This sounds a little, umm, dangerous. Like the government dictating the news and what the "truth" is. Sort of a "you are allowed to say whatever you want, as long as you say what we tell you" kind of a deal.
I'm no fan of Fox News or the right wing (or left wing) bull$hit machines, but the gubmint shouldn't be in the business of deciding "truth".
