Capitalism working exactly as designed, siphoning more & more money to fewer & fewer, creating monopolies, killing competition, & buying politicians to kill regulations. It’s a scam. We all know it. Socialism doesn’t want free stuff. It just doesn’t want 10 old men to hoard all the resources.

Well, cable stations aren't broadcasters, for one thing. CNN, Disney+. HBO Max, Paramount, et al, are nationwide. There's no issue of scarce spectrum to be allocated, which is part of the basis for the FCC's authority to regulate in a way that would otherwise be unconstitutional.

FOX News is a **cable channel**, not a broadcast station. They do not carry an FCC license and are not subject to FCC regulations or oversight.

Curtis 🇺🇦 @curtisal.bsky.social

There are TV stations that are Fox affiliates, which are regulated by the FCC. Those are owned by companies like Sinclair Inc. The FCC has loosened the market ownership rules. Sinclair, IIRC, sent a memo that all station's local news had to run positive Trump stories during the 2016 election cycle.

Local FOX affiliates are NOT part of FOX News. I work for a local FOX affiliate and we DO NOT AIR ANY FOX NEWS PROGRAMMING. It is against FCC regulation to air FOX News programming on OTA stations. Sinclair can run their local news any way they please, as do we.

Like I said at first, the terms were just changed in august. My assumption is the Fox lawyers are covering the station’s ass after paying $787M for lying about the Dominion voting machines. Either way, FoxNews is not, not ever was, a news source anymore than you’re the king of England.
