Read your first sentence. It makes my point.

You can formulate your own point rather than just refuting mine. Can you elaborate?

Government regulation of speech, such as a media watchdog, is not free speech.

I disagree. Free speech can be protected and media fairness and transparency maintained. There is a different practice in many countries including mine. https://www.mediacouncil.org.nz/principles/

Your country does not have the First Amendment that the U.S. has. What you suggest would violate the U.S. Constitution.

I may seem pedantic but the amendments are being twisted right now so should stand up to scrutiny. That's what they exist for.

Yes - with a government that is willing to ignore the Constitution we should definitely make it easier for them to silence dissenting speech.

I checked the First amendment and it doesn't allow govt interference with media. The link I sent was my country's independent media council. Not govt related. Not a watchdog with teeth but one with an ethical standard and influence. It's not a censorship tool. Much like the FD.

So your independent media council is not part of the government and has no government authority so if someone does something they don’t like they just say “pretty please” and hope it gets fixed?
