What makes you think that?
And Congress has no such authority, either. First Amendment.
Think about it - if it were THAT EASY for Congress to take action, WHY have they not done so already? Hell, NIXON would have had the GOP-led Congress do it in a heartbeat.

The FCC does not, in fact, have any authority over cable channels like FOX News.

Punish them how?
Take away their license? They don't have one....
Fine them for their news content? First Amendment violation...
FOX, OAN? Cable channels: Not regulated or licensed by the FCC

OK, let's get something clear - I work for a local FOX station, and I'm going to tell you the same thing we tell the HUNDREDS of other people to complain to us about FOX News:
WE ARE NOT FOX NEWS.
WE DO NOT AIR ANY FOX NEWS PROGRAMMING.
WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER FOX NEWS.
STOP CALLING US.

Cable channels do not use public airwaves, thus they do not NEED nor are they required to carry a license from the FCC. The FCC only licenses **local broadcast stations** that utilize public airwaves

Again, FOX News is a **cable channel**, NOT a broadcast station. As they do not have use public airwaves, the FCC has no oversight over them. They are not subject to FCC regulations. Period. They have no “contractual agreement” with the FCC, and there no such FCC “general media rules”

Second, for the Democrats to “move” on FOX News would been a blatant violation of the First Amendment and a clear abuse of power. Is that what you want??

First off, there is no such thing as a “news” license OR an “entertainment” license. There are only “broadcast” licenses, and only broadcast stations are required to carry them. 1/
