Nope. Most lies are protected speech. Defamation and fraud are exceptions, but they have very specific elements.

Not when they're claiming to be news. Opinion is, but news is not. One of faux' tricks is to show actual news... At night when no one watching, and in court claim that it's all bullshit anyway. Literally

-- faux used "no reasonable person would believe anything our anchors say" as a defense in court... And since american judges are mostly chosen for their stupidity, that worked in court.

No - they said reasonable people know Carlson is an opinion show. MSNBC used the same defense of Maddow. And it has nothing to do with judicial “stupidity” and everything to do with the actual law.

Wrong, on both counts. Are you a republican? Faux news junkie? That's about the only kind of person who would attempt such an idiotic bit of both sidesism.

Yes - there is only one kind of person who cares about facts - and it’s not Republicans, Fox News junkies, or you.

You know, these are objective facts which are trivially-findable with a web search and if you actually cared about facts and thus did so, you would find both quotes from the judge's decision in the Carlson/Fox case saying exactly what you're denying 1/

and articles about the Maddow/MSNBC case that quote the judge in *that* case saying basically the same things as the judge in the Carlson/Fox case. But since you so obviously don't care about the facts or the truth I expect you never actually did so. 2/2
