BSA releases latest decisions
Today the BSA released decisions on five complaints, none of which were upheld.
One complaint related to a 'Vote Smart' segment on The Project, in which the host highlighted a particular issue that he wanted voters to be aware of. The Authority did not uphold a complaint that the item was inaccurate, finding that the host did not make a statement of fact which triggered the requirements of the accuracy standard, but rather was providing his opinion and analysis. The Authority emphasised that in the context of an upcoming general election, the item carried high public interest and value in terms of the right to freedom of expression.
