Aren't there laws preventing journalism/media from trying deliberately to affect an election through biased reporting?

The law gives the media quite a legal loophole. One must prove Malice for the media to be held accountable. In the past, most lawsuits were dropped for a finding of "absent malice". Of course, this time, I think that malice would be pretty easy to demonstrate.

So, do we petition a prosecutor to file or what?
