I agree, but I remember reading a book about the media, and basically a un named executive stated that the media was above all the laws of slander and libel because they define the news, but they can also hide behind the, we did the fact check and our source lied.
The media, makes the story, creates the narrative, and forces policy, but are protected by being able to throw their source under the bus.
