Rosenworcel deemed the complaints seeking to weaponize FCC licensing authority as "fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment," rejecting all four cases on these grounds.
Westling stated that while he agrees with Rosenworcel, the DC Circuit Court mandates the FCC to address news distortion complaints, indicating a potential path for the original complainants to contest dismissals.
The Center for American Rights criticized Rosenworcel's decision, calling it 'political and self-serving,' arguing that major networks have engaged in partisan actions undermining the integrity of the media.
The Media and Democracy Project expressed intention to appeal Rosenworcel's dismissal regarding Fox, citing court precedents questioning the Murdochs' qualifications for operating Fox.
