Your list is long. NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, USA Today, The New Yorker, and the parade of individuals of all stripes who cannot resist the lure of the bright lights and cameras to echo and validate your accusers in the media.
The only way to stop it is to make it so expensive no one dares.
Agreed, tho it’s not necessary to resort to violence. The thing to do is to sue the MSM for the restoration of your reputation.

Require the MSM to headline/feature in broadcast, so much pro-Kavanaugh propaganda - on pain of insupportable daily fines and having to broadcast the judgement against them on the news, or print it on the front page - that Kavanaugh’s name polls positively. Consistently positively.

When I say, “the MSM,” what I actually mean is “the Associated Press and its member newspapers and broadcasters.” Concomitant with the libel suit, sue that bunch under the Sherman AntiTrust Act of 1890. Adam Smith’s criticism of monopoly goes like this:  

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
That bunch has been “meeting together,” virtually, on a continual basis since before the Civil War. And not for “merriment and diversion,” either.

The “conspiracy against the public” is the promotion of criticism of American society - and the concomitant promotion of big government to cure society’s putative ills. Raised to a level of cynicism toward the one and naiveté towards the other. Kavanaugh just happens to be the name du jour for journalism’s targeting of society. George Zimmerman, the Duke lacrosse team, the SBVT, Roy Moore . . . the name of who is persecuted by that bunch is “legion, for we are many.” Including, essentially, every Republican of any prominence.

BTW, Sherman provides for quadruple damages in civil litigation.

You are wrong

All can and will claim 1st amendment protection. They can say what ever they want whenever they want and they will.

What you have suggested is water off a duck’s back.

Kumbaya is counterproductive
