The thing about X is that if someone says something wrong it will get called out within an hour and people will know quickly. I've posted a few tweets on here that were fact checked as a wrong within that page. NY times gets something wrong and it takes a week to get corrected but by that point the lie is embedded in the public consciousness.
Because if the NYT publishes it, EVERY other outlet will parrot it for a week or more, even if they know up front it's a lie. In fact, the media is still parroting stuff from 2019 and 2017 that most outlets, including some whose personalities are still parroting it, have admitted are false.
Calling someone Hitler is defamation.
Calling someone a rapist is defamation.
Suits need to be filed to discourage such defamation going forward.
