snip.... FoxNews has the largest following.....its "honesty" in reporting".....is simply your personal belief. And in reality, the true facts don't bear that out. In fact, they emphasize quite the opposite.

It's astounding that Fox fans ignore the legal defenses Fox uses in court. They amount to 'our talking heads are just spouting opinions and lying, which is okay because 'no one really believes us' anyway.

"The network's lawyers write, as they have before, that Fox was merely relaying inherently newsworthy claims by Trump and his surrogates. The lawyers contend the supposedly defamatory statements often involved hyperbolic characterizations or mere opinions.
(Fox attorneys previously fended off an unrelated defamation lawsuit against star Tucker Carlson filed by a woman who had an affair with Trump by arguing no one believes that what the Fox star says is literally true.) "
