For heaven’s sake, and for our democracy’s sake, their corrupt propaganda displays disguised as news media need to be called out in a matter public arena, like broadcast from their organization, and each and every one of them held accountable for their lies!
Really powerful framing of this as a character qualifications issue rather than just free speech. The distinction Preston Padden draws is kinda crucial because it shifts the debate from whether Fox can say what it wants to whether it deserves the privilege of holding public airwaves at all. Its one thing to have editorial bias, but knowingly broadcasting lies for profit after thejudge ruled it crystal clear crosses into betraying the public trust. The FCC's selective reinstatement of petitions really shows how political this whole process has become.
