Fox was never fined, they where sued by "Dominion Voting Systems Corporation" for defamation and settled out of court for close to 800m. No government body penalized Fox for lying.
How is that not the case? Instead of Rupert Murdoch lying to you now it's Elon Musk, new media is just an evolution of the same bullshit.
You're completely right and after looking into it further I was wrong. I thought that because the US had broadcast licenses the FCC enforced a broadcasting standard but after further research and because of the weird obsession with free speech. In America you're right there is no difference between new and alt media. I still think that in other countries where broadcasters are held to a standard there is a big difference between the two.
