How to kick Fox News off the air.
The USA is still a nation of laws: Lying is considered protected free speech. HOWEVER: False advertising is illegal. Fox news falsely advertises as a news station when it is actually a propaganda network for the GOP and tabloid. Fox does NOT own the airwaves. According to, “The Communication act of 1934” the airwaves belongs to the public and it’s regulated by the F.C.C.
Ever period of time, a stations FCC license has to be renewed. The public can challenge its renewal. If enough people challenges Fox license renewal then the license is revoke. However you must find out when their license expires,. just a suggestion. Below is the Communication act and FCC links.
