Fox Entertainment Might Be Banned In Canada
Due to Tucker Carlson and his over the top rants that are considered homophobic, misogynistic and racist...the powers that be are considering banning Fox programs based on false information and spreading hate propaganda...Is freedom of speech being threatened or do you think that this is a necessary means of setting news standards for broadcasting companies?...

Lol
So they afraid of Fox still even after "cleaning" Tucker out?
This a reflection of what some people are thinking...nothing for sure so far but I think spreading hate and misinformation for ratings is unacceptable...Fox is no longer a News Corp...it is an entertainment company...so they skirted the issue of news standards...
Surely CRTC or NNC or some such body in Canada have powers to censure and govern the unruly for breaches of ethics? Of course they have no power over foreign broadcasts other than to have the government withdraw broadcast rights, since US seems reluctant to have a News Council with any teeth.

I think it is clear that the news program executives not just Tucker Carlson violated Canadian standards...some feel by sacking Carlson, it was enough to ensure the public that ethics do matter...I am also sure that this breach of ethics complaint is not taken lightly and a need for discourse with concerned citizens should be heard before following through with this censure or not...
My take is that once Fox decided to become an entertainment corp...their news programs should no longer be considered factual...and it is hard to expect/control anything online...
Thanks for your comment...
News should not have sides...reporting facts not folly...
It is in an interesting story.
I wonder how far we can go with all this discrimination stuff.
How about, is it discrimination to want to be around somebody in your life because they are more attractive than someone else...or more wealthier....or more intelligent.....or taller.
You know...they say actions speak louder than words....one's actions towards others can show discrimination.
The media is like a multiple point road junction without traffic lights. In other words chaotic and best avoided.
"News" is just a category within a broadcasting entity, it carries no status as regards actual fact. They are after all called news stories.
Regulation takes place after the event. As they say "you can't unsee" something. Meaning the damage is done and in a lot of cases it's not worthwhile pursuing it.
Best policy is never believe anything you see or hear. It used to be half.
Authoritarianism doesn't work when it exists to make the culture more of a wild social experiment where you don't know where you are today compared to yesterday. it's not here to make the world more strange and unnerving, it's not here to make the future happen more quickly. Authoritarianism must establish continuity, propaganda must be popular.. that's why people go for it. I don't see any future in the west's weirdo minority fascism unless the majority are replaced by robots who don't have a human nature. Robots don't care if you get rid of everything instinctive, and everything that existed.

News used to be considered unbiased information (my opinion) but this no longer rings true...it would be best to view "news" as an entertainment entity considering the intent of making money and using this public platform for personal gain...
Changing to an entertainment structure allows the broadcasting of ignorant unsubstantiated stories but many do get their information from news casts and have an expectation of truth telling...
Thanks for your comment...
