Again!

I read another article about how Gilles Duceppe told his staffers not to brief him on the Gomery inquiry because he was afraid he would break the publication ban.

Am I just completely uninformed on what a publication ban is, or is Gilles Duceppe along with the Canadian media really as dumb as they seem?

Gilles Duceppe does NOT break the publication ban by talking about the testimony, the MEDIA would be the ones who would be breaking the ban by REPORTING his comments. Gilles Duceppe's words do not automatically publish themselves onto newspapers - reporters actually have to write those words, those words then pass through an editor and then they're published, and if that ever happened, how would that be Gilles Duceppe's fault?

Similarly, if Gilles Duceppe were to stand up in the House of Commons in order to use parliamentary privilege in order to break the publication ban, wouldn't it be CPAC and the other stations by reporting his live comments who would be breaking the ban? Shouldn't they have a 5-second delay in order to prevent something like that?

Am I wrong here? Or is the Canadian media really this misinformed about what a publication ban actually is?
