Apparently, the German Government.

A much smarter move would be to create a public/private accreditation body that simply rated articles on their truthfulness. In turn, media sources would have overall ratings based on the average. It's not perfect, but it's far better than trying to enforce journalistic integrity though the legal system. That's obviously a recipe for disaster.
