The right of rebuttal is a policy that allows individuals who have been personally attacked on a radio or TV broadcast to respond to that attack on the same station. This policy was introduced to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to defend themselves against false or defamatory statements made about them. Therefore, if a radio station refused to give an individual the opportunity to respond to a personal attack on their station, they would be violating the right of rebuttal policy.
