I can’t speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.
They’re not a “news” organization. They’re corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a “trusted news source” for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.
That’s great and all, but their behavior and actions are that of a news agency regardless, so wouldn’t they have to face the same scrutiny as a news agency?
Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?

I mean, it’s not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.

Please share the source for your claim about certification? My searching left me nothing but a snopes article debunking similar claims.

Changing the text of articles from AP should be breaking a law somewhere.
They’ll just spin it as liberal woke media doing blahdeda.
It does sound like it could be defamation again, which they’d probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.
