You are making nonsensical claims. News organizations should not be allowed to blatantly lie about other people, specially if those lies damage the person's reputation. If that were the case, nothing would prevent all newspapers from publishing stories accusing YOU of, say, child rape. You would be completely powerless to do anything about that, and would probably be lynched for it. There is a real issue of what constitutes slander, and it is often abused, no discussion there. But getting completely rid of it would be madness.
