    We have a rule on the book that interprets the public interest standard that says ‘news distortion’ is something that is prohibited

    Unbelievable. Nobody tell Fox News

      If Fox News has straight-face lied to its viewers ONLY 25 times a day for the past 29 years, that’s 264,625 actual lies, not jokes.

      So after Fox publicly and explicitly apologizes 264,625 times for each of its egregious lies, we can then entertain the idea of apologizing for delivering truth in the form of a joke on a comedy show.

      Guys, the FCC content rules only apply to Broadcast stations, like ABC. Fox News is cable. Its content is not regulated by the FCC at all. They don’t have jurisdiction.
