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.
