Let me tell you how this progresses.
1. Pundit claims to be a news source.
2. Pundit reports news while giving opinions.
3. FCC says, “Wait, you’re openly sharing opinion. Our categories exist for a reason, you can’t do that as a news source.”
4. Pundit gets called in on the carpet.
5. Pundit issues the “Limbaugh Defense”, claiming they’re playing a character and can therefore say what they want.
6. Pundit manages to avoid serious fines on the grounds they re-categorize to Entertainment.
