Self-regulation of the news media has failed
We all know how dishonest and biased some parts of the news media can be – and that often comes to the fore when reporting on issues relating to the EU which culminated in the media frenzy over Article 16 and vaccines a few weeks ago when the British news media wrongly reported that the EU had triggered article 16.
Part of the problem is the current regulatory system for the news media is virtually useless as it is a self-regulatory system that has little real means of enforcing decisions and the press are not under any obligation to report in fair, objective and unbiased manner.
Let’s send a very clear message to the news media and parliament that this is not an acceptable situation by signing and sharing this petition.
