Clarification on my Right to Reply comments
There have been many good posts on Europe's Right of Reply policy, such as Declan McCullagh's column, this from Jeff Jarvis, and a whole Slashdot discussion.
I wanted to clarify my own opinion: I'm willing to call the right of reply a cultural difference to the extent that the right of reply consists solely of adding a link to the reply. This should go for everybody nowadays, including even established media; it should be sufficient for a television program to say "Go to our website for a link to blah's reply." with a link in a suitably prominent location.
