If you stand so firmly behind this, then why complain about anything FOX has written, reported, etc? Do you go apeshit over everything the National Enquirer reports too? If so, I haven't seen it.
The issue is that Fox News doesn't inform their viewers of the entertainment aspect of their programming; thus their opinions and assertions are taken as factually correct by a large portion of their audience. That has consequences: misinformation, false narratives, illogical conclusions and manufactured outrage.
While person A may know it's entertainment, they still have to deal with the consequences of person B not knowing it; thanks in large part to the news source purposely misleading person B. If it had no actual impact in the real world, then I doubt anyone would care.
