I simply that abusers like CNN and MSNBC and the two big papers (particularly, NYT) should be put on a kind of probation during which they cannot so easily hide from charges claiming someone is a public figure. There exists a remedy. It's called a retraction. Seems to me that the way to deal with it is to insist on a prominent retraction. If they don't retract, you make a big stink. They will respond to a big stink about their failure to retract. They take pride in adhering to standards. The response might not be what you would like. Instead of retracting they might write a story on how they were asked to retract but didn't because what they wrote was valid and here's why.
