> The comment about how Fox News has not spent years spewing misinformation simply because it is only talking about "Stop the Steal" nonsense is missing the forest for the trees.
I rarely watch anything from Fox News, so I wouldn't know. The point is the Vox article cited in the letter does not back up the statement made. If it's as bad as you say, surely there must be a better source to cite.
Regardless of any issues with Fox News, Newsmax, or OANN, this letter was lazily written and obviously partisan. It makes many strong statements but fails to back them up with the given sources. The way it and its sources haphazardly throws around the term "misinformation" are concerning, especially when combined with the discomforting notion that telecom companies should be worried their content isn't meeting the expectations of government officials.
