Regarding Levant's apology for his racist screed against the Roma, we suggested his apology was, just perhaps, a cynical effort to bolster Sun News' efforts to get mandatory carriage.
In an interview on CBC Radio, VP of Kory Teneycke said, in part, the following:
Off also questioned why Levant last week reissued his apology over the comments, on the same day Sun News finalized its application to be licenced as a mandatory channel on basic cable and satellite across Canada.
In a moment of candour, Teneycke admitted that the second apology was “a part of our CRTC application.”
Off noted that made the apology “seem less sincere.”
Looks like we were right about his sincerity.

I wonder if people realize that Ezra has written open letters of support for Jew hating Neo Nazi like Paul Fromm? Yet, he has the gall to call anyone who challenges him (Ezra) on his extremist race hating views an anti-semite??! Seems they jump into bed quite a bit, Ezra and the far right racist extremists and other associated Neo Nazis. What was Ezra's relationship with Doug Christie?
