Don't cry off to the council. You are a big boy, you have seen it now. Are you being a hero by preventing other adults from seeing it? Why not let them see it and decide for themselves if they now hate CHEK and Black Press?
Not sure how many times I can explain this, but the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council does not monitor or censor programming:
Your feedback is important. The CBSC does not monitor or censor programming. It only reviews broadcasts when it receives complaints from listeners or viewers who have heard or seen something that concerns them.
If you see or hear something that concerns you, write down:
- the date and time of the broadcast
- the name or call letters of the broadcaster
- a short summary of your complaint.
Your complaint must be made in writing. There are three ways you can submit your complaint:
- complete the Complaint Form at the right of this page
- send a letter by post to CBSC, PO Box 3265 Station D, Ottawa, ON K1P 6H8
- fax your letter to 613-233-4826
Please contact us as soon as possible following a broadcast that concerns you, and at the latest within three weeks of the broadcast. Broadcasters are only required to retain copies of what was broadcast for four weeks and some processing time is required.
RULING REQUEST
If you have already filed a complaint with the CBSC and received a response from the broadcaster, but you are not satisfied with the response, you can ask the CBSC to rule on the matter by completing the Ruling Request Form. Please submit the form within 14 days of receiving a response from the broadcaster.
This is an organization to which CHEK voluntarily belongs. They can withdraw at any time. And perhaps they will. It is entirely up to them.
It may create cognitive dissonance for you, as a libertarian, to watch a libertarian-based complaint system in action. But be a big boy. Are you being a hero by portraying this as state-run censorship, when it is based entirely on the voluntary cooperation of privately-owned broadcasters?
