My knee-jerk sense of fair play has me wondering how/why Fox News license holders are not at risk of losing theirs, given the self-acknowledged mendacity of some of its on-air personalities. To me, that goes directly to 'character qualifications', but perhaps cable TV network owners do not face the same standards as their broadcast radio station colleagues.

Yeah, broadcast and cable are regulated very differently because radio spectrum is a limited shared public resource while cable is mostly private property and essentially unlimited channels.
