Or at least the most amazingly brazen I can think of at this moment.
Via Erik Wemple of the Washington Post, the simply unbelievable Fox and Friends segment below. It's about the News of the World hacking scandal.
To the good: they treat hacking as a problem and scandal. To the incredible/bad: they present their (now closed) UK sister publication News of the World as a VICTIM of the hacking problem, rather than as a PERPETRATOR.

Watch, if you can stand to. They roll out some expert, Bob Dilenschneider, to say how hacking is a big problem. It's happened at the Pentagon. It's happened at Citibank. It's happened at the News of the World. When are we going to get serious about it?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!!! Citibank and the Pentagon were the [hackees] -- the objects of hacking, by criminals or spies. Murdoch's News of the World was the [hacker] -- the perpetrator, the criminal-or-spy counterpart.
I submit that this could not happen at any other news organization. Rather, it could not happen at a news organization. It happened at the agitprop operation known as Fox News.
Is it a surprise that they even spin news about their own dishonesty?
