Subject: Fox News lies about being used as human shields. They never left their hotel

Video about Fox News lies about being used as human shields
this comment on Reddit sums up the high points
Fox journalists were never present at the site, someone who was unqualified was sent (I imagine out of cowardice.)
The journalists that did go went because they wanted, and were not held against their will. From the CNN's Nic Robertson's own account, they were rushed out once they got their material.
The compound had already been attacked, and further attacks can be carried out without fear for the journalist's lives since they have not been held there. If any human shields are being used, it is those of Gaddafi loyalist and civilians whose Gaddafi's supporters made sure to make the journalists aware of when they came.
Someone who puts his own life on the line for the accuracy of the news he presents is obviously going to be offended by a news group that puts unqualified personal just so they can say they were there and that later reports tabloid quality headliners as news.
Fox proves once again they are Yellow Journalists

That sounds like something I'd hear on "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Report" (The Human Sheilds that is).

Well, FOX is not news, it's propaganda and entertainment. I wouldn't expect them to put their lives on the line.
