There was a lawsuit where a couple of reporters were fired for refusing to change a story to be more corporate friendly.
They claimed they were being ordered to lie, and that they couldn't be fired for refusing to do so.
The judge ruled Fox was indeed ordering them to lie but that Fox (and all other broadcast media by extension) did not have any requirement to report the truth, and as such their dismissal was legitimate.
