It’s very simple. You can not call yourself “news” and not come under news regulations.
Def should be that simple.
Unfortunately, over the last 2 decades. We have seen a huge effort from the right wing. To remove that limitation. Mainly funded from the same billionaires that fund such crap in the US where such rules do not exist.
The left needs to work hard to ensure these challenges are both identified and publicised for what they are. An attempt to licence lieing to the public.
And the politically sane should be pushing back hard. If you can legally have misinformation labelled “news” we have a massive problem.
GB “news” is a fucking disgrace
And all because some prat from Mumford & Sons got laughed at for his stupid opinions.
Truly an awful timeline.
That might be the catalyst but it’s foreign adversaries that have been investing a lot of resources into polarising us that are the real cause of this.
