Is it illegal for us to say, Fox News is a Russian propaganda station?

They have already said that they are not a news station and only deal in frivolous entertainment.

If so, why can’t we tell the rest of the world to stop watching them because they basically are lying and passing on propaganda?

They can’t compete with podcasts. Not worth Russia’s time as few Americans are watching.

I guess what I meant was: Could, for instance, msnbc or cnn be sued if they were to issue the statement that Fox News is a propaganda tool for Putin?

fascist like Trump and Fux who trade in lying, maligning, and complete fabrications would certainly TRY to sue for telling TRUTHS.

Just make sure you scrub the search history on your cellphone if you take any foreign trips. Or cross any state lines, if you happen to look hispanic.

More interesting would the answer to the question of whether or not your statement is accurate.
