That would require politicians to move against journalists... who would retaliate. So, no political party will back it as it's indirectly political suicide.

Media being more powerful than politicians? Now that is scary, as only media beats politicians in the amount of crap they turn out.

You have a very good point though. With that said, don't you think a political party who dared to say this, would gain a huge amount of goodwill from the populace? Enough to counter the media backlash?
