Women's Lobby Criticizes PBS Decision to Air Ricky Caruana's Show
The women's lobby has slammed the decision of PBS to allocate airtime to podcaster Ricky Caruana, citing his "mediaeval, and blatantly misogynistic opinions" on social media.
Caruana's new program, RICKY debates, will air on Fridays after the 8pm news on TVM, a prized slot among producers and advertisers.
Caruana suggested that workplaces function better if gender-segregated and implied that women should stay at home to care for children.
The Malta Women’s Lobby expressed concern that women's taxes are being used to fund Caruana's show, which they see as demeaning to women.
- The lobby urged PBS to review its decision-making process and consider who benefits from such decisions.
- Caruana's show has sparked controversy among women's rights groups.
