Accusations of censorship
editThis article seems fairly bland compared to other writings about Izzy Asper. In particular I was wondering about the accusations of censorship you hear from different sources: http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/Izzy_Asper
- "Asper would occasionally pen editorials defending the nation in his various papers and was accused by a number of media observers of censoring opinions critical of Zionism or which he deemed sympathetic to the Palestinians."
Something similar is here http://slick.org/deathwatch/mailarchive/msg01142.html and http://mediamatters.org/columns/200703010014
- "CanWest's recent history is littered with lawsuits, gag orders, and byline strikes, buffered by a steady stream of columnists, reporters, and editors who complain CanWest actively censors its employees who stray from the company's conservative, pro-war, pro-Israel blueprint."
Article title
editWhy is is it Izzy Asper, rather than his name Israel Asper? What's wrong with using his real first name for the article title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.37.44 (talk) 22:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
