CBC Exposed

[shtferbrains]

Not realy anything we didn't know. Totally agree with most of what she says but the decline in my opinion started when they went from a short pertinent newscast to one hour of editorializing.

What happens now. Will anyone hold thier feet to the fire? Will the slightly more right conservatives cut thier funding and require real news reports?

Probably just more woke articles based on stuff picked up off the internet.

My generation was still concerned about the man/woman ratio hiring and Rosemary Barton.
All of a sudden it's all woke Social Justice Warriors.

Don't watch it at all and get real fidgety when it's on in a vehicle I'm riding in.

I agree about the socialist BBC at least having some news.

Read the book of same name a while back.
The costs are more than we know. An endless pool of money for legal teams is just one of the open check books. Zero fiscal responsibility. All politics. As in Ottawa, no one there has ever written a check or lived outside of university or govt.
How could the CBC turn out any different the way it's structured and operated?
Anyone can see the what and how of its evolution from public servant to self serving puppet over the last generation. Inevitable. Sadly a true Canadian institution in every sense.
I support a way to change or scrap it.
I subscribe to PBS and have always thought it a sustainable model for public broadcasting. It's programming speaks for itself. Utterly no comparison whatsoever.
However, what we have is so firmly ingrained there is no way to change it easily.
Gutting the CRTC, opening up bandwidth etc to all companies and shows and maybe make the cbc beat the pavement for corporate and private sponsors.
CKUA radio here in AB another example of how it could look. True cultural openness driven by donor demand.
Not a centralized, mandated, edict from on high for the unwashed. Thank JTs dad for that too?

"Reads like a parody of the student press" best describes what to expect if you follow CBC.

Slowly the truth is being exposed.
What was once a conspiracy theory that the CBC was just a liberal mouthpiece.... is no longer
Like many other things , reality is showing up .

State owned media. That pretty much says it all. Twenty years ago, they would at least try to hide their political bias. Not any more. Just a bunch of lazy Liberal boot lickers whose ideas have very little relevance in this part of the country. The politicization of CBC is first step in Canada's endless march toward a politically polarized media, similar to what you already see in the US. I'm sure there's still a few good journalists at CBC. But you won't see much their work when the entire 60 minute national newscast is filled with COVID hysteria and the incoherent blathering of"the panel". Marketplace is about the only CBC show worth watching.

The Cbc is wokeing itself into to oblivion. I agree on that.
I love Dave Chappell, and shame on the cbc if they do not. People need to get over being offended.
But some of you seem to think that letting the Rupert Murdocks (fox) and the
ELON 'S or Jeff Bezos run the media , would be an improvement.
You see the garbage fox puts out now . And you want more.
Just Who do you think will own all media then ,? Guess?
You already bought into globalization under the Bushes Clinton's and Mulroney s . Now pissed at that monster of your own creation , global capitalism, you want to hand all of the media over to them.

The same controlling intrests you are worried about.
Sounds like they are outsmarting you again.

Sounds like they are outsmarting you again.

Nobody voted for globalization, they just went ahead and did it and that went all the way back to the 1970s. If both parties are doing it, how do you vote against it?

The death of paper media coincided with the rose of social media and the internet I can remember paying $1.25 a day for a news paper, now you can get a month of their garbage for that. Did we really expect journalistic integrity for basically a free product?

Here is how things are shaping up in the US. Hate fox all you want but they are are closer to reality than anyone else except Rogan who dominates media now. CNN has the same ratings as reruns of Mr Ed.

Those who think rebel news and Fox are journalism, shouldn't have an opinion on what is good journalism. LOL

Considering the number of stupid wacky conspiracy theories about a wide range of subjects on full display on Agrisilly there is not much point discussing journalistic integrity.

The majority says you are wrong. Only 4% of Canadians are stupid enough to tune into CBC for their news. Joe Rogan gets more viewers than CBC does and CBC needs a billion in tax payer money every year.

I would say your woke media are teetering into oblivion. Maybe Rogan can be paid to push climate nonsense.

Here you go Chuck;

All you are looking for the day before the CBC picks it up.

Defending one extreme using the other for a foil a tired strategy of deflection Chuck.
Thanks for your non contribution.
How well did that strategy work in 2012?

[foragefarmer]

The point is the way everything is turning out now was considered a conspiracy theory 2 years ago by those profiting today ..... good foresight there forage

I had very sound companies which I knew weren't going anywhere. The same shit happened to the markets with the SARS and Ebola scares a few years back. I just follow Buffets rule of buying and holding good companies, and when those companies took a shit kicking in 2020 I bought more of them.

I don't bother worrying about shit I can't control especially all the countless cut and pastes that ended up on Agriville the past couple of years.

Maybe those guys should spend less time searching the internet and focus on what they can change.

I hope your healing slowly!

Of course you voted for it. The only ones against globalization were the left.
The BS line of the day was free American/ European capital. Anything less , why that's communism. BUSH seniors own words. Ship manufacturing away ,increase profits , only the Chinese figured it out too and are now outdoing the capitalists ,
Not that it was all bad , we got a lot of cheap stuff and the third world got developed. And that gave us a market for our grains.
Hey You voted for Mulroney to enter into trade deals that gave corporations more power than any govt. If you are a bad actor corporation ,now under the FTA the global Corp.s can just tell govt.s to f off.
Sadly you gave global capital more power than the governments of the people in those country's. And you wonder how they get so rich.
Well they can thank you good capitalists for granting them such unfettered power, by voteing for the Mulroneys , Harper's and the Bushes to do the corporations bidding.
You have no right to bitch now.

The same as giving away your right to ever own a seed again . You
did it to yourselves.

[sawfly1]

When are you going to learn. You are the ones working for global capitalists.
Just like Tom cwb , fought for years that signing up to the seed corporations agenda was going to be so good for us.
Then in the end , we lose any right to ever own a seed bred after the 1990s.
And then kinda funny actually, that Tom thought he would make his fortune selling certified seed , because we would have to buy it. Turns out , they dump him and collect the use agreement $ directly from the farmer.
Now be the useful tool again and get rid of any media not bought and paid for by the same corporations.
With you guys on their side , they will be even richer

Gee, I didn't think PBS was so corrupt.
