Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Of course. Fox "News" is not a news channel. They actually define themselves as "entertainment" so you can't call them out for their lies in court.

This is the weirdest thing liberals believe. There is no such thing as "defining yourself as news or entertainment." There is no legal definition of "news organization".
The lawsuit you're going to reference said that Carlson was "opining" rather than stating "facts" which has a legal definition. Legal definitions don't often match with common usage.
And you can "call anyone out" for lying whether they're a news organization or not.
There was another lawsuit wherein Fox stated that they only showed news for a total of something like 4 hours per day. Some time in the morning and afternoon. Everything else was considered entertainment (despite being displayed as “news”) and therefore had no journalistic obligations (I.e. they could say whatever they wanted). While there may be no clear definition, like you say, journalism has legal protections and responsibilities that are upheld/enforced in courts.

There is literally no such thing in the eyes of the law. They could say whatever they want whenever they want.

No. It does not. The first amendment does not say "if you are a legally recognized journalist". It applies to everybody.
Hannity holds up the start of the forever deficit as an example of how this will cut the deficit. Our brains have tricked down through our heads and out our asses.
