Is the upcoming Dominion defamation trial an existential crisis for Fox? @pastpunditry says the case has "real ramifications... they said there was a wall of church and state between news and opinion. That clearly isn't the case."

The First Amendment guarantees that the government can’t arrest or fine you for speaking, usually even if what you say isn’t true. But incitement is a crime. And you can be sued for slander (or libel if it’s written), so any public lying can have consequences if lies cause harm.

@WhiteHouse should lay down a marker. If @FoxNews loses or settles the Dominion case: Removal from the Press Gallery. No Government Official may be on Fox in Official Capacity. No Cable packages will include Fox News or affiliates on federal territory.
