Accusations of Propaganda Should Warrant an Indictment and a Trial

In a recent political debate on reddit, many people express doubts about whether or not Congress can be trusted to even want to end dissension in this country, let alone actually pass a fair bill into law that gives news organizations the right to resolve their grievances with other media/propaganda outlets in court.

I can't say I really blame them. Such a law would have to be very well worded. Here are some major issues that would have to be outlined:

1. fair, open, and sincere trial (no illogical 'debating', no hiding 'evidence' from the public, no shady shills gaining complete control over the investigation and prosecution)

2. to file an indictment on this type of felony (or misdemeanor), the crime has to be committed by what is technically an economic special interest (some type of company, preferably a wealthy one that is well connected to the economy in many controversial and powerful aspects)

3. the obvious lawsuits that come to mind would be something like "Fox News vs MSNBC". actually, i think it'd be impossible for Fox News to not receive the brunt of these types of charges being filed (i'm guessing). frivolous lawsuits can't be the emphasis, while major sources of propaganda and dissension get a free pass.

4. if a news organization wants to tell its audience that the trial banning it from saying something was done improperly, then they will be allowed to say this (because this type of argument cannot be considered propaganda until it gets a separate trial).

5. if a previous trial's legitimacy is reviewed in its own separate trial, efforts will be made to improve the education, replication, and broadening of that trial's appeal toward the masses. (this includes making the trial more believable to people who could have any kind of sensible grievance with the original trial)
