What David and Troy said are true: FoxCorp is huge, and is broken down into several divisions. Fox News and Fox TV are very different. The programming as well: Fox TV can't show programs that are available on FoxNews.
People get it confused all the time, but at least you're willing to listen.

FoxNews is not on the public airwaves.
If it was, you could pick up their signal with an antenna as opposed to having to subscribe to a cable or streaming service.

The Fairness Doctrine's repeal certainly didn't do anything to curb free press.

It was not the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. It never policed news or mandated truth, and it wasn't enforced for almost 20 years before it's eventual repeal.

Well, either you spoke to idiots or you misinterpreted what knowledgeable people said, because you are way, way off on this.

Imagine the current administration with the power to determine what constitutes a lie and being able to punish the media outlets who do so.
Trump's bad enough trying to abuse the office without having that power. I'd hate to see him or someone like him in the future having it.
