The agreement, according to OP’s source, would prevent them from seeking sources that aren’t official sources, and also locks down a lot of journalist interpretation.
This means that the document basically says they gotta parrot whatever the government says to the press, and not do journalism about it.
Fox news might live on propaganda, but they don’t want to be constrained by whatever propaganda the government is nice enough to give them, they wanna make their own.
I think it’s most likely being rejected because they understand how a slippery slope works and are concerned that soon private media won’t be allowed.

And THAT is the key (at least, in my eyes).
Fox News doesn’t care about facts or even republicans/project 2025. They care about ratings. It is why trump has a love/hate relationship with them where he is shitting on them almost as often as he is calling in. And murdoch et al are smart enough to realize that it will be REAL easy to ban the “not always in lockstep” network in favor of OAN and whatever other horrors the chuds watch.
Its because its less propaganda.
