If FOX is successfully sued for being wrong, the rest of the MSM will be bankrupt within a year.

If they were merely wrong, they will not lose in court. There has been extensive discovery and depositions from the bottom up to see if they were just wrong. It is very likely that such utter nonsense that they pushed about Dominion was known to them to be false.
Funny how you people want everyone to be held to account except for the ones who carry water for Dear Leader.

What I want is all news sources to be held to the same standard.

And that standard is…? And who will be the judge?
The answer, I believe, is the marketplace. There is your standard. You can be the National Enquirer and buy rights to a scandal, then sit on it if it affects your political pals. You can be NewsCorp and blatantly lie to support your candidates. You can be NYT and get most things right most of the time.
(Oops, do you see a bias in my post? Gosh, how did that happen?)
The marketplace will sort out the media among those who are looking for accuracy, confirmation bias, or just the fishing reports.
Now if you are wondering about liabilities, then we have laws with a very high bar.

What are you talking about? Any news source that egregiously defames someone or some company can be taken to court.
