CBSC Dings Ezra

Ottawa, September 9, 2013 - The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) today released its decision concerning comments made about “Gypsies” on Sun News Network.  During his program The Source, Ezra Levant made negative comments about that ethnic group.  The CBSC found the broadcast in violation of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ (CAB) Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code.

The CBSC did not, however, require that Sun News  announce this decision on air, having decided that the network had grovelled sufficiently via its previous apologies, which I wrote about here.
