whatever said:
That doesn't change the fact that Fox (WTVT) argued (and the court agreed) that distorting the news is not illegal: "We agree with WTVT that the FCC's policy against the intentional falsification of the news-which the FCC has called its “news distortion policy”-does not qualify as the required “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102." |
Which you know... doesn't actually mean anything. They did it to prevent a pointless lawsuit without merit. Any newstation would of done the same.
Also, they didn't even argue that it wasn't illegal. They argued that it wasn't against section 448.102 of the whistleblower law.
