But I've not heard anyone accuse them of knowingly disregarding facts to pander to a demographic. On the other hand, it turns out that is what Fox News was doing.

Incorrect. There was ample evidence they were wrong, yet they continued to go with their preferred narrative. THAT was the problem...
The truth came out within 48 hrs, yet they continued to attack hime for well over a week...

I can understand a company making a mistake; too many mistakes and they will lose credibility. When a company is caught spreading information they know is not true, when their internal discussions show they knew it was not true but broadcast it anyway, they have lost credibility as a "News" source.

They knew it was not true within 2 days... Yet they kept attacking him...
