How many times has FOX News been caught broadcasting as *fact* something
that their own fact-checkers said was probably fake?

At least to date, FOX News has been quite a bit more careful than CBS.

FOX News is not "conservative" media. A Yale University study on media
bias showed that, while FOX is right-of-center, it is was no more to the
right than USA Today is left-of-center. CBS is much further to the left.
FOX News is actually closer to the center than any other TV news.

There is no conservative news channel.
