After making his statement in Parliament this morning, parking the controversial Media Council draft law, the PLP blog and Dr. Brown’s Facebook added some additional tweaks:

“The Media Council as proposed by this Government achieves that goal and as International Media Organizations have determined does not even come close to threatening the freedom of the press.”
