    We absolutely have laws that regulate portions of news coverage. Yeah, they can’t tell them what to say or what not to say, but there could exist laws that prevent owners from exerting too much influence over it.

      How would such a law work and not infringe on freedom of speech as it has been codified by jurisprudence?

        I thought your laws for example had standards about news vs entertainment, which is why the idiots at Fox keep getting away with misinformation.
