Perhaps, as a token of defiance, we should compile a list of the people at the top of these organisations, and forbid them from using our software.

There's a time and a place for spite, and this is it.

The BipCot NoGov license [0] might provide a template, replacing "government" with "[leaders of] media organizations" (or whatever), as applicable.

But if you're looking for something with teeth, this probably won't meet your needs -- as they say, "It is not copyright-based, it is entirely shame-based."
