Fox News did NOT go to court. And neither did their subsidiary. There were SUED by 2 employees over wrongful termination.

Were they the good guys in the court battle? I doubt it.

But neither are you when you twist shit and try to make it seem to the reader that FNC went to court (which insinuates they brought it to court themselves) in order to get a ruling that allows them to "lie" during their newscasts.

That never happened. Thus...a LIE. Not sure if you even know the difference anymore.
They were sued and lost.. They then appealed which is "yes" them taking it back to court and they won, not because the merits of the case were false, but because the reporter in question didn't qualify as a whistle blower according to the court.

...and yes the case was very much about them being able to tell their reporters to lie. You can try to push your agenda and claim half truths but you are wrong.
