Probably dozens of letters each week. Why do those letters never result in lawsuits with real results? Because the papers keep their records tight.

Oh? Would you mind citing some of those laws as examples (presumably you’re not referring to defamation, but something else entirely)? I wasn’t aware of any laws, in, for example, the USA that enforce legal action if a news outlet puts out false information.
Are you saying that any claims made by “legitimate news outlets” can be trusted without cited sources simply because they are deemed “legitimate”?
