I skimmed the complaint. It's (obviously) utter nonsense that will be dismissed with prejudice. But if not, then I look forward to joining the class action against Fox News, et al.
- Fox news was ruled to be entertainment, not news.
  
  Courts do not rule on what is news or entertainment 🤣
  
  They rule on anything if it becomes a matter of law. Fox News argued they were entertainment not news, and so laws about journalism don't apply to them
  The court ruled on it, because it now became a matter of law, it must be decided first to know which laws apply in the case
  It might not have been a good ruling, but they did in fact legally judge them to be entertainment and not news.

  BTW - I would love to see the court ruling you think decided that "Fox News" is "entertainment" and not "news" as a finding of fact.
  Hint - then thing you're going to find will talk about the difference between "statements of facts" and of "opinion". Which is not saying that "Fox is entertainment not news". Those terms apply to any speech that is being claimed as defamatory.
  
  "Journalism laws" 🤣🤣🤣
  
  Do you have to possess below-average intelligence to be a member of sh.itjust.works, or is it just a good way to fit in?
  
  Nobody "licenses" or decides what is "news" or "entertainment". Jesus Christ - where do you people get this shit?
