The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council CBSC: Ezra Levant

Ezra Levant: In a segment of Sun News' "The Source" that aired in September, 2012, the always controversial Levant described the Roma as a culture synonymous with swindlers, according to Huffington Post. Levants comments were in violation of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code , the CBSC announced Monday and Sun News host Ezra Levant violated the broadcasting ethics code when he portrayed Gypsies as being criminals, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council CBSC has ruled. At another point in the segment about an organized crime ring in Ontario that involved some Roma, Levant declared: Gypsies are not a race. They re a shiftless group of hobos. They rob people blind. Their chief economy is theft and begging. For centuries these roving highway gangs have mocked the law and robbed their way across Europe. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
