All MSM outlets pretty much have civil lawsuit immunity after New York Times v. Sullivan. Theoretically you can get around it by showi g actual malice, but it's virually impossible. The failed lawsuits against The National Enquirer show this.

But a Trump admin could indict propagandists for “impersonating a journalist”. Fraudulently selling a product is a crime and “wire fraud” that crosses state lines even more so.

Wasn’t there a published story recently where some reporters actually said that these times call for the press to throw out objectivity to manipulate the outcome of the election??? By their own published words!!! Then there is the Sheryl Attkinson story witnessing reporters being told to destroy Trump. It is so obvious to so many people -— res ipsa loquitur!!! Someone wrote recently that the press had jumped the shark this time -— LET’S FEED THEM THAT SHARK!!!
