How Fox reported the outcome of Scooter Libby's trial:
SCOOTER LIBBY FOUND NOT GUILTY OF LYING TO FBI INVESTIGATORS.
How most other outlets reported it:
Former top White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been found guilty of obstruction of justice and perjury in connection with the scandal over the leak of a CIA agent's identity. Libby, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted on four out of five counts in the case, after a trial that highlighted the White House's campaign to justify the war in Iraq. He was found guilty of one count of obstruction of justice, one of making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and two counts of perjury.
Remember, folks: it's not how many crimes you get convicted for that counts, it's how many you DON'T get convicted for!
