Mr.Canada Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) There are multiple avenues on television for people to watch the news they want. There isn't only one channel, this isn't the Soviet Union....yet. So if one news channel isn't your cup of tea change the channel. No ones forcing you to watch one news program or another, unless that's what you're advocating here. I like the fact that I have choice. Put up or shut up Saipan... please cite one example. Thanks. That panel show called The Issue or something like that. 2 Liberals(Andrew Coyne and the other guy) and a socialist(Chantel whats her name). Yeah that's a balanced perspective....give me a break. No, no bias what so ever. Edited February 11, 2011 by Mr.Canada Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog

No ones forcing you to watch one news program or another, unless that's what you're advocating here. I like the fact that I have choice. But then what you want is for people to have choice! How unCanadian of you! Imagine the freedom to listen or read opposing views! Where could this lead? Original thought? More ideas to ponder? The left will just have to not watch Sun News.This could be dangerous. Quote
GWiz Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 False and Misleading News is not Free Speech. Its False and Misleading News. Free Speech is for shows that are "Not News" Maybe a Comedy Channel, Fiction, Documentary. News reports are to be Factual, Not False. Broadcast news in the US is an Embarrassment. Its entertaining but the "News" is pretty lame. Regardless, of the comments with regards to the US quality of product, its their country its their mess, Our Broadcast standard have it that the News should NOT contain False and Misleading News. Why anyone should defend False and Misleading news is bizzare. If I want False and Misleading news I will turn to 1) Saturday Night Live 2) Dailey Show 3) Fox News DOH! But this isn't about them. Its about Canadian Broadcast Quality Journalism. Even if there is a RightWing Slant in our news and with another one on the horizon, I would not want these Right Wing News Organizations to be providing False and Misleading News. Point of order... If I want real news that isn't "misleading and/or false" I turn to the "most trusted" source for NEWS in the U.S., The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.. And in fact, IT IS, although presented in the most entertaining manner of all, comedy...

The poster was asking you to come up with an example of "False and Misleading news" coming from the "liberal CBC."

Do you have an example of something that was reported, but not retracted or corrected? Many. Take the constant "predictions" about Reform. "They never make a party status"...... later..."They never make it out of Alberta".... later.... "they never form the Official Opposition...... later "they never form a federal government".... now it's "they never gain a majority"..... "Gun control".... not even one information from CBC correct. Hundreds of lies. And we pay for it. Quote

Now, can you please cite an example where the CBC OR The Star have broadcast false or misleading news? Didn't think so. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche

It took me about 30 seconds to dig up an example of how factually bankrupt the Star is an how hard it is on the Liberal bandwagon. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/935217--liberals-give-sneak-peek-at-tories-platform Just hilarious.

What part is false or misleading? Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak may be keeping his election platform secret until April, but the governing Liberals believe they have uncovered it.In a closed-door presentation to the party faithful at last weekend’s Liberal policy convention in Ottawa, campaign director Don Guy divulged a detailed look at what they expect from the Conservatives.

Moonbox Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) What part of that is factually bankrupt? The headline for one. The entire article is tripe. Everything the Ontario Liberals are saying in the article is AT BEST pure speculation and at worst outright lies. The fact that the Toronto Star published this is unsurprising considering how hard and how loyally they've been parotting the Party line for the last decade. It's interesting to note that I couldn't find any other newspapers publishing this garabge. Faithful Faithful Toronto Star....

Pliny Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 If it meant blocking Al-Jezeera from coming to Canada, I suppose I could live with that. If it meant we could do without the National enquirer, I suppose, I could live with that. If it meant we would never have seen "An Inconvenient Truth" from Al Gore, I suppose I could live with that. If it meant that "chemical imbalance" can never be used to write a prescription for paxil, I could live with that? If it meant having to listen to only part of the story I suppose I could live with that. If it meant that you couldn't let anyone say that Obama was a Muslim, I could live with that. If it meant that someone couldn't say that Allah exists, I could live with that. If it meant that someone could say that God existed, I could live with that. If I couldn't disagree or agree with the "truth" I might be upset. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.
Jack Weber Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 au contraire... in Harper Conservative bizzaro world, this is a fundamental and required assault by free-speech warriors! Who can say it any better than chief BloggingTory, Stephen Taylor: makes perfect sense in Harper Conservative bizzaro world... where regulatory wording would go => from: "a licensee shall not broadcast ...any false or misleading news." => to: "...any news that the licensee knows is false or misleading and that endangers or is likely to endanger the lives, health or safety of the public." I take anything said by the NCC as the ramblings of deranged citizens of Right Wing Kookville.... Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
