Petition Action

UK Media/ News should be fined for coronavirus misinformation.

Petition Details

The UK Media/ News have misinformed the public many times throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

The UK Media/ News should incur a penalty fine for each item of news that is deemed as misinformation that is produced.

Additional Information

On the week leading up to Boris Johnson’s speech 10-MAY-2020 many the UK Media/ News were printing that lockdown would be completely lifted on 11-MAY-2020.

This in turn prompted people to meet in masses in public places (parks etc.) and families to meet thus increasing the spread of the coronavirus.

I believe this is a necessity step to protect the NHS stop the spread of the coronavirus.
