Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?
I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.
I mean, it's not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.
