      1. An addendum to this @omar_aok on the end of Sun News: http://canadalandshow.com/article/everyone-sun-news-deserved-be-fired …

      2. Look: is it sad that people at Sun News are losing their jobs? Sure. It's sad whenever anybody loses their job.

      3. The retail store Target is closing in Canada, shedding more than 17,000 jobs. That's sad too.

      4. But Sun News didn't just prove a few hundred jobs, it also provided news. Content of that news is worth thinking about.

      5. Ezra Levant on Sun News about the Roma: " Gypsies are not a race. They’re a shiftless group of hobos. They rob people blind."

      6. After Levant's anti-Roma rant: "It was not the intent of Sun News.... to promote negative stereotypes about the Roma people."

      7. I find the corporate apology even more troubling than Levant's frothing, because intent of original statement is so blindingly obvious.

      8. As @omar_aok's original post makes clear, Sun News also has habit of airing hate speech against Muslim-Canadians & Muslims.

      9. So, those who are mourning the death of Sun News, I'd ask you what exactly are you crying over? Leaving the jobs aside.

      10. Are you crying for a Canada where the Roma are less likely to be described as "hobos" and "thieves"?

          11. Are you mourning a Canada where there isn't a national broadcast outlet for Islamophobia?

          12. If you are mourning the death of Sun News, can you at least understand why the Roma or Muslim Canadians have dry eyes?
