Rejected petition Shut Down the Daily Mail

More details

I request that the Daily Mail be shut down. They are allowing racially abusive content and death threats against Nelson Mandela on their blogging website. As the Daily Mail is unable to be a balanced and a fair newspaper, then it should be rendered unfit to broadcast news as we the public are sick and tired of their bigotry and poor reporting skills and sloppy journalism. I request that British Newspapers be controlled by the British people and not a religious group as this leads to unfair and biased reporting that protects the minority who are controlling what we read. The minority that control the press cannot be trusted or relied upon by the British public. The minority that run the press are not representative of Great Britain.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

There are laws already in place controlling press content.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
