When will anything be done about the incessant lies spewed forth by Fox News?

1. Not much regulation.

Lawsuits seem to be the only thing that puts a dent in Fox News. Maybe more of those.

2. Good Grief! And good question!

My experience with Fox News was in a waiting room about a year ago. The "breaking news" then was Hillary's emails!

3. Is there still a 'truth in advertising' law?

they're selling something, and it sure isn't news.

5. Fox News was found by a court of appeals to be "entertainment " and not news so it

is ok for them to lie!

4. Won't happen in my lifetime.

6. 1st Amendment protects all speech.

And before all the fairness doctrine folks chime in, they are not on the publicly owned airwaves so even if we brought it back it would not apply to them.

7. When they kick Rupert Murdoch out of the country and shut down his businesses...

He is very anti-American.

9. I wonder sometimes if some American...

... kicked sand in his face, and stole his girlfriend, on some beach many years ago.

Murdoch had a bust of Lenin (Russian revolutionary) on display in his college dorm room years ago, and he still openly supports various liberal agendas in his home country of Australia!

8. It's nearly impossible for politicians to sue anyone...

... for slander. So those types of "news" organizations attack the Democratic representatives relentlessly, and little can be done about it.

Trump got a (deserving) taste of it, and he whined like a baby just like I anticipated after he'd enjoyed the privilege of those types of lawsuits for years as a business owner.

It's a different story among private citizens and businesses, as recently witnessed by the paranoid Newsmax anchor who walked off the set while the MyPillow idiot was accusing Dominion (voting machines) of impropriety.
