Does Fox have fact-checkers?

"explaining it was due to copyright law -- which has never applied to the Good Book." Except that of course translations of the Bible are copyrighted. Fox never tries to clarify what translation it was, how much text they was used and whether there might have been copyrighted images involved, but at least at the basis non-KJV versions of the Bible that most people ignorant of copyright would use are copyrighted.

"Copyright law typically covers books for the life of the author, plus 50 years" ... for a plurality, maybe majority of the people in the world. However, not for Americans, for whom the best summary of copyright law of that length would be "Copyright law typically covers books published after 1922". ("life plus 70" would have been marginally better, since some part of American copyright law fits that label, but only for works published since 1978 with living authors and works published since 2002. It would have at least shown research, if not understanding.)

Yeah, okay, it hit one of my fields of study, and other media sources aren't perfect either, but seriously, journalists shouldn't be screwing up easily checkable uncontroversial background facts.

They shouldn't; but they do, far too frequently.

King Jimmy is not copyrighted, but most other versions are.

#3: I sometimes use the ASV as a relatively modern uncopyrighted version, even if there still are traces of Elizabethan English in it.

The original question assumes that Fox cares about facts.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That's proper journalism, innit?

I agree with #5. Fox and facts don't go together.

A question with an obvious answer. No way does Fox check facts. They spin tales.

The very front page link on this article referred to an "Attack on Christians."

Fox headline:

"Arizona's governor launches an 'attack on Christians'"?!...

At times, this is the only source of news I am able to tolerate.
