Do you think the Biden administration should shut down Fox News? (poll)

125. Oh my..Where to begin?

The central point of my post is that there ARE exceptions to Protected Speech and they are NOT necessarily limited to the well known example I gave. The fact of THAT example having been "tested to its limits", doesn't mean, it's the only, or even one of the only possible exceptions. You speak of the text of Constitution and it's possible applications, as if it's a "one and done" document, but that's simply not the case..It is open to interpretation, and it's "testing", since it usually pertains to new situations in an ongoing world, continues, as it must.
In regard to Fox News, you claim that 'facts and lies' aren't mentioned in the constitution, but the Supreme Court, in several instances, has ruled that false statements are NOT protected by the Constitution.
As to Fox News being uncovered by false advertising laws because they only cover "products", you may have to expand your concept of "product" beyond things that can be packaged in cans; Fox News Programning IS a product, a media product which is sold to advertisers and distributed electronically to consumers, so yes, it can fall under that definition.
