If the current judicially imposed arrangement on
privacy were enacted into the statute law, but with the burden of proof in
libel actions placed on the plaintiff, then who could object to that? And why?
Making the privacy law statutory as the price of
reversing the burden of proof in libel actions. That would be the deal. The
corporate media cannot expect their own way all the time. Least of all these
days.
As for freedom of information, repeal the Official
Secrets Acts. Just do it.
