Amazing what you can find when you have a dig through the results of regulator’s investigations: Fox News slapped down over news report.

1. “We do not believe that a simple Internet search for the words “BBC” and “anti-American” is sufficient evidence to back-up such a statement”
2. “We do not accept that the Hutton Inquiry supported the statement that the “BBC felt entitled to lie and when caught lying, felt entitled to defend its lying”. The Inquiry stated that BBC editorial system was “defective”. At no stage did Hutton accuse the BBC management of lying.”
3. “There is no evidence, and Fox News did not provide any, that the BBC “insisted its reporter had a right to lie””
4. “Fox News was unable to provide any substantial evidence to support the overall allegation that the BBC management had lied and the BBC had an anti-American obsession”
