Rejected petition Unrestricted, accurate, unbiased news reporting on all platforms.
Legislation to crackdown on the amount of bias in news reporting in all media, including all online social networks. News weaponised for political and personal gain should be irradicated by stringent laws. Reports should show all sides of an argument and there needs to be no suppression of stories.
More details
People access news in multiple formats including online and from social media platforms. If news is weaponised to push the ideas of individuals or organisations this has a detrimental effect on the population leading to extreme outcomes. Factual information needs to be first and foremost and not supressed. Lies and fearmongering should not take centre stage. We have a right to see unsuppressed factual news based on evidence and not fiction peddled by the wealthy few.
