There have been plenty of bogus documentaries shown on the major networks and CNN over the years

so it's both unfair and unreasonable to single out Fox News for one admittedly POS program that wasn't produced by their news division.

Ever see the "Alar scare" segment on 60 Minutes? Purely bogus.

How about CNN's Peter Arnett claiming that US troops used nerve gas in the Gulf War? Bogus.

Dateline NBC wanted to juice up a segment on "exploding gas tanks" in GM trucks, so they wired a truck with explosives.

60 Minutes wanted to juice up a story about the dangers of Audi cars and uncontrolled accelerations, so they rigged the car.

There have been many, many examples of bogus documentaries and news stories by their news divisions. To me, that's a lot worse than airing a bogus documentary on the entertainment side of the house.

As for me, I access many sources for news, with TV being only one of them.
