The Senate bill 2150 and housebill 3306 or simply Right of Reply has a great idea to form a total press freedom but it didn't consider some fatal ideas w/c I think very questionable.I know those ideas are obvious to all who is in much concerned to Personal Integrity. What encourage me to put in my belief is to Remind, not to Stand either on the negative or positive side of this law. "To our Law Makers decide broadmindedly because there's a posibility that this law can change a path of good destiny". Press is entitled as a “Watchdog of Society” and in that specified sense every Media Practitioner should perform their best not only by disseminating such vital informations but also in considering sensitive feelings of every subjet because he/she has a right of so-called “Right of Privacy.”

I found it as an excellent bill, since all of us either a criminal or not has the right to express our feelings, views and the right to defend our self from any accusation. This bill comes at the right time as media in this generation is much influential, persuading societies that once a person get accused he is a criminal already, forgetting this civil line "A person is innocent until he is proven guilty". The Bill did not violate neither presss freedom nor human rights indeed strengthen the rights of individual to preserve their dignity and autonomy. This bill would enhance our DEMOCRACY i.e. the law is equal for all people in this country, not only the high class family can air themselves in the telivision, internet, or in print media. The poor can now excercise their right of self preservation. My dear media practioner the penalty imposed in case you fail or refuse to air the accused person is reasonable, it is the responsibility of the media to bring back the dignity of the people. We are both fighting for freedom, in fact the media exclusively fight for the right of individual i.e. the freedom of speech which is also essential for every accused person to explain themselves, to express their freedom and to be heard. I think this law is not unconstitutional since it doesn't violate any one of our laws, to be specific I will quote this one "no law shall be passed abridging the freedom of the press, isn't it?" Why should we question the legality of this act if its definite purpose is to preserve the right of individual i.e. the right of expression and preservation of accused person's dignity.
