With it's legal defense repeatedly being along the lines of "we're not a news station, we're only entertainment! Nobody would actually take what we say seriously!"
They did more damage to the country by lying to the population on TV, because that was what brainwashed the gullible and enabled the normalisation of hate and cult-like "us vs them" thinking.
Fox News, OANN, Sky News, NewsMax, Sinclair Broadcast Group, and countless right wing rage radio stations, ALL knowingly told lies in support of an insurrection.
Their broadcast and business licenses should have been revoked and all of their assets seized.
If we lived in a functional nation, they would have been.
I disagree. They are deliberate liars. And they’ve realized that they can lie freely and indiscriminately and suffer no consequences. That court decision freed pundits to spread misinformation (propaganda) at will in the guise of important news coverage. The spin is completely out of control because the line between free speech and malicious intent is, at least by our laws, blurry at best.

Yeah, it's not just that they are liars....they are incompetent liars.
DemSumBigAssRidges
Make no mistake: they are competent. They got in office, and they are pushing their shit through. Do not underestimate them.
