They used it as a defence in court. Multiple times. Something to the effect of "no reasonable person would believe they were being truthful/ serious."

Edit: apparently this defence was only used for shows like O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson, not the whole channel. Personally I don't think the average FN viewer would be able to discern the distinction, but who knows.
