This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Censor the tabloid media for hateful and abusive journalism.
The tabloid media perpetuate their own political agenda, rather than cover stories in an unbiased and fair and impartial manner. They use shock-headlines as propoganda and this has a detrimental effect on our society.
More details
The recent Tabloid headlines denigrating the Supreme Court Judges, the phone-hacking scandal of the Sun and just about every other daily headline and article that comments on women's appearances, their age, size or otherwise. Tabloids have become propaganda in the guise of real journalism.
