322: Pastafarians Unite!

UK Media Regulation Proposals, Jack Straw and Statutory Oversight

British politicians, including Jack Straw, are advocating for independent or statutory regulation of the press following the News Corp scandal. The hosts review clips from Parliament where members argue that self-regulation has failed and that the government must impose stronger systems of oversight. An anecdote is shared regarding Jack Straw's personal history of detaining photographers in his township, framing his current push for media control as a move toward government-managed information flow.
