Probably so they don’t get sued for lying and say it was for entertaining purposes
That's literally been the defense Alex Jones has used in court, that it's all entertainment and not real or meant to be believed. Though I think most people don't really consider him a real reporter or news anchor, some do.
Fox used this defense for a slander case Tucker Carlson was involved in, also. The judge ruled:
I just commented above about the general public's inability to understand the difference between journalists, news anchors, and opinion hosts. Too many people can't tell the difference between facts and opinions and will believe whatever a person says, simply because they appear on the air of a news organization.
It's really a sad commentary on the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the general public.
Precisely.
