Meseidy, great article. It’s so heartbreaking. I agree w/your description of it being mental abuse. I’ve been thinking: there is a law against crying “fire” in a crowded theater (when there ‘actually’ is NO fire) because individuals can be hurt in the panic to escape. How is MSM NEVER held accountable for using false information to cause hysteria & psychosis? What happened to ethics in that profession (if it can still be called that)???
Well it's free speech and the only thing a news organization can be liable for is defamation and knowingly false reporting. But many that are on these channels are commentators or opinion, which is protected by the first amendment. But even the "journalism" report favoring their bias. It's why we individually are responsible for being informed.
With regard to defamation & knowingly false reporting…I guess individuals whom are the ‘targets’ (recipient’s) could take legal action. Ex. A guest on the Pierce Morgan show made disparaging remarks about Beyoncé . Pierce Morgan received a legal cease & desist order. He had to publicly apologize on behalf of the guest & remove that segment of his interview. Why doesn’t this ever happen to MSM?
