    It would simply be undoable without huge public pressure and alot of political will, don't get me wrong I think its the best way to make papers more responsible the chances of it actually getting done are miniscule...

    It would have to require a few papers printing some complete rubbish which causes a national uproar combined with some powerful politicians who are fully confident of thier re election. To do it without any kind of driving force (or some kind of unheard level of cooperaion between politicians) would just be political suicide

    Edit: Its another one of those sensible policys that don't stand a chance of getting through because of the way our politics is....

    I have no problems with papers printing truth and fair-use. But sometimes the media just prints rear-end, because it basically wants to.

    Trial be media fills an important niche in the public forum....the same one Rome built the colleseum to house.
