If you make a bold claim like that I hope you have the sources to back it up. News outlets spreading misinformation is a criminal act; it was in the UK's 2003 Communications Act [0] and has been updated in the 2023 Online Safety Act [1], with some people already having been convicted [2] for spreading misinformation.
Exactly, there's a difference between spreading information that is factually incorrect and reporting (or not reporting) information in a way that is misleading.
