Kelly quoted media icon, the late Edward R. Murrow, “A lie can go around the world while the truth is getting its pants on.”

This sums up the problem right here. Kelly doesn't understand that this quote doesn't apply to a medium where everything is fact checked by hundreds, if not thousands of people, all with the ability to call shenanigans on anything that isn't correct.

Though, since the lie is usually more interesting/shocking and thus attracts more viewers/readers the MSM would rather lead with the lie and retract it later (if at all) thus perpetuating its spread.
