"Petition Challenges Fox 29's Broadcast License Renewal Over False Election Claims and Jan. 6 Riot"

The Media and Democracy Project has filed a petition challenging the renewal of Fox 29's broadcast license, alleging that the station rebroadcasted "knowingly false narratives about the 2020 election" from Fox News Channel. While the petition does not directly criticize Fox 29's reporting, it argues that the station's broadcast of Fox News Sunday makes it an "over-the-air extension of Fox News Channel." Fox Television Stations called the filing "frivolous," but the petition cites evidence of intentional news distortion by Fox in a lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems. The FCC rarely takes up such petitions, and it is unlikely to be taken up in this case.
