Now we've moved from 'biased' to "liar". Show me some specific examples of FNC lies.
Here are some specific lies:.

There are more but I figured this is a good start.
It was poor start, and I stopped after the first one you started with. Bill Kristol is the editor of the Weekly Standard, is not FNC, and doesn't even speak for FNC. That doesn't even come close to an example of a FNC lie. Hell, it doesn't even prove that Kristol "lied".

Too bad you didn't read more.. In case you are interested, here is pages upon pages of interesting stuff regarding misinfo from Fox news. You can also find misinfo by other stations as well.. There are lies listed in there.. Lot of them. http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/outlets/foxnewschannel

Misinfo? No doubt. Bias? Certainly. Lies? Where?

And I find it a bit ironic that in a discussion of "fair and balanced", your alleged proof of lies comes from a source which describes itself as:
--------------------------------------------
Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.

Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time.
----------------------------------------------
"Media" Matters, and they only look at conservative media? That's bias. Blatant bias.

So for the sake of argument, let's assume that FNC's "misinformation" is actually "lies" (which I see no proof of on their site). Do ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. also "lie"?

I noticed on their site an article about O'Reilly.

Is this supposed to be an exposure of bias or misinformation? If so, I can't find it. Where is it?
