Just like there is a "Truth in Advertising" law there needs to be a "Truth in News" law. If anyone reports something that can not be confirmed or is found to be false there should be stiff penalties. $200,000 fine and 5 years prison minimum for the reporter, the editor and the news organization that created, reviewed and published the story. Get 2 or 3 reporters/editors/orgs and that crap will stop.
