What price fairness?

Article Abstract:

A recent case involving the UK Independent Television Commission (ITC) and TV station MED-TV illustrates the uniqueness of British fair broadcasting concepts. MED-TV distributes programs to Kurds around the world and has been accused by Turkey as a media arm of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The ITC fined MED-TV $144,000 for airing a rally of the PKK without supplying balancing material and for allegedly supporting terrorist organizations.

Ukraine reached a compromise with Moscow with respect to television programming and billing policies.
