A similar idea that no one owns Lake Michigan, but I might still need a fishing license to fishing on the lake.

Yeh, right. A single auction in 2014 netted the government $34 billion. That's not exactly the same as a Michigan fishing license which costs $26 and the capacity to bring in that kind of money at auction certainly qualifies as an asset.

Translated in private industry parlance, the ownership of such assets (to include mineral rights on federal lands/waters) that bring in billions annually in perpetuity (i.e., accounts receivable) does count as assets.

I can if you want, but it's not a subject I care much about...

Correction: It's not a subject you care about if conservatives are the guilty parties. You've squawked plenty about the wingnut teenager on the mall's story which is of no particular consequence compared to Fox spreading the Big Lie that ultimately led to a violent insurrection.

And yes, I would like you to address this scandal on the thread you created to discuss "fake news" in that it is the most flagrant transgression against journalistic ethics in a generation. While doings, please address, in addition to their blatant lying to shore up their stock price, why this story has had exactly zero coverage on Fox News (both TV and website, including their own hour-long Sunday show, Media Buzz, dedicated solely to covering the media).
