Randall Hoven at American Thinker has compiled a list of sixty-two instances where major media outlets have gotten in trouble in recent years for reporting false information or just outright fabricating information. Before we jump on "the MSM is a bunch of liars" bus, note that Hoven's tentative thesis is that competition from the online world has pushed mainstream news sources to sensationalize their coverage and to run with stories before they have all the information. There may be some validity to that, but in the market for news one would think that telling the truth would be a pretty big selling point.
