Anti-Semitic hate speech? OK. FoxNews? Forget about it. Dhimmitude gallops forward in Canada. From WND, with thanks to Jjp Mackie:
The Canadian commission that approves applications for television access yesterday OK’d Arab news network Al-Jazeera to broadcast on the nation’s satellite system.
While approving Al-Jazeera and eight other new non-Canadian third-language services, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission rejected applications from an Italian and several Spanish-language outlets….
The Toronto Globe and Mail reported the Al-Jazeera application received considerable support from many of the 500,000 Canadians of Arabic and west Asian origin. The Canadian Jewish Congress, among others, however, argued that the 8-year-old network disseminates “anti-Semitic hate speech.”…
The approval of Al-Jazeera comes as the U.S.-based Fox News Channel continues to seek access to Canadian television. The commission currently is taking public comments regarding a request by the popular cable network to be added to the list of approved channels. The comment period ends Aug. 9.
