There is a movement, extending even to Congress, to take Fox News off the air, or to have ISPs block it.

  There are lots of batshit ideas that get that far. Let's pay attention to help make sure they don't get into law.

    It’s a clear violation of freedom of the press, but never mind.

      It's an idea that hasn't gained traction. Fox News isn't cancelled, and the freedom of the press has not been infriged, even if some folks want that to happen. Fox is so popular as to be undeniably mainstream, but still pushes a persecution narrative that they're on the brink of cancellation. It hasn't happened. There's no bill, no law, no executive order. Perhaps onesuch could violate the freedom of the press, if enforced, but nonesuch exists.

  Which will obviously go precisely nowhere. Maybe they are a handful of people in Congress saying that, but it will never come anywhere near being law and even if it did it would be struck down immediately.
