No’s “legal arguments” are designed to stoke confusion and misunderstanding, they aren’t based on solid legal analysis. It’s a deliberate and disingenuous tactic. And it should be reported as such.

@thomasmayo23 @pjlogue Now that the Law Council of Australia and the Solicitor-General have strongly supported the referendum's wording and proposal, media must portray the No campaign's legal arguments as baseless and not supported by the national experts.

By all means, it can be the job of journalists to “ventilate” a controversial issue or person, by challenging their views with facts in the public domain so people can consider their argument. But uncritically repeating incorrect, inflammatory views isn’t journalism. It’s PR.
