& exposing students to Noam Chomsky
Senator Mike Duffy has attacked the University of King's College and other
Canadian journalism schools for exposing students to Noam Chomsky and
critical thinking.
"When you put critical thinking together with Noam Chomsky, what you've
got is a group of people who are taught from the ages of 18, 19 and 20
that what we stand for, private enterprise, a system that has generated
more wealth for more people because people take risks and build
businesses, is bad," Duffy is quoted as saying.
Duffy then told Conservatives they have nothing to apologize for because
most Canadians are not "on the fringe where these other people are."

CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL
NATIONAL SPECIALTY SERVICES PANEL
CTV Newsnet re an episode of Mike Duffy Live Prime Time
(Stéphane Dion Interview)
(CBSC Decision 08/09-0213 & -0281)
Decided April 6, 2009
The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has found that CTV Newsnet
violated the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Code of Ethics in a
broadcast of Mike Duffy Live Prime Time on October 9, 2008. CTV Newsnet
broadcast several restarts of an interview with Stéphane Dion which
originally aired on CTV Atlantic. The CBSC has concluded that the
rebroadcast of the outtakes when the broadcaster had consented to restart
the interview and the consistent misrepresentation by host Mike Duffy of
the point of view of one of his invited guests violated Clause 6 of the
Code, which requires the fair and proper presentation of news, opinion,
comment and editorial.
