There's over 200 countries on this planet.
Some (i.e.: Canada) have truth-in-journalism laws prohibiting their news media from broadcasting false or misleading information.
Given the fact that the internet provides everyone on the planet instant access to global news providers - including those of countries with laws against lying on (or by) their news media - your question makes little rational sense.
