But the comparison is really even worse than that. Kimmel is using a platform that he has to speak his mind. FOX is inviting others to use their platform and asking them for their opinion. I would venture to say the scenario FOX is presenting is 10x worse because they are wrapping it in the guise of news to add credibility to opinions they wish to elevate.
