Canadian TV First
Canadians currently have more access to the Oprah channel and Al Jazeera than they do Sun News. Help get the word out among friends and family to petition the CRTC to put Canadian TV First;
Sun News Network has made what it calls a “do or die” application to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to be put on basic cable, just like its main competitors.
“We are asking for the same type of licence that CTV and CBC had for 13 and 21 years respectively for their news channels,” said Kory Teneycke, vice-president of Sun News.
BCF has a copy of the application.

Deep Impact
The media business was shaken on Friday when it was reported […] that managing editor John Geddes, assistant managing editor Jim Roberts, dining editor Susan Edgerley, former Washington editor Rick Berke, and former Times Magazine editor Jerry Mazorati could all be casualties of the Times’ effort to cut costs. |
News Shaping vs. News Reporting
The following should be a primer for all Journalism 101 students:
Update: The CBC’s Evan Solomon interviews 3 MPs. While watching Carolyn Bennett incoherently defending Chief Spend [sic], don’t forget about this. Ezra Levant shares some insight that you’ll never hear on the CBC.

The importance of prosecuting David Gregory;
I still have not heard back from the three NBC News communications executives I e-mailed just after noon yesterday asking for the position of NBC News on whether the ammunition magazine was real and whether Gregory violated the law.
But assuming, as Gregory stated, that the magazine was for an AR-15, then why shouldn’t Gregory and the staffers to and from whom the magazine was transferred, be prosecuted? […]
Gregory’s possible violation of the law was exposed by the conservative blogosphere, which also pointed out that Gregory sends his kids to a school with armed security at the same time he was mocking the NRA suggestion of armed security in schools.

How embarrassing for @torontostar journalists that they work with editors who cannot distinguish between some dead seals and GENOCIDE.

“The Times reported, not as opinion but as fact in a news story, that the new construction being planned by Israel would cut Ramallah and Bethlehem off from Jerusalem, divide the West Bank in two, and make a contiguous Palestinian state impossible. None of those assertions was true, so we have to withdraw all of them.”
“Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”
It seems odd that in the orgy of recrimination, faux solemnity and glycerine tears of the past few days on the issue of “What can we do?” no one has mentioned something that is A.) Immediate, B) Cheap and C) Bound to be effective and at the least, D) Certainly worth trying.
It’s been mentioned plenty, actually, just not much by our betters in media. They have soap to sell, after all.
But when it comes to things that haven’t been mentioned…
