For peddling election denying/anti-vaccine/pro-Russia conspiracy theories under the guise of “news,” should Fox News be banned?

No news should be banned. Fox does suck though. I hope President Trump takes Youngkin’s lead and goes on CNN to talk to the public.

It should be banned from federal agencies and military installations just like Sputnik and Russia Today are.

It ought not be allowed to pretend it's news after pleading in court that it isn't news. Fox Comedy can broadcast all the multi-millionaires spewing conspiracy theories it wants.

No? It's free speech. I think people shouldn't watch it though, or at least not the night programming.

Let's be honest the only person that people watch on Fox is Sean Hannity yes they have Ingram and Tucker but if the show didn't have Hannity, he is the younger version of Rush Limbaugh, then it wouldn't be a network, they had Cross fire with Alan Comes but Colmes died and Bill O'Reilly was taken off the air

Cohen was Hannity and Trump lawyer and he despises both now, and the right still like Hannity he doesn't talk about 65M in poverty like Veshi talks on MSNBC or Joy Reid or Symone or Sharpton he airs white greviences on immigration at the border, he talked about Docugate but that's not an issue at the moment it's not a nothing burger but J6 is more important than Docugate and Biden can't be indicted and once Trump loses even if he survives criminal inability all these civil lawsuits are coming after him

Just like DeSantis and Rs are in Davenport IA a state that they know they are gonna win are they in NV, or NH no they may go to SC but even if the RS win SC it's clearly trending left and Tim Scott is retiring in 28 and James Harrison is gonna run

Just like Blue avatars don't talk about 65M I'm poverty but they weren't critical of Biden when he gave us those last stimulus check they criticized him after the stimulus

No, it might be horsesh**t, but CNN is just as bad on the other spectrum.

Banned? No, unless they escalate the stochastic terrorism and end up getting a lot of people killed. I support free speech, but there's a line to be drawn somewhere when it involves inciting violence.

Be allowed to call itself "news" officially? Probably not.

Face consequences for it's actions? Absolutely it should.

They were right on vaccines and Russia. And they were right there was election fraud - just not the insane conspiracy theories peddled by clowns like Mike Lindell, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Dinesh D'Souza.

No, but they should be sanctioned for misrepresenting themselves as "news" when they aren't.

No, instead the left should try to copy the Murdoch strategy but with social media and targeted towards the younger generation. Let’s keep our advdantages this time and cement a solid block of voters for decades.

Fox news is a propaganda outlet, but I'm not for censorship. So no, shouldn't be banned.

I'm all for underhandedness and hardcore strategies, but they must be within the confines of the law.

There is a difference in how someone ought to be treated by society and how they ought to be treated under the law.

I think that every cable provider in America should ditch Fox News. But it shouldn't be on the govt.
