There was a time, during my lifetime, that the evidence of conspiratorial lying by a media outlet would destroy that outlet. Once the media outlet no longer possesses the trust of the public, there would no longer be any value in it. The question of “value” is the primary one in the lawsuit of Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News. Many Americans quit thinking of Fox News as “the press” a long time ago. Whenever that role in a media outlet effectively disappears, as in the Fox News example, those protections should disappear with it.
