Actually, no he can't. Fair use is explicitly defined and protected by federal law (at least in America) for protecting consumers from potentially malicious producers; it's what allows things like using movie clips in critical videos. Shannon is very much allowed to put AP code in the script, but he's not allowed by law to determine what constitutes "fair use."
The arguments in this topic are not necessarily about "is or isn't Shannon allowed to determine 'fair use,'" it's mainly "is or isn't the AP code fair" because Shannon does not make public the exact wording of it.
