No Evidence Poilievre himself has ever been anything other than funded by government

Some of you seem to forget the obvious that some private media owners exert control over the editorial content of their entities and are not independent sources of unbiased news.

No one forgets that fact. Instead, we exercise the option of voting with our wallets if we don't want to support the agenda of private media or their advertisers.
No one has that option with the cbc. We can all turn it off and ignore it, but our tax dollars will still continue to support them making content.

Would you be in favor of your tax dollars supporting rebel news?

The CBC provides a much needed alternative to the for profit advertising driven media that has to answer to the owners and advertisers.

A lot of what they do is not commercial and would never be done by the private media sector.

Getting rid of the CBC weakens independent quality journalism and cuts the number journalists covering governments and the issues.

Using this same standard… CBC is beholden to the Liberal NDP government… to maintain its funding… not at all independent… quality… and for many very good logical reasons…
“never be done by the private media sector “

Leave our expropriated tax funds alone please… carbon taxes… GST… income tax…. Taxes on capital gains…all induced by huge government deficits…Two wrongs do not make what the government is doing… right. This is not peace order or good government… the opposite …destructive evil that destroys civilization.

Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other with you?
The only one suggesting to get rid of the CBC is you.
The rest of us reasonable tax paying citizens simply want them not to be funded by our tax dollars.
I would fully support a voluntary tax for anyone who wants to support the cbc. And that model is certainly possible in the digital age.
How much additional tax dollars would you be willing to pay to have access to the cbc? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it is the exact same amount you would be willing to pay for covid vaccines, judging by your lack of answers to bin lurking question.

I agree with most of what you say here Chuck.

Take out the "much needed" in the first line.

The CBC provides alternative to the for profit advertising driven media that has to answer to the owners and advertisers.
You can't sell ads if people don't watch.

Can't disagree with "A lot of what they do is not commercial and would never be do by the private media sector." Not commercial means no one watches.

The last line delete the "Getting rid of " leaving "The CBC weakens independent quality journalism and cuts the number of journalists covering government and issues."

Very few CBC articles are done by on location journalist. Most are editorials done from social media or near word for word government news releases.
Virtually no investigative journalism.

I look forward to every article about trans, climate change and covid getting slapped with the commie label Govt Funded Media.

Chuck should wear the same sticker across his forehead.

Thanks Elon.

We have a simple solution for you chuck. C-11 is law, so Justy can just ban twitter from Canada. LOL, go for it.

Every time you check CBC radio....it's a pro abortion/climate/trans/alphabet centered discussion. Every CALL IN same crap. They have ZERO else on their SIC minds.

I used to enjoy cbc radio. Always knew they slanted left and didn’t really care as the content of programming sold itself. Far as television it has never appealed to me. Once we were able to have more than two stations when I was a kid I gladly watched learning networks until they became trash. Far as I’m concerned cbc has went down the rubbish rabbit hole most other network tv has. Honest factual news and information programs are too boring for the goldfish attention populace to absorb. Now it is all fear, vitriol, and dummied down stuff. Far as the Canadian taxpayer floating the cbc as a supposed unbiased news source is laughable at best. Heard Trudeaus cry fest about Polivere crapping on the cbc and laughed my ass off. If someone would believe any of that tripe is a bloody moron like someone believing Tucker tells the truth always. If you want true public broadcasting the provincial networks like SCN Knowledge TVO are where it’s at. SCN ended up morphing in City Sask but still has a lot of local programming. Check out Political Blind Date, Paramedics, Dirt Farmers etc.

chuck was all over Bill C-11 to stop hate speech and misinformation from the plebs in the country, but whines when Elon does the same thing right back to Justins marxist mouthpice CBC.

Pot, kettle...hypocrisy.
