As far as I know Fox News is not banned, so I am not sure about your arguments above...
Also, we are talking about spam list here. What would basic tenets of "intellectualism" and "curiosity" have to do with spam?

1) It should go without saying that there is nothing that prevents anybody from falsely labeling a group they don't like as "spam" even if they were not actually spamming.
2) Even if "spam" from a particular organization exists, it doesn't necessarily imply that they were the ones doing the spamming. Even in the pre-AI era it would be pretty trivial for even 1 dedicated person with too much time on their hands to try and create a bunch of fake accounts on a site and spam a particular domain in order to try and get it blocked.
