Since I suspect most of us self-select towards avoiding Fox News, a bit that may interest us all.
While the article doesn’t say so explicitly, I strongly suspect this is an effort to mitigate the probably lawsuits heading Fox’s way, and if so, I hope it is only the beginning.

That reaction… so, backing down instead of doubling down, when someone points out the Law is on the other guys’ side, is being “WEAK”? Tells you a lot about how their audience view the world.
