I despise Fox News and CNN, but unless they took foreign money for those ads and didn’t go through the proper declarations making that clear, you’re presenting a false comparison. Fox and CNN, for all of their hideousness, also didn’t host bots and people having conversations with themselves to manipulate public discussion. They didn’t give the IRA a platform, and didn’t allow the likes of Cambridge Analytica to target high value voters in close states.

Fox certainly took plenty of NRA money, and they were/are taking tons of foreign cash.

The NRA is a domestic lobbying group, and citation on the second point? Remember we’re specifically talking about buying political ads, not just investment in the company.

That’s a problem for the NRA, and if you don’t understand the difference between that and what happened with FB, I can’t help you. Have a nice night.
