The article doesn't cover it well, but the key arguement seems to be: > A broadcast licensee's authorization to use broadcast spectrum in the public interest carries with it the obligation that the station serves its community. The basic duty of broadcast licensees to serve their communities is reflected in the license renewal provisions of the Communications Act.13 Section 309(k)(1) of the Act provides that the Commission shall grant a license renewal application if it finds, with respect to the applying station, that during the preceding license term, it has served the public interest, convenience, and necessity and that there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or Commission rules, or other such violations, which, taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse. and > The court found that none of FOX’s statements about Dominion were true and held that the statements were defamatory per se.
