Fox says they are entertainment and not news. It was a very smart move by them because they don’t need to be accountable

My first thought, too.

"You idiots are supposedly the journalists", but meanwhile Fox News has stated multiple times in a court of law that they are an Entertainment channel and that "no reasonable person would view their statements as factual".

Fox News is "News" like WWE is "Sports". It's very entertaining, but ultimately just that, not real.

This is not accurate. They argued in court that some of their commentary shows such as Tucker Carlson are not news and are entertainment. Fox News is a regsitered news agency and they are supposed to hold to journalistic standards.

Just like everything else with the Trump Administration, ‘decorum’ and ‘standards’ mean absolutely nothing unless there are penalties behind them.
