The problem with this, though, is there are still too many safeguards. So long as media frames a story as anything but true (e.g. calling someone a murderer vs. accused of murder) and they can't be forced to reveal sources, they'll still be able to condition large swaths of people.

How many "anonymous" sources has media pulled out of their ass these four years? How many "sources familiar with the president's thinking" were the foundation of an article? Almost all of them were bullshit that never came true or were impossible to disprove. Also, 'member when Maddow was being sued by OANN? She said something on-air like OANN being literally Russian propaganda. Goes to court and pulls that "I'm an entertainer" or "it's an opinion show" bullshit and - surprise, surprise - case dismissed.
