Can’t do that. It’s not a regulated field.

Media regulation would be a dangerous argument to make and even as strongly as I feel about the MFM, I would be hesitant.
However, it needs to be said that their blatant partisanship and manipulation begs for something to be done. The media has a tremendous responsibility, especially in our type of government, which is based on an electorate making decisions on the facts presented to them by the media. Any distortion, skewing or outright manipulation of those facts is an assault on the very foundation of our system of government.
An ethical media would understand this and act responsibly. Ours doesn’t.
