The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster knows the information is false and will cause substantial "public harm" if aired.

FCC rules specifically say that "the public harm: must begin immediately and cause direct and actual damage to property or the health or safety of the general public; or divert law enforcement or public health and safety authorities from their duties."

Fox News' blatant disinformation regarding COVID-19 has already contributed to the spread of the virus and cost lives. This cannot go unpunished. The FCC must step in and revoke Fox News' license to broadcast using America's public infrastructure before more harm can be done.
