The CBC apology is making the rounds

Uncategorized 8 Comments

Many bloggers are getting an email from the CBC today. Here is a portion of it:

In your message you cited an e-mail sent out by a CBC News associate producer working on a news item about the federal election.
When CBC News management became aware of the e-mail in question, they looked into the matter and concluded that this action was indeed a breach of CBC�s Journalistic Standards and Practices – specifically issues pertaining to the appearance of partiality or perceptions of partiality in all stages of story production. As a result of this conclusion, disciplinary measures have now been taken.

This was in response to an email campaign to complain about a CBC producer looking for voters who were “freaked out” scared of the Conservatives, and so switching their votes to the Liberals.
“Freaked out” — her words.
Needless to say, she wasn’t looking for people disgusted with Liberal Party corruption.
Disciplinary measures? We don’t know the details, and frankly, maybe it’s not our business. But let’s hope it’s more than “Don’t get caught next time!”

  1. Angry supplies a list of people to complain to; fat lot of good that will do – they all appear to be liberals or liberal appointees.

  3. I wonder what kind of “deal” Paul Martin made with the CBC to get them back on air just in time to provide “fair and balanced” coverage of the election.

  4. Check out this Liberal Interview gone bad…
    That is too funny… Wonder if we will see that rebroadcast 🙂

  8. Yeah, the “disciplinary measure” will be to have this person coordinate one of CBC’s inane “town hall” meetings.
