Answer:

The government does not allow the media to publish false claims about public officials.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a serious business, journalism. A journalist is required to report the news impartially and objectively. Since people will believe what they read in the news, the reporter has a moral duty to convey the news objectively and without any coercion. He or she is unable to undermine their credibility. He must take care when determining if information concerning a public official is incorrect because of this. The fact that the government forbids the media from publishing false information on public officials is one instance of how the government restricts individual rights in order to preserve the rights of others. The reporter will get into problems if he makes assertions that he hasn't verified or doesn't have the evidence to back them up.
