Oh please. The media can say whatever the fuck they want. They hide behind the “we aren’t actually news, but entertainment!”.

The media already spreads a ton of false shit without any repercussions.

True, but much of the shit they spread isn't about famously litigious people like Donald Trump.

Also, I can't speak to the US media, but here in the UK there are strict rules on things like this, particularly around an election.
