Then why are they getting away with it? I was wondering if a lawsuit or 10 would help?>>>>>

Because the law of Libel and defamation is established as different between public and private figures in the USA.

In the UK the law favors public figures. First Lady Melania nailed the Daily Mail:

“Melania Trump lawsuit: Daily Mail and MailOnline agree to pay damages to First Lady”

Its harder to do in the USA, but I believe the president should sue in some cases.

Well they certainly need to be held accountable. I don’t see a president ever suing though.
