That is true, but that is an editorial judgement on the part of the
media house/radio station/newspaper.

If they violate the law, then there MUST be consequences.


If there's

if it is a single radio station for example, then yes, a court could
find them in violation of the law and order them to cease.

That doesn't mean ALL radio stations should be shutdown.

that's is my 2 bob anyway.
