    According to this FCC fact sheet:

    Equal opportunities and other political-related benefits are available only to individuals who have attained the status of “legally qualified candidate.” These rules do not apply to cable channels or web-based video or audio such as streamed video content, podcasts, or social media.

    And since Fox News is a cable channel, it does not apply

      I’m almost positive that Fox isn’t cable… It’s broadcast and carried by cable companies because they’re required to do so by the FCC

          Oh my god!

          The upside to this is that I’ve proven my honesty about getting kicked out of film school

          I have to admit, I love being wrong because it means that I learned something new. Thanks and thank you for your incredibly gentle response.
