I think you'll find that both print media and online media have substantially similar protections for third-party content.

I think you'll find that online media is explicitly protected from being sued for defamatory or infringing content under the DMCA, as long as they take the material down.

No such protection exists for print media.

Print media cannot "take down" content, but does enjoy a similar immunity as regards third party content. You should probably educate yourself on the subject, it would save you from making silly arguments.
