It’s kinda of a mystery — kind of — why Fox News could argue in defamation cases that it’s really “entertainment,” not “news” with no derivative consequences in other contexts. The principle of estoppel is central to case law: basically, that if you make a factual claim in one court, it carries the same weight in other courts. It‘s an amazing technique for (wait for it…) preventing people from lying!Granted, the judiciary and the executive are different branches yadda yadda, but it seems like Fox’s defense provided a pretext for regulatory agencies to forbid Fox News from calling itself that. IANAL, true; but, read against the grain, that also means I Am Not a Part of a System That Has Utterly Failed to Reign in Rupert Murdoch’s Decades of Systematic Abuses. IANAPOASTHFTRIRMDOSA
