In Australia it's apparently legally fine for these magazines to publish false stories as they are entertainment and not news!


In the USA, MSDNC's Russia Maddow has a show that makes claims such as what if Russia attacks our power grid when it's cold and other completely stupid stories. On the other side of the aisle is [name anyone on Fox News]. In court, their defense is that no one takes their claims as truth and that it is a source of entertainment so they're not held to any standard basically whatsoever. It's so sad.
