Sask Government Tells CBC How To Do Its Job

In other slippery-slope news, yesterday the Star Phoenix reported that Saskatchewan Justice Minister Don Morgan asked the CBC to not broadcast interviews with convicted cop killer Curt Dagenais.

Morgan also told the Star Phoenix his government would not censor the interview, they just didn't think it should be broadcast.

How magnanimous of government to not censor the media. Truly we live in a free society.

As can be read in the story, the CBC says they often interview convicted criminals because this can provide insight and present all sides of a story to the public.

Sounds like journalism to me.

(Tip of the hat to "you know who you are" for sending me this link.)

In other freedom of speech news, prairie dog is still banned from distributing in Saskatchewan's government-run liquor stores.
