Aside from the obvious example of O'Reilly, others on FOX have been editorializing instead of reporting - and blatantly mis-representing, ignoring, or making up facts to support their views...
and why no outrage at FOX over their own "reporters" continuing lies/willful ignorance/propoganda?

You're confusing reporters and commentators.
Reporters on FOX do a fine job of reporting the news, in an unbiased manner ("We report, you decide"). In panic situations, air crashes, etc., not every fact is known, and the people/victims/witnesses who are talking often have only a part of the story. The trapped Russian sub in a current example - initial reports said the prop was caught in a fish net, and they had enough air for 24 hours. Later reports said the sub was trapped in an underwater sensor cable, and there was more air. These people have to go on the air and tell/show video that is available (but perhaps incomplete, maybe not accurate). You can't hold the instant reporter to the standard of a weekly or monthly magazine.
O'Reilly, Hannity, Colmes, etc. are commentators giving opinions - like the commie editors of your Toronto newspaper on their editorial page. Thank God for the freedom to comment and editorialize, and for the education that allows us to read and think.
