Accurate Facts Prohibited by Tone

This provision prohibits media houses from publishing "otherwise accurate information" when "substantial embellishments" cause it to "become inaccurate" through emotional impact alone—even though the underlying facts remain true. The test relies on subjective judgments about whether information is "overly exaggerated" and evokes emotions that the facts do not "reasonably evoke." This creates a fundamental conceptual problem: factually accurate information cannot become factually inaccurate through presentation style. The vague standards—combined with potential license suspension after warnings (71)—threaten core journalistic practices of using emphasis, dramatic headlines, and narrative framing to highlight newsworthy aspects of factual stories, creating a chilling effect on legitimate journalism based on subjective government judgments about appropriate emotional tone.
