Besides the compulsive nature of the
show, the subject matter of the show is out of the line and may
be against the directives of the station.
What is wrong abut this broadcast is that it does not advance the
knowledge about the subject matter.
Does this fortune telling belong to social science, to statistics,
to a prescriptive model for behavior, a conjecture, a belief that
is irrelevant, a theory based on causation - fortune follows from
good deeds and punishment results from wrongful acts. If this is
the case, then tell the People of Hong Kong what should happen to
the directors of bus companies.
The crux of the matter is that this broadcast is a one way transmission
of expression dictated by one party along. In this sense, this type
of broadcast should fall out from the ambit of protection of the
freedom of expression protection. |
