I was just wondering if the surviving victims and the families of those who died can sue the mainstream media for the handling of the case.
I think people like Joy Reid, LeBron James, and Mark Ruffalo should be sued for inspiring this violence AND criminally charged for it as well.
Taking the media's money does not punish the media. The only deterrent is to actually cause them some form of lasting consequence.
Fair enough, what are you proposing that is realistically possible?
I am not clever enough to figure out what works, just what doesn't.
Trying to financially penalize those who are backed by functionally infinite money is futile if the intent is to punish or disincentivise abhorrent behavior.
Fair enough, but until a better solution exists, lawsuits will have to do.
