Welcome to the News community!
Rules:

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

MODERATORS
They’ve been implying this throughout the whole trial. It’s unreal that they would state this as fact. Either this should fall under the FCC’s definition of broadcast news distortion, or they should update their definition.

They don't have to because they aren't legally a news network. They are legally Fox Entertainment. There was a whole lawsuit about that.
Which one? I thought they lost the suit against Dominion.
You're mixed up with Tucker Carson's show winning against a lawsuit by saying it's just entertainment.
You're like 20 years late on this realization.
I’ve been aware. I actively report deliberately false information, and am encouraging others to do so as well. Opinions are not a breach of FCC regulations. These claims appear to have been stated as facts.
You file complaints to the FCC?
Yup. They have a consumer report portal. You can find it by reading the link I posted above, or go directly to it here:
https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov
That's badass. Respect.
I usually use the online portal for TV and select “indecency” for reporting false information. I may actually call over this piece. I’ll have to get my hands on the original broadcast first.
Do it. If you've got the info they'll respond to, absolutely.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're wrong.
Fox News isn't broadcast, so the FCC doesn't have purview to regulate it.
That’s false. Fox News is available as a television network over VHF, as well as an AM radio station. They are regulated by the FCC. I’ve received responses to my reports to the FCC in the past.
