Jamie Sarkonak: Egale, the Liberal-funded charity trying to ban Fox News
The rights organization that asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to ban Fox News gets the majority of its money from government.
It’s an awfully lucrative funding stream for an organization that happens to call for the silencing of the federal government’s ideological opponents. While federal funding certainly isn’t a death sentence for credibility, it’s something to be mindful of — especially when that money is new, and especially when the recipient seems to align with government on many issues.
