25. But when legitimate news organizations do stings
They typically involve law enforcement in them, or at the very least they alert the police to what they are doing. A regular person can't just set up a Brian Williams "Catch a Predator" sting and not get in serious trouble.

And yes, I'm engaging in a bit of hyperbole and wishful thinking in my OP. I realize there's no basis to charge them with child sex trafficking but as you well know cops and prosecutors can dream up all kinds of reasons to investigate people. I just wish someone would throw a little scare in them to convey the message that child rape is not a joking matter. I'm serious about that.
