Title is a little clickbaity seeing as this is specific to a local Philadelphia station. Would be nice if this was true though. There are really no consequences at all for making shit up.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There are no consequences for just about anything if you have enough money :)
We've unfortunately decided as a society to leave consequences to the state. The state is by and for capitalists only (i.e. capital owners, not you). When Fox is a threat to capitalist's money and power, they'll see real consequences, until then, probably not.
They literally won a court case about being able to lie as a news organization, they made that possible so don't hold you breath
AFAIK they didn't -- instead they said they were an entertainment org instead of a news org.
No it doesn’t. Be real.
Its not against the law to do what they are thanks to Reagan.
We should require PSAs at the end of all TikTok/Instagram/Youtube social media videos like they had at the end of cartoons when I was a whee PĒB.
They should have to dress up like the clowns they are. Oh, and they should have to register their look/persona in the clown database (no idea what the formal name is).
Maybe a laughing track would help as well?
But I thought Fox News sold off its channels to Disney.
When George W Bush stole the election in 2000 with the Brooks Brothers Riot I knew the conservatives days were numbered.
man, I wonder what the world would look like today without a second bush presidency
