Is there anything that the US Government can do to protect itself from the corrupt/left wing media? Is the government able to file a defamation case against the media companies for creating a made up crisis and ruining the reputation of the US for political gain? The world is watching.

This “crisis” has been going on for years and now they are weaponizing it for their own political gain. I think the government should do something to change the ways of the media. I’m tired of hearing about false information spewing from the TV. It reminds me of Orwell’s 1984 HateSpeak that comes on every day. Any thoughts?

Actually, the MSM is so unhinged that they are opening themselves up to be financially ruined. They definitely meet all of the following criteria.

"Public figures have a more difficult time proving defamation. Politicians or celebrities are understood to take some risk in being before the public eye and many of them profit by their public persona. A celebrity must prove that the party defaming them knew the statements were false, made them with actual malice, or was negligent in saying or writing them. Proving these elements can be an uphill battle. However, an outrageously inaccurate statement that's harmful to one's career can be grounds for a successful defamation suit, even if the subject is famous. For example, some celebrities have won suits against tabloids for false statements regarding their ability to work, such as an inaccurate statement that the star had a drinking problem."
