Equal Time For Who?

Kevin Murphy, both in the comments section to this post, and at his blog, makes an interesting point about the potential "equal time on the web" provision being considered in the EU.

Who gets equal time after satire? Here, the form would say first amendment supporters, yet the meaning would say Bill O'Reilly and second amendment suppressors. Only the lawyers will profit from such a requirement.

Yup, which is just one more absurdity of the notion. Like Kevin, I suspect that they haven't even thought about that problem.

Oh, I'm positive the lawyers have thought about it. A lot.
