Reminder: Why a Possible Victory Over CBC Is So Important For GamerGate The following excerpts from Page 5 of the CBC Television Manual for Programming Standards & Practices... https://40.media.tumblr.com/b6f0c56618ec8f460a0dfe6506b476d7/tumblr_inline_npjtm3ZpER1r4ctrh_540.png CBC Standards – CRTC Regulatory oversight: Although the CBC is not a signator to the CAB or the CBSC, The CRTC expects as a minimum, that CBC respect the standards to which all other broadcasters adhere. Sources for CBC Broadcast Standards: [...] ...Clauses 5 through 7 of the CAB Code of Ethics from the CBSC website...* *Clause 5 – News It shall be the responsibility of broadcasters to ensure that news shall be represented with accuracy and without bias. Broadcasters shall satisfy themselves that the arrangements made for obtaining news ensure this result. They shall also ensure that news broadcasts are not editorial. News shall not be selected for the purpose of furthering or hindering either side of any controversial public issue, nor shall it be formulated on the basis of the beliefs, opinions or desires of management, the editor or others engaged in its preparation or delivery. The fundamental purpose of news dissemination in a democracy is to enable people to know what is happening, and to understand events so that they may form their own conclusions. Nothing in the foregoing shall be understood as preventing broadcasters from analyzing and elucidating news so long as such analysis or comment is clearly labeled as such and kept distinct from regular news presentations. Broadcasters are also entitled to provide editorial opinion, which shall be clearly labeled as such and kept entirely distinct from regular broadcasts of news or analysis. Broadcasters shall refer to the Code of Ethics of the Radio and Television News Directors of Canada ("RTNDA") for more detailed provisions regarding broadcast journalism in general and to the CAB Violence Code for guidance with respect to the depiction of violence, graphic reporting of delicate subject matter or the use of explicit language in news and public affairs programming on television. Clause 6 – Full, Fair and Proper Presentation It is recognized that the full, fair and proper presentation of news, opinion, comment and editorial is the prime and fundamental responsibility of each broadcaster. This principle shall apply to all radio and television programming, whether it relates to news, public affairs, magazine, talk, call-in, interview or other broadcasting formats in which news, opinion, comment or editorial may be expressed by broadcaster employees, their invited guests or callers. Clause 7 – Controversial Public Issues Recognizing in a democracy the necessity of presenting all sides of a public issue, it shall be the responsibility of broadcasters to treat fairly all subjects of a controversial nature. Time shall be allotted with due regard to all the other elements of balanced program schedules, and the degree of public interest in the questions presented. Recognizing that healthy controversy is essential to the maintenance of democratic institutions, broadcasters will endeavour to encourage the presentation of news and opinion on any controversy which contains an element of the public interest. ...and the following links should be all the explanation you need: http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/11/producers-didnt-want-the-full-story-of-gamergate-according-to-journalist/ http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/11/cbc-breaches-multiple-journalistic-ethics-standards-to-smear-gamergate/ http://lunararchivist.tumblr.com/post/109644115186/gamergate-media-watch-part-2-gamerella-girl http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/12/cbc-exec-acknowledges-gamergate-media-slant-states-ethics-are-important/ http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/01/gamergate-cbc-contradicts-ethics-principles-while-denying-impropriety/ http://lunararchivist.tumblr.com/post/109038262396/gamergate-media-watch-part-1-ashley-lynch http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/02/gamergate-ign-game-informer-giant-bomb-are-the-problem-says-brianna-wu/ http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2x4gt2/holy_fuck_cbc_gamergates_an_online_movement_that/ http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/06/crtc-continues-investigation-into-cbc-over-slanted-gamergate-coverage/ http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/38qlbs/crtc_continues_investigation_into_cbc_over/ To say that the CBC’s coverage of GamerGate has been slanted since they first started reporting on it back in October 2014 is like saying that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is just a tad off center. Not only have multiple lies of omission been made and a bunch of opportunists, liars, zealots, con artists, and crazy people been allowed to explain who we are to the world, but their statements have been allowed to go unchallenged since, in the no less than eight news segments that have appeared on various media platforms where our consumer revolt has been mentioned, not one single pro-GamerGate individual has been interviewed or allowed to speak. What makes the CBC different from the other mainstream media outlets attacking us is that they're a crown corporation, i.e. they're federally owned and thus answerable to the Canadian government, who helps pay their bills. We thus have more leverage over them than we do over, say, ABC (owned by Disney) or CNN (owned by Time Warner), and stand a better chance of holding them responsible for their actions. And, as you can see in the above images, articles, excerpts, and links, there’ve been shenanigans and the CBC’s definitely guilty of violating their own rules. We just need to get the attention of the right people by filing complaints with the CRTC and showing them all the evidence we’ve gathered. http://redd.it/38uz8s http://lunararchivist.tumblr.com/post/120896763041/why-a-possible-victory-over-cbc-so-important-for https://twitter.com/LunarArchivist/status/607360896608935936
