A good example of CBC bias...

[Fransisco]

This ones for mustard, wilagro and anyone else who thinks the CBC is "fair and balanced" and committed to reporting the facts.

Of course you would be an Ezra Levant fan...IMHO he's another big-mouth sack of blubber who I believe was a Reform supporter at one time but has since spun around looking for a cause and now seems to just support him.

Albertans evidently didn't support many of his causes as they didn't buy his crappy magazine or newspaper or whatever it was either so it went belly-up.

[Fransisco]

And once again wilagro you fail to address the substance of the argument choosing instead to get personal.

[per]

Where was Ezra offside? Did he get it wrong? Agreeing or disagreeing with someone doesn't make you in or out of his corner or a lover or hater of the individual. Unless of course CBC is your total source of information.

Wilagro,

DId I read this right? Did you actually write this about Ezra???

"he's another big-mouth sack of blubber..."

NICE... Wilagro... your writing skills are soooo... revealing of your character!!!

[wilagro]

Thanks Tom....I wrote many an essay in my time.

I agree that sometimes cbc is too polite. When George Bush and his white vampire sidekick invaded Iraq should they should have called that Terrorism? And conseqently they could have been Tried for War Crimes.

When Israel keeps spreading into palestinean territory and ignoring U.N resolutions Not to. Is that terrorism ?

When Columbus and later the Spaniards came to the Americas to slaughter the natives if they didn't hand over their weight in Gold everyday was that terrorism?
Franny one man's freedom fighter is another Man's terrorist.
So if you are a journalist you report the news you don't editorialize. Unlike Rupert Murdoch's little minded tribe

[Fransisco]

So how is it then that a man who doesn't even go to church gets branded as a "christian fundamentalist"? Just reporting the facts? No editorializing here? Oh, please...

Fransisco, so you and Ezra Levant don't like the CBC? who cares?

Suns News ratings are so low only the the right wing fanatics and extremists bother watching.

[Fransisco]

What I don't like is the CBC's selective reporting of facts, and its habit of slanting everything to the extreme left side of the political spectrum all on the taxpayers dime.

If nobody likes sun news it will go away. If nobody likes the CBC(and if you check their ratings, most people don't) they will just go on and on and we all have to pay for it.

CHUCKchuck;

"Fransisco, so you and Ezra Levant don't like the CBC? who cares?"

EVERY CANADIAN should care... as the CBC has added BILLIONS to the Canadian deficit...

Just so you and mustard can 'feel good'!

Is there no right or wrong in your world?

Where do you draw the line... just when you are spending the Canadian Taxpayers money... anything goes that makes you 'feel good'???

[wilagro]

Tom: but buying 100 surplus tanks at over a million dollars a pop and then a pile of money to retrofit them with air conditioning was a good expenditure...right? That was government money too.

What CBC critics hate most is any CBC news reports that puts the CONs in a bad light.

[Fransisco]

Here is the story about the tanks

I would say spending money to help keep our troops safe or to better meet their objectives is money far better spent than on the talentless blowhards(with the exception of Don Cherry) at the cbc.

The cost of the CBC is relatively small and is a good investment. Provides lots of jobs and economic activity. Many countries in Europe invest in public radio and TV. Commercial free radio is a breath a fresh air compared to most of the crappy stations that have to find revenue from advertisers. Whether you pay through taxes or indirectly when you purchase advertised products, there is still a cost to the consumer whether you listen or not. CBC provides an alternative. As a taxpayer we pay for many things we don't use or don't support, so whether you agree with or disagree or like or don't like the CBC, it doesn't really matter. CBC radio provides a service that would not exist in the commercial market. CBC TV could do a better job.
