edit: removed not, added diversity of ideas

It is still a vital interview others should be able to watch and decide on what to think.

I do not think censoring is okay, not even people you hate or disagree with, again a diversity of ideas should be encouraged.

Thank you for the article!

Wow, a similar thing happened with Rachel Maddow: https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/may/23/san-diego-judge-dismisses-oans-10-million-defamati/

Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The "‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary.’ "

Media lawyers note this is not the first time this sort of defense has been offered. A $10 million libel lawsuit filed by the owners of One America News Network against MSNBC’s top star, Rachel Maddow, was dismissed in May when the judge ruled she had stretched the established facts allowably: “The context of Maddow’s statement shows reasonable viewers would consider the contested statement to be opinion.”

The Fox team’s legal briefs compared Carlson’s show to radio talk-show programs hosted by ex-MSNBC and Fox Business star Don Imus, who won a case more than two decades ago because an appellate court ruled that “the complained of statements would not have been taken by reasonable listeners as factual pronouncements but simply as instances in which the defendant radio hosts had expressed their views over the air in the crude and hyperbolic manner that has, over the years, become their verbal stock in trade.”
