Fine. Prefering cruel and primitive tyranny to free and open democracy is only a matter of personal choice after all.
If media deliberately lie they should be shown up and, one hopes, people will cease to buy their products.
But prosecuted? No definitely not. One man's lie is another's exageration - or distortion or half-truth, or, even deeper truth.
Isn't there a magazine in the US which specialises in outrageous false stories of the !Elvis seen on the moon" variety?
Freedom of speach should never be put at risk.
I already know that it is costly, unreliable and that it is only produced where it is heavilly subsidised.
