Not sure about that... The fascist channels are self-proclaimed "entertainment" not "news." The right-wing nut-job treason-weasels can still spew their filth and bile, just not under the heading of "news."

Do you honestly believe that if FNC were re-branded "Fox Cable" or "Fox Information" or "Fox Politics", all of a sudden, the people watching it would go "Wow! It's not news at all! I better turn to CNN, it still has 'news' in it! But not MSNBC, it doesn't!"?
*Especially* id Fox repeated, over and over, 'By the way, our name change was FORCED by the Government, who don't want us telling you the TRUTH!'? Spoiler: No. No, they would not. If anything, they'd more fervently believe.
Then these censorious goofs like your interlocutor would start demanding that Fox not be allowed to say *that* and so on and so on and so on. (“There was an old woman who swallowed a fly…”)
There’s no legal distinction between news or entertainment. You’ve been corrected on this in the past. Still can’t believe you haven’t googled the First Amendment by now.
