Petition Action

Hold the Media accountable for inciting hatred.

Petition Details

The media influences public opinion, and has a duty to produce factual non biased views, and be accountable for outright lies.

The recent headlines and front pages have incited hatred, and helped to create fear.

The media could use their influence for positive means, and yet choose not to.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Incitement to racial hatred is a crime in the UK. If you think you have evidence that the law has been broken, that would be a matter for the police.

Alternatively, you may wish to make a complaint to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which regulates the UK newspaper industry. You can find out more here:
