I'm sorry but I simply cannot agree to that. It's an established fact that companies will do whatever they please as long as it's profitable regardless of ethical concerns. Somebody will always be angry at whatever decision is made. Therefore the path to most profitability is most often the chosen one even if it's unethical. The leaders at Fox KNOW they are lying. But they do whatever keeps eyes on their channel. Unless there is a tangible threat that "Your license will be removed," or something else that will hurt them badly, why should they stop? This is why OSHA exists. And as a former journalist who now works with a large company, I know firsthand the fear that companies have of OSHA. And I have no doubt were it not for OSHA, there would be many more workplace injuries and deaths.

And this is why I used the term "sane people." Leaders need to let these organizations operate independently of political concerns.
