Fox Corp. is fighting a petition to deny a broadcast license renewal to its local Philly station over Fox News airing lies about the 2020 election.
“MAD fails to offer any credible support for its false claim that ‘FOX has not operated WTXF-TV and its other stations in a manner that served the public interest, convenience and necessity’ under the Act,” the objection stated.
“In addition to the threshold legal problem with MAD’s request, the allegations on which MAD bases that request are false,” Fox wrote. “There is absolutely no evidence that the content about which the Petitioners go on at length ever aired on Fox 29 Philadelphia. Thus, MAD’s case also fails as a factual matter.”
“MAD offers no evidence that FTS or Fox 29 Philadelphia aired the content of which they disapprove, nor does MAD contend with the obvious First Amendment problems of conducting the broad, content-based inquiry that it seeks,” the objection said. “Given that MAD had failed to even allege any relevant evidence concerning the station or its licensee, it has failed to plead a prima facie case of broadcast news distortion.
“It also would, for the first time in history, have the Commission adjudicate a broadcast license renewal on the basis of cable network content, in violation of the First Amendment and the authority delegated to the Commission by Congress,” Fox warned.
