This is a fox affiliate, it's associated with a separate broadcast organization under the Fox umbrella. Fox affiliates have much different reporting standards than Fox News and linking a fox affiliate is functionally the same as linking any other local tv source

This is extremely dangerous for our democracy?

That line was broadcasted from some Fox affiliates with the autonomy of the stations' owner, Sinclair, which also broadcasted that line through stations with non-Fox affiliations.

So there should be no issue finding a source thats not Fox and doesnt support the same umbrella that protects Fox News proper.

Sounds like you are supporting their business though, regardless of their veracity they are part of an awful disgusting fascist propagandist network.
