Resolved Mis- or disinformation

Outcome

Not upheld

Overview

Complainant contends the post is an attack on the DA and therefore misinformation.

Background & Outcome

This is democracy in action. Noisy, offensive and annoying views expressed in the context of electioneering rhetoric ought to be tolerated. The content can reasonably be construed as satire aimed at a public figure and a political party on the basis of their public activities.
