1. I'd like to see someone take FOX to court to make it stop calling itself "news"

when it isn't news; it's entertainment.

In 1923, Congress passed a federal law that prohibited "filled milk" from being sold as unadulterated milk*. It ended up in SCOTUS in 1938, called United States v. Carolene Products Company. And filled milk could no longer be sold as "milk".


* Filled milk is any milk product, such as skim milk, that has had its natural milk fat replaced with non-dairy fats like vegetable oils, such as coconut or palm oil. This is typically done to reduce costs while maintaining the milk-like texture, appearance, and functionality of real dairy products.

Back to my contention. If what FOX claims is news when it really is commentary and not journalism, the channel and stations shouldn't be allowed to call it "news".
