In the medias case. Legal Precedent is on their side. The person they’ve lied about needs to be able to prove in a court of law that the media knowingly and maliciously lied. Not just that they lied. But they knew prior to it was a lie and maliciously printed it anyway.

Slander is a form of defamation involving the act of making a false, oral statement that harms another person's reputation. Unlike libel, which refers to written or published defamatory statements, slander specifically concerns spoken words or transient forms of communication.
To be legally actionable, a slanderous statement must generally be:
False
Communicated to a third party
Damaging to the person’s reputation, livelihood, or relationships
In many jurisdictions, certain types of statements are considered slander per se, meaning harm is presumed and does not need to be proven. These include false claims about:
Criminal behavior
Having a contagious or loathsome disease
Professional incompetence or misconduct
Sexual misconduct or impotence
Slander is typically treated as a civil wrong (tort), allowing victims to sue for damages. However, it is harder to prove than libel due to the lack of a permanent record.
It's an act of war against this country.

MAKE FALSE REPORTING ILLEGAL
Not to mention getting attacked by nuts for being an "-ism", then legal justice wouldn't even be enforced and some would even cheer.
