1329092	2013-03-19 06:30:00	You’re absolutely right old chap but all that has happened is our new Editor has taken it upon herself to bring us into the “Politically Correct” era. I do note however that there seems to be some “Selective Morality” operating. Indeed, it hasn’t gone unnoticed. ;) :thumbs:	goodiesguy (15316)

Any outsider should think its open season on National FTFY And quite right they should so the general populace doesn't forget how useless the current government is :lol:	gary67 (56)

However PressF1 remains property of (fairfax?) who grace us with the server space and funding and is governed by the elected powers that be. My view anyway, t he web itself is a place of free speech but the site you use is the private property of the owner who may do what they please with your content or place restrictions on what you can do.

OMSA - online media standards authority - has been formed by Radio New Zealand, Maori Television, TVNZ, Sky, Mediaworks and Radionetwork and will oversee online news and current affairs content standards. Interviewed on Radio New Zealand's Feb 17 Mediawatch, OMSA chair Claire Bradley, pressed by producer Colin Peacock, admitted that it could well be a step to a self-regulatory body for all broadcast and online media. But why could not the Broadcast Standards Authority expand to take in the online media? - he asked. 'We are opposed to a single regulatory body' she told him, adding that both the Press Council and the Advertising Standards Authority were self-regulating bodies but that the Broadcasting Standards Authority was formed by Government and therefore not self-regulated. 'We've been spurred into action by the Law Commission's paper "News media meets the new media" ' she said. 'We are opposed to a single regulatory body - they (the BSA) don't want to be joined at the hip with us.' OMSA's complaints committee consists of three industry representatives and three from the public, which also supplies its chairman, Sir Bruce Robertson. Broadcasting Standards Authority, Advertising Standards Authority, NZ Press Council, and now OMSA - that's four bodies covering complaints from one body of media, in a mix of self-regulation and government control. That's surely a work-in-progress." Taking the 2nd to last sentence, history indicates that "work" and "progress" are impossible to apply in the last sentence? Calling it a Bill is entirely proper though. ;)	R2x1 (4628)
