ETHICS in Journalism - Fox news anti-Obama bias - distortion of the facts or deliberate lies and misinformation?

Fox News is generally considered to be pro-conservative, pro the Republican Party, sympathetic to the American Rifle Association, hostile to liberal positions and the Democratic Party and President Obama. In the early days of television news, journalists were expected to state the facts and generally viewers were expected to weigh the evidence and form their own opinions. Fox News and many right-wing 'talk-radio' hosts like Rush Limbagh have fostered a climate of paranoia and conspiracy theories around President Obama suggesting that he is an enemy of the American people.
