Controversial
legislation
I believe that there's an
imbalance between the
damage that can be done by
the pen and one's remedies.
I believe that the majority of
journalists are responsible.
The problem is that some
people aren't even journalists
and they shoot from the hip.
The government is trying to
paint this reform as some sort of
exercise to safeguard ordinary
citizens from persecution by
those who want to abuse the
judicial system. What the reform
does, however, is to shield
ministers, politicians and top
public officials from scrutiny.
