I wonder...
Can the media - as corps or indivs- be sued for refusing to report on a matter of extreme significance national security and feigning ignorance- regardless of their actual intent - that facilitates a racketeering operation to conceal said national security threats?

Does refusing to report on a story that's, say, uncomfortable & likely to result in decreased ratings because some people will find the story morally intolerable make them, in effect, part of a protection racket by suppressing the story to ensure continued profits?
And, if the media's refusal to cover said story, yet willingness to address a fabricated, projected version that spins up a conspiracy movement, placing the blame for extremely similar acts on someone else ....
Would that ensure the media legally responsible for their choices?

And if, in fact, some of those media members funded operations that were aimed at slandering those private individuals who were attempting to ensure as many fellow citizens knew about the issues as possible, would that be grounds for a civil suit?
