Yippee! The Toronto Star<\/a> is reporting that the CRTC is threatening to deny the license for Oprah’s OWN network in Canada because it is not meeting the educational mandate of it’s original license. \u00c2\u00a0While I have seen some commenters noting that TLC and the History channel are both bigger offenders of not meeting educational requirements, with such lovely shows as Honey-Boo Boo (which I am very proud to say I have never seen) and “Ice Road Truckers” (again, never seen).<\/p>\n

I’m just happy because Oprah is consistently one of the worst promoters of woo in the world. \u00c2\u00a0Dr. Oz is a joke, promoting homeopathy and naturopathic (or more rightly naturopathetic) medicine that has a body count against it. \u00c2\u00a0Her own show has featured Jenny McCarthy who is actively killing children by telling people not to get their kids immunized. \u00c2\u00a0Dr. Phil has psychics on that are “proven” to work. \u00c2\u00a0This is without even mentioning “The Secret” or any of the people that talk to the dead, \u00c2\u00a0the ‘psychic surgery’ freak she promotes (John of God).<\/p>\n

Hopefully we get rid of the network, just to mess with Oprah and her legions of followers. \u00c2\u00a0Then the next step is to put some real shows on that help to educate the masses. We can only hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
