Something Ofcom doesn't always fulfill to a satisfactory standard.\r\n\r\n\r\nSurely the government should take more responsibility, by making sure TV doesn't head towards a totally free market saturated landscape?","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-02-20T23:56:05.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:53.808Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:40:45.887Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-02-20T23:56:05.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"Please re-submit!"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
