Petition Action

Hold the media and press responsible for their actions.

Petition Details

Make the press responsible for their constant negativity regarding Covid-19. The country, the world is suffering as a result of Covid-19, the press and media are not helping with the constant scare mongering.

Additional Information

I believe that this approach by the media and the press is a major contribution to the mental health problems that our country is facing at present. They should be held responsible. Freedom of speech is one thing but, the constant negativity of the press and media has to be looked at. If they are made to pay for the problems they cause, and I believe that they are the main cause of the mental health issues we have in the UK, they may think twice about the way they report.
