Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / The Thought Police Strike Again! Will FOX NEWS Be Banned In Canada?
Transcript
- 0:00So have I mentioned lately that Canada's descending into authoritarianism? Oh? What ten
- 0:05minutes ago? Oh well, sorry to tell you there's more. Here's the
- 0:09headline, CRTC considering banning Fox News from Canadian cable packages. An LGBTQ rights
- 0:17group asked the CRTC to ban Fox News over false and horrifying claims made by
- 0:24host Tucker Carlson regarding transgender individuals. And if that sounds like insane hyperbole,
- 0:31well of course it is. This is Trudeau's Canada. Now. The fact
- 0:34that Tucker Carlson is no longer with Fox News and has taken quite a lot
- 0:38of his audience with him doesn't seem to matter in this case. Ultimately,
- 0:43Fox News is still a conservative news source and as such is not something that
- 0:48the left wants to tolerate. They want to destroy any descent from their message,
- 0:53from their narrative. So that's what's happening here. So the CRTC is
- 0:56the Canadian Radio Television Telecommunications Commission, and this is supposed to be you know,
- 1:00independent ish from the federal government, but I don't think it's full in
- 1:06anybody. And of course, like every institution in Canada, you know that
- 1:10it is full of people that vote for Trudeau. And anyway, I guess
- 1:14you know, the Emergency's Act is not enough. All of Trudeau's online censorship
- 1:18bills, they aren't enough. Now you've got to go after Fox News too.
- 1:22And I think this is clearly political. But let's see what they have
- 1:26to say about it. This CRTC has opened a public consultation on a complaint
- 1:30from an LGBTQ rights group asking the broadcast regulator to ban Fox News from cable
- 1:37packages in Canada. So this group that complained, they published an open letter
- 1:42following a March appearance on the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show. The group said the
- 1:48Fox News quote coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against two SLG all of
- 1:55those letters communities, particularly those who are two spirit, trans, non binary,
- 2:01and gender nonconforming. It's hard to keep track of them all. And
- 2:05I don't mean that in a mean way or to denigrate anybody. I just
- 2:08mean it is really hard to keep track quote. During the segment, Carlson
- 2:13made the inflammatory and false claim that trans people are targeting Christians. So this
- 2:20Stucker Carlson segment obviously came after a trans shooter targeted a Christian Academy and killed
- 2:25six people, three of them being children. And I guess that's the context
- 2:30there. And of course it has to be said, there is not a
- 2:32group of any humans anywhere on the planet where there's not a portion of them
- 2:37are violent. And let's see the letter also accused the segment of stoking resentment
- 2:40against the twost all the letters individuals through misinformation quote including that trans people are
- 2:47given preferential treatment and employment and other opportunities. Well, here, this is
- 2:53from the government of Canada, and they've got to pay cheer about inclusive federal
- 2:58policies and programs and law. Let's see Federal two s LGBTQI plus action Plan.
- 3:05We've got an entire pride season going on there. Trudeau's apologizing about something.
- 3:10Here, here's funding opportunities. So it seems like the Canadian government is
- 3:15preferential in some ways, is it not. I mean here SCBC Radio Canada
- 3:21Diversity Writers Mentoring Program, their Diversity and Inclusion Committee. So let me come
- 3:25on New week in in here. Now I'm seeing people on Twitter trying to
- 3:29frame this as being about the dominion case and the Fox News lies because they
- 3:34settled this case. Well, oh, CNN settled a case with Nick Senman.
- 3:38There's a two hundred and seventy five million dollar lawsuit. Now how much
- 3:40did they settle for? It wouldn't have been that much, but we don't
- 3:44know. I'm guessing it wasn't fifty dollars and a CNN hat. Of course,
- 3:47we had MSNBC. Well, I'll just read the headline. A court
- 3:52ruled Rachel Maddow's viewers know that she offers exaggeration and opinion, not facts.
- 3:58Because Rachel Maddow and MSNBC we're sued by oan one American News and MSNBC actually
- 4:04won that case. But this is how they won it by saying, well,
- 4:09it's not news, it's just opinion, and the viewers know that quote.
- 4:12Madou's show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about
- 4:16the daily news and Obama appointed judge ruled. Essentially they won the case because
- 4:23they're not news. So if you're talking about Fox isn't news, you have
- 4:28to get rid of MSNBC and CNN as well. But as we know the
- 4:31fact that the CRTC is even considering this is pure politics. This is clearly
- 4:36political. The only question is to me is how far up the political letter
- 4:42does it go? Would anybody be surprised if a little nudge had come from
- 4:45the Prime Minister's office. I mean, we see scandal after scandal, just
- 4:49an endless stream of revelations of Chinese interference, from secret donations from the CCP
- 4:57to the Trudeau Foundation, to secret Chinese the police stations all over Canada,
- 5:01to threatening the family of a sitting Conservative MP in Canada, all swept under
- 5:08the rug, with Trudeau himself at odds with his own staff as to whether
- 5:12he was even informed about this stuff. So I place no limits on Trudeau's
- 5:15corruption. He's been trying to punish rebel news for years now. He doesn't
- 5:19like people disagreeing with him. I would actually say that this is symbolic of
- 5:25how politics in Canada works now under Trudeau. Canadian politics and justice have been
- 5:30reforged into the image of Justin Trudeau himself, alternately smirking and scowling about the
- 5:36enemy, those intolerance who must not be tolerated. And we know who's intolerant,
- 5:42because Trudeau told us, and he was seconded by those enlightened scholars at
- 5:46the CBC. I would say this is all totally predictable. In Trudeau's Canada,
- 5:50the witch has been identified. The witch is anybody that Trudeau says as
- 5:55a witch, and more broadly, he's just anybody who wasn't far left anyway.
- 5:59Police describe, like and share Sharank really helps me out. I thank
- 6:01you for that. I will see you next time. H
