I don't know how it would be carried out, but couldn't there be a cease and desist order
against Fox "News" for inciting violence? or fomenting a coup? or interfering with official proceedings (elections)? or...

3. There is nothing criminal about lying to the public.

As the Jan. 6 insurrectionists have found out, it is illegal to act on the lie.

The Civil courts may accomplish what the criminal courts can't.

4. No.

Brandenburg v. Ohio says the First Amendment protects any speech that doesn't meet the test of being intended to incite imminent lawless action. In other words, the incitement has to be specific and immediately meant to cause an unlawful act. What Fox does might be considered stochastic terrorism, but it lacks the specificity needed to take it outside the coverage of the First Amendment.

8. But Trump's speech prior to the Trump Insurrection does indeed meet the test.

So why is he still walking around free, campaigning for a second term? He should be arrested, indicted, convicted and in jail by now.

So quick to use the government to suppress any evidence or people they have been indoctrinated to hate.

Every time. Every situation.

But we are the fascists.... uhhuh.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Good thing for Faucci, Biden, Shuemer, Pelosi, Pfizer, Scarbourough, NYT, CNN, too many other leftists to list, amiright?
