I think over-generalizing can be very dangerous here. The lawsuit itself, of course, tells us nothing; just about anyone can sue just about anyone for just about anything. But the evidence tells us that Fox News provides the kind of "information" their listeners want to hear. And of course, to some extent, indeed every provider will tailor what they want to say to their audience—that's part of good communication. But to assume that therefore all information providers display the same bias as Fox News did—or even that Fox News themselves always display the same sort of bias that they did in this case (although I tend to believe that they do)—is probably over-generalizing.
