Shortly before President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Fox took the same news that formed the basis for PolitiFact's "Lie of the Year" - Mitt Romney's false claim that Chrysler's decision to build Jeeps in China would cost U.S. jobs - re-distorted the facts, declared Romney a truth teller and suggested President Obama had won re-election based on a lie. Oh, and while they were at it, attacked PolitiFact as leftist liars.
