There is no such thing as a "possible violation". Either there is a violation or there is not. No in between.

The so called "possible violation" is not in breach of any law or regulation. Only a real violation is in breach of a law or regulation.

Not really

maybe MSNBC
but most media is not aware of its bias Fox knows that it is a biased source
they actively promote republican causes.

Why do you liberals always accuse fox news of everything :roll:

Even a "Conservative" would recognize Fox News for what it is.

I am a independent my girlfriend is a conservative but she is a register independent I like to here from both sides but fox news is unwatchable way to bias not even cnn is that bais :wink:

I know. I used the term "possibly" because I don't know what the FEC regulations are.

To put it briefly, you do not know what you are talking about.

I know the difference between an indictable offense and something that is not. Fox News has done nothing for which it has been indicted. Therefore what Fox News has done is legal and within the law therefore legally innocent. Anyone not convicted of a crime is innocent. Anyone not indicted for an offense is legally innocent. And legally is all that counts. Ones opinions and judgments are of no account with regard to legal status.

That is the purpose of the present proceedings. To determine whether Fox News has violated any law, rule, or regulation.

This is all logical and can't be disputed. Now exactly what were they being accused of and how is that not an offense/a lie?

Let us know the outcome. If Fox News is fined for stating an editorial opinion then you can kiss freedom of the press goodbye. Fox News is NOT a broadcast entity. It is a cable-cast entity and broadcast rules do not apply. They are not using a scarce resource, to wit, a portion of the elctromagnetic spectrum. Beam casting and cable casting is a different process since beam and cable casts do not interfere with each other.

Okay so what we need to ask is what law is being violated to the person making the accusation. Pandabear?

Of course not.

First, the law explicitly exempts them and unless and until the courts determine that this legislative exemption is unconstitutional, then news media are free to rely upon it as legitimation of their political activities.

Second, and much more fundamentally, a free press is a sine qua non of a functioning democracy.
