Lying

At what point does LYING cease to be acceptable news. When, instead of being noted as inaccurate reporting, does LYING get reported as LYING? When do the paid entertainers posing as newsmen, whose professional employers invest in said LYING, stop being the objects of rapt attention and become the object of rapt ridicule because they are LYING? And when do their corporate employers face charges of attempting to expose Americans to reckless endangerment by intentionally LYING to them on issues that actually affect national security--such as true and factual information?
CNN's Schneider falsely claimed increase in those who blame Clinton for 9-11: "On the September 11 edition of CNN Newsroom, senior political analyst Bill Schneider falsely claimed that a newly released CNN poll found that more Americans are willing to blame former president Bill Clinton for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks than they were in 2001. In fact, the poll showed just the opposite -- the number of people who blamed Clinton went down from 45 percent to 41 percent."
