Rick Mercer hits the nail on the head once again! Harper And The Conservatives Are Thieves (VIDEO) -SHARE!!! I know Stephen Harper has been accused of having a hidden agenda but I didnt think it involved circumventing the Ten Commandments. said Rick Mercer Rick Mercer devoted his rant to eviscerating the prime minister and his government for plans to change Canadas copyright laws to explicitly allow the use of news footage in political (attack propaganda) ads without permission (from Canadian news agencies) huffingtonpost.ca/2014/10/15/rick-mercer-harper-copyright-news-footage-video_n_5989412.html Harper and company want to walk over the intellectual property rights of Canadian broadcasters and journalists by seizing their material without asking to distort the content and take it out of context, thereby forcing the media to be a co-conspirator in Conservative propaganda and subsequently degrading freedom of the press and diminishing the public’s confidence in the media. A key role of the media in a democracy is holding the government to account, which is why media independence, including the ability to protect the journalistic content produced, is so important. However, according to Harper Conservatism, which seeks to control information and the ‘message’, the media is perceived as a threat. >>bit.ly/1wbbcbw -D
