I would say only the print regulators are really ineffective , Ofcom do a decent job as does the BBC ' s independent regulator . But you ' re right and that ' s why we need the Leveson regulators . The mechanism already exists in law , it was brought in with bipartisan agreement , it ' s backed by the NUJ and we now have a regulator ready to fill the role . My point is that if we recognise that there needs to be press regulation for the mainstream media , surely we must also recognise the need for regulation for new media ? Maybe neither are where the need to be , but that doesn ' t make it wrong to come up with a solution for the rise in fake news because we already have a solution for the regular news . <| sep |> I ' ll have you know I ' ve been known to have some fantastic tasting shits in my day .
