Bourrie's "Banned By Fox News North" Story Goes Virile

I mean viral.  But why would anyone possibly want to keep this face off of television?

 A couple of MSM stories out there now about how Mark Bourrie, whose latest book is about WWII government censorship of the press in Canada, got banned from putatively free-speech loving Sun TV.  They just serve as a reminder that 99.9% percent of the argument pro-Speechy is pure hypocrisy.  Though, to be fair, Mark still believes. But, believe me, Sun TV doesn't; the only reason they want unrestricted free speech is to bash Muzzis and Gays. 

Banned By Fox News North!

Mark Bourrie was, after being approached as a potential hire by Kory Teneycke last year. Interesting in that it sounds like Mark's the 2nd person Sun TV approached to fill the position of dedicated Suzuki basher.

Warman And Bourrie On Diab

From Warman's letter to the Ottawa Citizen:

While it's true that the presumption of innocence is a long-established pillar of Canadian criminal law, it's also a common labour law practice for those accused of substantial wrongdoing to be relieved of their duties pending resolution of their cases.

Larry O'Brien excused himself from his mayoral duities to face influence-peddling charges againtst him, and it would be shocking if this wasn't the case for someone accused of multiple murders at a place of worship like Diab is.

From Bourrie's blog:

Would Carleton faculty be as quick to support Hassan Diab's right to teach if he had been charged with killing four people in an abortion clinic bombing or the dynamiting of a mosque instead of a synagogue attack? I don't know if Diab is guilty, and there seems to, on the surface, be an argument for mistaken identity. This will be sorted out by the courts in Canada and, quite likely, France. I think, in times when universities bend over backwards to ensure Muslims, gays, people of colour, women and handicapped people are not made uncomfortable by faculty opinions, having an alleged synagogue bomber teaching Jewish students might be a bit, um, discomforting for them.

About where I stand on the matter, although is there any evidence at all of a negative response from Carleton's student community, Jewish or otherwise?
