The "lies" they're talking about are willful fabrications, not speculative analysis.

Fox News deliberately aired lies about the contents of milk in the US. They went to court to defend their right to lie.

I'm saying their speculative analysis is approaching (and surpassing) the line between "analysis" and "fabrication", and they should be punished for it.
