Of course the liar-lawyers were nowhere near the most irresponsible, reckless, carriers of Trump's Big Lie, they weren't the major force in trying to destroy democracy even by inciting violent insurrection, that would be the media's role in this.
Don't expect any journalist to try to rescue their profession in this way, they wouldn't even make the attempt to get to this level. Those who might want to would be inhibited into enabling by "The First Amendment," in the age when lies can be told with impunity from even civil court consequences. Thanks to the First Congress as amended by the Warren and subsequent courts, that danger to democracy won't be removed but enabled to be even more dangerous in the future.
