There was another lawsuit wherein Fox stated that they only showed news for a total of something like 4 hours per day. Some time in the morning and afternoon. Everything else was considered entertainment (despite being displayed as “news”) and therefore had no journalistic obligations (I.e. they could say whatever they wanted). While there may be no clear definition, like you say, journalism has legal protections and responsibilities that are upheld/enforced in courts.
You betcha! I mean one of two things has got to happen. Either all that wealth will finally get down to the rest of us, or the “progressive” party will actually be…. progressive… -ish.
