We have news channels in the US which twist facts and make their own party a hero as well. One thing you won't find us calling for is censorship. Censorship for "someone's own good" doesn't work in practice. Work on education instead.
- tehwalrus 14y agoWe don't in the UK, because we have complicated impatiality laws (if you mention a candidate in an election, you have to mention all the others, and you can have broadcast licenses revoked for being biased - I'm simplifying, but it's a real law. Some students at my old university radio station nearly got the MW license revoked for being dismissive/rude about candidates that they didn't like, and not mentioning everyone.) On the other hand, we have a rabidly partisan print media instead, which is now moving onto the internet (daily mail, guardian, etc).
