Murdoch Media was found guilty of Phone Hacking (UK). Found Guilty of knowingly spreading false news (USA). Found guilty of actually fabricating fake news like this.

Fox News falsely reported last Wednesday that a car accident at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara, New York, was an act of terrorism. Much of the network’s coverage was based on reporting from correspondent Alexis McAdams, who attributed her information — later debunked — to anonymous law enforcement sources.
