    Everything else is entertainment media, and they’ve even gone to court to prove it themselves

    If by “they” you mean Fox News exclusively, then yes, that’s correct. Fox News has made that argument in court.

      … But there would only ever be one case in the first place? Because once FOX won it applied to everyone else too? There was never a need for additional cases, they all benefited.

      Seriously, go watch CNN from a year before that case, and then from a year after it. They and everyone else took the ball and ran with it, never looking back.

      And of course they did, they’re corporations. They’re in the business of making money, not improving the world. Why would they hamstring themselves by playing by a different set of rules than the competition?
