The NYTimes headline is wrong, as is pretty common for shoddy reporting regarding the Court.
As the article itself correctly says, 'The F.C.C. orders “did not create an obligation to pay,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote.'
So THE WHOLE POINT of the ruling is that the FCC doesn't have the power to levy fines. The NY Times and so many others get this downright backwards.
We need to recognize how often people rely on reporting that get the story backwards so we can stop trusting them until they improve.
