"Trump is a Racist"

Article

A guy named Bob called Trump a racist.

This way they got to push the propaganda but it was perfectly  legit cause they were just reporting what Bob said
It's not actually the First Amendment that protects them, it's their wording.
Just look at Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, for example. Jones got himself in huge legal trouble because he was direct and consistent in sharing his beliefs about the Sandy Hook Massacre. The important thing is that he was direct. He took ownership of his opinions, and doing so is why he got burned.
Carlson, on the other hand, bends over backwards to avoid saying anything directly. His preferred tactic is to use rhetorical questions. It's not a style choice, it's a pre-emptive legal defense. He can just go into court and say, "I never said that I believed the election was rigged." And that's true. 
So what we need to do is educate people on how to spot these misinformation tactics. How to notice when someone is avoiding taking ownership of their words, in particular. Trump loves to say, "A lot of people are saying..."which any reasonable person should have learned is how he disguises his own opinion as that of others, thereby shielding himself from legal trouble.
And maybe the best way we can help is to put this information out there. Once you get someone to question the voice they're hearing, they can start to think more critically about what is being said. In other words, find that person who's down the rabbit hole and say something like, "Have you ever noticed that Tucker Carlson refuses to say what he thinks? Every time he wants to make an opinion, he uses a question instead. That's how you know he's lying."
You might never see the results of that information, but the next time that person hears Carlson ask a rhetorical question, they'll say, "Wow, he really does do that." and the seed of doubt begins to grow.
