I mean I talk about it every now and then, my kid was being shown those videos when they were young. I keep YouTube off any TV's or the kids tablets because YouTube was so irresponsible. For all Disney's and Netflix's faults I'd much rather the kids watch something that's been at least better curated than whatever the hell YouTube kids is.

Unfortunately the law would've never applied to fox news, as it was broadcast only and cable was exempt. But even so nowadays so much of the information sphere is online, through Facebook, Twitter and the thousand different right wing blog news sites that you aren't really going to be able to stop anything. The American system very dependent on the two parties having a bipartisan consensus. But after a few decades of the right wing media sphere whipping the base into frenzy after frenzy the 'true believers' are the ones in government now and the idea of compromise is done for.

Notably the constitution doesn't actually require a trial of any sort. The amendment was put in after the civil war, it would have been impossible to have a trial for everyone that participated in the Confederacy. Bit of an open question how that gets determined nowadays though.

Do you have any links for this? That sounds fascinating but my Google fu is failing me right now.

Self preservation is a good motivator, self sacrifice on the behalf of others isn't unfortunately.
