So you now want the government holding media accountable? You can't simultaneously say government should get out of our lives and be tiny, and then demand they do everything.

While they could fine the station, real accountability for the media is from the consumers of it, if everyone stopped watching that station over this, then changes would occur.

The reality is one poor guy made a mistake, and I cannot imagine he was getting high fives from management about it. He'll be lucky to keep his job so to him at least, the repercussions will be pretty serious.
