Should Public Television be Supporting Hate Speech?

By: Contributor · February 12, 2009 · Filed Under Media Law · 3 Comments 

Earlier today Warren Kinsella pointed out that Steve Paikin’s The Agenda will be having a very interesting guest on their show.  One who, without question, clearly promotes hatred for racial/ethnic minorities, the disabled, and the poor.

Scott Tribe has reiterated these concerns, and provides a sample letter for TVO.

Is that how your tax dollars should be spent?

More importantly, what is the responsibilty of publicly funded media when inviting guests that are clearly beyond the pale of reasonable discourse?
