They're saner by the fact that their media speech laws only extend so far. The US, you can call yourself unbiased news, lie on-air, and then if confronted on it

They're saner by the fact that their media speech laws only extend so far. The US, you can call yourself unbiased news, lie on-air, and then if confronted on it just declare it free speech. There, inventing or grossly embellishing stories will get you sued and fined.
- chii 8y agoFree speech only pertains to citizens when the govt is trying to shut it down. News outlets calling themselves unbiased is not invoking free speech at all. Anyone can declare themselves anything - it's called lying.
