Seeing red?

It seems Red-FM, the recent recipient of radio license to serve Vancouver's ethnic communities, got into a spot of bother with the provincial New Democrats last month. In an interview with your humble organ, communication director Jim Rutkowski confirmed caucus filed a complaint against the station with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on March 14. But Mr. Rutkowski declined to elaborate, saying "The matter's been resolved" following discussions with the station. "So I'm not going to comment any further on it."

My guess? The complaint was that this station was engaging in excessive Liberal partisanship.

That is so funny. Start a new medium for broadcasting excessive Liberal partisanship ... ?? Like, there's a demand for MORE of that stuff in B.C.?? Oh, the roses should be beautiful this year!!

Perhaps Pie-in-the-sky, you don't realize that needing more and getting more are two different things. We don't, for example, need another silly bugger "BC - Best Place on Earth" TV ad campaign. But that doesn't mean we won't soon be getting one.

So the NDP is filing complaints against an ethnic radio station? What could they have done to piss off the NDP?

Am I the only one that thinks this looks bad from a PR perspective? NDP muzzling the media???
