Wow, The Public Outcry Worked!

I am so happy that the CRTC is withdrawing it's proposal to allow lies in the news in Canada. People responded to this proposal with a huge public outcry and it worked. Almost 100,000 people signed a petition to stop this, and the CRTC listened. What a relief! It makes me feel like the people can make a difference! Check out the article:

The CRTC withdraws a controversial proposal that would have given TV and radio stations more leeway to broadcast false or misleading news.

Thank goodness! Aren't we born with an inherent love of the truth? Sometimes I wonder. This is good news indeed.
