The UK really needs to backport the Zenger Trial.
- fanf2 16y agoWe already did. The problems are with the cost of defending and the lack of a public interest or legitimate argument defence.
- srean 16y agoThis http://www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_lie.html http://www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_lie.html I think turns it on its head. Its trajectory was quite the opposite of Singh's libel lawsuit. Zenger side of Atlantic isn't any rosier. It was established that, deliberate falsification of the news (by Fox) is the agency's legal right, and so is firing reporters not willing to lie on purpose (about health effects). Law totally beats me. Thankfully I am not a lawyer.
