Top Conservative blogger Stephen Taylor does an excellent job!
He exposes the incredible, deliberate bias of the CBC with the aid of an email from Tom Flanagan, who recently was on the receiving end of such dishonesty and bias from the CBC.
Read his email.
View the CBC report and see for yourself how it is one-sided, now that they decided not to have an expert for the "other side" on to provide balance to the lone "expert" they did bother to interview. There's more, too. A comprehensively done post. Plenty of compelling evidence/testimonial.
Of course, I've seen such one-sided news "reporting" in the CBC and other MSM outlets countless times on a daily basis for years and years, so this comes as no surprise to me.
Why, therefore, blog about it anyway?
Because it's paid for by our tax dollars. It is unacceptable for a state broadcaster to practice politically partisan bias, using our money.
And what's unnerving in addition to that is the fascism of the CRTC, which doesn't want to make it easier for the private sector to start up conservative news outlets, like FOX in the US, to provide the "other side" of each story, which the CBC refuses so frequently to do.
Now... why on earth should Prime Minister Stephen Harper allow the CBC to continue to enjoy suckling on the taxpayers' teats? Why? So they can help the Liberals get back into power? So they can do drive-by smears of the Conservative government? Why should he take our money and give it to those SOBs?
I hope something is done about the CBC. Either force them to reform to become politically neutral, ideologically neutral, report just the fair, balanced and comprehensive... and unfiltered-by-ideology-and-partisanship facts!
Is it not reasonable to expect a Crown Corporation to do its job according to the applicable laws and ethical standards of Canada?
What the hey... just get rid of the whole bloody thing. It is utterly worthless and astonishingly wasteful. Buy MRIs for the nation's equipment-starved hospitals instead with the money!
Oh, and here's a piece by Canada.com on the matter. Guess it'd be too much to expect the CBC to report negatively, if truthfully, about itself.
