets that I am sure were not manufactured in the US.
Never at Wal-mart though.

I was hoping someone would say that.....

"He (Stewart) also noted that Fox News won both the 2010 and 2009 “Lie of the Year” awards on the website (Politifacts), making them “the New England Patriots of lying– without the patriot part because I think we all know patriots never lie.”
Some of the lies even got a special “pants on fire” rating, making them “the filet mignon of bullsh*t.”

To honor Wimbleton, I believe, "Game, set and match" would be appropriate.

Chris Wallace is anything but a "news" program. He is an opinion program similar to "Meet the Press".
Chris Wallace was not the one saying all the things proven to be outright lies. That was a team effort by Faux news.
Regardless of whether it is an "opinion program" or the "news" don't you think broadcasting lies as facts is unacceptable?
Voicing one's opinion about a subject does not require any change in the veracity of cold hard facts.

For once on a Sunday, I missed that Chris Wallace show. I have found that what many consider "lies" often turn out to be what the particular source wants you to believe, if you get my drift. Whenever I read anything on a subject, I also consider the source which is sometimes more revealing than what is actually said.
Facts do not change. That is what makes them facts.
We're not talking about spin, details being left out, shades of gray, or exaggeration for effect.
We're talking about completely false claims.
Yes, interpretation of the facts or how one feels about facts can widely vary, but saying 2+2=78 is a lie - regardless of political opinion or source.
Politicians and pundits could easily debate and opine all day long using facts. Unfortunately, few choose to do so. (This applies to all parties BTW.) The lies are more effective in garnering ratings and firing up viewers and voters.
