Given that in Canada there was just a stink about the proposed removal of the regulatory prohibition on the broadcasting of "any false or misleading news" I wonder if this now well-known clause couldn't be used to some effect.
Wouldn't it be great if sections of Harper's speeches had to be bleeped or cut because of this prohibition? And wouldn't it be even better if it was explained that the reason for their absence was because they were false or misleading?
If we are going to have this incredibly restrictive regulation ('misleading' is a pretty vague word) why don't we at least use it to staunch the flow of actively disseminated misinformation that is coming from so many of Canada's politicians?
