Standards Council rules against CTV on Dion

[CHIMO]

The arbiter of ethics on the airwaves says CTV was in the wrong when it broadcast a series of false starts from an interview with former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council says CTV was discourteous and inconsiderate to broadcast the false starts when they told Mr. Dion they wouldn't.

The council also said the question posed to Mr. Dion was confusing, even to an English speaker.

CTV Newsnet rebroadcast the false starts on the Mike Duffy Live show that day, where a panel criticized the Liberal leader.

1. You mean,

CTV went out of its way to make a Liberal look bad? Well I never would have thought it possible! :sarcasm:


On the bright side, at least we don't have to deal with Puffy Duffy anymore. (Except in the Senate, but for now we don't have to listen to him)

That only leaves Craig Oliver and that other useless twit who heads the Ottawa office. "Well, it looks like the Liberals have done it again..."

2. I think the Conservatives will pay for this in Quebec for a long time

Quebecers may not have been crazy about Dione, but having the Conservatives make fun of his English went going too far.
