  • Canadian Broadcast Standards Council Ontario Regional Council
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CFRB-AM re the Ed Needham Show (OWD Publication) (CBSC Decision 92/93-0096) Decided May 26, 1993 Marianne Barrie (Chair), Al MacKay (Vice-Chair), Susan Fish, Paul Fockler, Don Luzzi, Robert Stanbury FACTS OF THE CASE The January 6, 1993 Ed Needham show, a phone-in talk show on CFRB, discussed, among other items, a recent Ontario Women's Directorate Publication entitled "Words that Count Women In." The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) received two complaint letters about the program. First complaint The first complaint, referred from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) was dated January 28, 1993. A listener felt that the host of the program "conducted his own anti-woman program." The listener further indicated that [h]e used such phrases as 'up yours OWD' and 'fascist fascist rabid feminists' etc. etc. Not only what was said was offensive, it was the vile manner in which ... [the host]... spat out the words .... [The host] ... hid under the guise of defending the freedom of speech (a red herring) to attack the OWD and women in general [...] The CBSC Secretariat sent the letter to CFRB for response. In its response, CFRB indicated that it sought to present topics "in a fair and balanced manner." With respect to this particular program, the station added, ... the program which you have identified featured ... [the host's] ... strenuous objection to a government body (the Ontario Women's Directorate) attempting to control the way the citizens of a country should speak .... ... [The host] ... did not attack the OWD as a group, but rather he voiced objection to their attempt to dictate to the population in general, the manner in which they should communicate to ensure that they are 'politically correct.’ ..
