What if it’s more like big tobacco where the industry obscured the fact that their product was dangerous for decades and now can be held responsible for the effects of continuing to market something dangerous to the public under false pretenses.

Hell, even alcohol has warning labels about health risks. And strict rules about who, where, and how they can market their product to the public.

I don’t know ANY industry where you can market something with demonstrably false claims. In other industries you’d face fines from the federal government for misleading the public about your product. (Think FDA, EPA enforcement, etc). It should be the same for media.
I do agree there is a certain level of personal accountability but it doesn’t cancel out when outlets are purposefully misrepresenting facts for profit.
Some mixture of individual, professional, and industry accountability is needed here.
