One could argue that the lies aren't as egregious, since CNN, MSNBC etc etc aren't getting sued over it?


One could also argue that the courts and/or government are tilted in favor of one false narrative over the other, and thus refuse to investigate or hear arguments against their chosen channels.

I'm not arguing that this is or is not true, but the argument you're making here is not philosophically different from "if they were bad people then bad things would happen to them; since bad things aren't happening to them they must not be bad people". The reality is that bad people escape punishment all the time, especially when their bad actions benefit the people who should be responsible for punishing them.
