Fox News has robust constitutional protections guarding it from those who would seek to measure the truth, and truth-seeking as a general practice is fraught with difficulty, generally ill suited for enforcement action in all but the most extreme cases such as those where it can be proved that the speaker knew otherwise. The number and of strawberries going into a pastry is a lot easier to measure as a fact, and advertising that makes claims about strawberry content in the course of trade is not so protected.

That's just gaslighting about Fox News. I watch it just to know what the latest thing my older relatives are going to be outraged by, and they lie all the time! Defending it by saying that truth is unknowable is gaslighting.

>Fox News has robust constitutional protections guarding it from those who would seek to measure the truth, and truth-seeking as a general practice is fraught with difficulty Yeah that's not this. I'm referring to people like Tucker Carlson who--in order to defend himself against charges of slander--essentially used the defense that he's known to lie/exaggerate, thus people know not to believe him.[0] Would be akin to Kellogg's defending with, "people know processed foods are garbage".
