Is it possible to hold SA responsible for the content of its writers who are posing as experts when they are more a kin to fire screamers in a theatre..

It'd be really hard to hold the authors to account; press law indicates they need to knowingly publish (talking about the writers here) false information. If it can be considered opinion, then it's protected. However, if "DR Rx" is truly an MD or pharmacist, there might be an expectation of a greater awareness of facts in a medical issue, but still, when there are folks like Dr. Nissen stating similar ideas, and those folks are 'experts', then it becomes really unlikely.

As far as SA goes, their authors are not their employees, so the first hurdle would be demonstrating that in effect SA acts as there employer. Others have tried this approach with companies like Uber, and in earlier days, with newspapers and newspaper delivery boys and girls (and adults), generally trying to enforce minimum wage and other aspects of employment law. Hard to do, but occasionally a court will rule that a contractor is de facto an employee, so not impossible. After passing that unlikely hurdle, there are the same free press issues you are likely to lose on with the author facing you, but now you have a better financed set of attorneys across from you in court.

******Edits based on others' posts: I agree, that if this goes anywhere, it's likely to be based on conspiracy. Hard to prove, but people do like to brag, so ya never know...
