What about a class action lawsuit on behalf of the general public against the media? Seems to me that, especially in this instance, deliberately reporting falsehoods is endangering the welfare of citizens - like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, knowing there's not really a fire, but just to "see what would happen."

Been trying to figure out just how we could do that myself. Class action suits destroy productive corporations all the time no reason why it shouldn't do the same for destructive ones.

Sign me on. Wonder how many others would join?
