Title is a little clickbaity seeing as this is specific to a local Philadelphia station. Would be nice if this was true though. There are really no consequences at all for making shit up.
Sadly, that’s a first amendment right. And the government grants the license so it’s a pretty open/shut case the license should be renewed.
However, I draw issue with presenting opinions and falsehoods as “news.” News implies truth. Maybe shows that only pretend to be news should be forced to have a disclaimer beforehand. We already have disclaimers for plenty for media that don’t really need it.
Knowingly presenting opinions and falsehoods as facts/truths should have consequences too. Though, that’s hard to prove.
We’ve unfortunately decided as a society to leave consequences to the state. The state is by and for capitalists only (i.e. capital owners, not you). When Fox is a threat to capitalist’s money and power, they’ll see real consequences, until then, probably not.

I dont think i would consider it a first ammendment issue when they are presenting lies as news.

There are no consequences for just about anything if you have enough money :)

Both countries are and have been run by the same class of people. Nothing has changed.
They literally won a court case about being able to lie as a news organization, they made that possible so don’t hold you breath
AFAIK they didn’t – instead they said they were an entertainment org instead of a news org.
