5. Yes. But there's nothing that says you can't legally require calling a spade a spade.

I'd very much like to see a law that says that if you're gonna call it news (in any form), it cannot turn a monetary profit for the parent company. Pay hannity or rush their millions form the ad buys and the ratings or whatever, but the owning company cannot make a buck. And if NOT that, it has to be announced before and after every commercial break that this is ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.
3 strikes and you get your license pulled and fuck you very much.

Rush and hannity and jones would be off the air in a month.
