Too bad you can't shut them down one by one for reporting misleading stories.
I wouldn't go that far. But, fining them $$$ (hefty sums when dead lives are a part of the story) would be a great start.

It's a societal problem. Society is infatuated with violence.
Music, especially genres such as hip-hop, and certain Metal, such as death metal use disgusting, filthy language, glorify murder and rape, even of wives and mothers.
Video Games in general have a close relationship with violence, but there are some that are extremely more graphic in violence than others. Some of the most popular games in the world depict the most brutal violence imaginable. In some simulators, people can use baseball bats and beat innocent women to death. Children, I have seen children myself play such video game simulators simulating graphic murder on innocent people, while they laughed and relished in the graphic depictions of sadistic violence they were playing out.
News "If it bleeds it leads." The news is big business, and violence attracts attention. The more violent and graphic the headlines and content, the better the ratings.
Websites The must disgusting graphic images of mutilation, torture, dismemberment, murder, are available online. In some cultures children are bombarded on a daily basis in their social media to the most brutal and savage violence imaginable.
We could go on. Stress, bullying, lack of parental guidance, lawlessness, hatred, lack of self-control. And many of the "stars" of this world, especially in its entertainment and sports industry all lead with such characteristics, people people look up to and adore and hold in high esteem.
What is wrong with people?
That is what is wrong with society!
But..but...but...what a person watches, or plays, or listens to has no affect on them.
Yeah, tell that to everyone that buy 30 second spots on TV, or advertise on the internet, that even watching a little bit of advertisement or propaganda has no affect on the person viewing it.
