The CBC is an evil entity that is complicit in destroying western civilization. It is simply impossible for a publicly-funded broadcaster to not advance a socialist-driven agenda within their broadcastings.

These are the people who know what news, views and programming are good for us.

The diatribe on the "official" CBC blog opens the barrage with the illiterate "In case your not aware of the history...". How about "you're not aware..."? If that is the low standard of journalistic expression, then no wonder the CBC is such a national disaster. I know where the government can quickly save $1.2 billion and we'd (not 'weed' CBC) only lose "Little Mosque on the Prairie" from our culture.

Never heard of the BLog. Glad now I never did.
Missed the round up at Little Green Horse apples as well.

Further down in that blog is this piece: CBC News Boss Responds to Stursberg’s Departure: “Nothing Changes”

Here's the comment I left:

The tagline of "Nothing Changes" associated with CBC News has an entirely different meaning for me, and not one that Ms. McGuire intended. :-(

Revnant Dream, you're not alone in being ignorant of the blog and its ignorance. I feel cleaner, having missed the CBC insider muck and spelling atrocities.

So they are saying that they are shutting down a blog, where staff have previously went tto perform self abuse?

didn't their mothers ever tell them that it would make them go blind?

I read the whole list of comments and they said virtually nothing. So glad that I missed most of it.

Too bad that CBC Radio is getting the short end of the stick. I'm a rural guy, pretty well always have been, and CBC Radio is often the only link to the news that's available. Listening to election results in the bush on a portable comes to mind. Would be neat to see CBC Radio separate from CBC TV, separate budget and all. Radio is needed, TV is a waste.

I watched half-an-hour or so of CBC news for the first time in months a few days ago (I was sewing a some buttons). I learned: When a Muslim terrorist plot is thwarted the important story is how worried Muslims are about a "backlash"; a new report on the Gun Registry shows that it's a good thing, cops like it, and; Steven Harper only travels around Canada for cynical photo opportunities.

Just abolish the stupid thing. Who needs it?

“And it started to get creepy. It became consumed by Jian Ghomeshi, George Stroumboulopoulos and Tod Maffin. All three were continuously mocked.”

So what, are the three some kind of exempted from being mocked?
The way it actually is, there should be more mocking.

“As was the entire CBC, with the exception of a handful of female executives, whom they seemed to love.”

Obviously the mocker knows who the mockee should be.

“It stumbled along, getting more infantile and vicious, until eventually it died.”

That sounds much like the way CEE BEE CEE is going.

The cbc costs me about $30.00 a year , compared to about $800.00 a year to keep rural conservative welfare bums down on the farm.
So yeah, abolish the cbc.... right after the last freeloadin' plow jockey is thrown off the gravy train.

Phil @ 10:41PM, I always enjoy the comic relief those of your ilk provide me with: those who defend and deny the CBC's left-lib bias and yet who, paradoxically, identify themselves through their comments as being lib-left.

Funny, if the CBC wasn't bias, there wouldn't be such a polarization between those who defend it and those who point out its bias and where that criticism comes from on the political spectrum.

Most certainly, if we lived in some bizarro world and the CBC was right-wing, I, being on the right myself, wouldn't be sitting here defending it. Not that such a broadcaster wouldn't be a good thing to balance things off against the rest of the MSM, but not with taxpayers' dollars.

The fact that you -- and those of your ilk -- continue to defend the CBC and its taxpayer financing in the face of absolute and overwhelming evidence of its left-lib bias doesn't exactly paint you as a moral and upstanding individual.

When can we expect a CBC news anchor to stand up, live on air, and take off the mic and say, "I'm not going to be a party to this sham anymore"? Considering they only hire reporters whose politics are like Phil's, that's not likely to happen any time soon.

Ethics takes a back seat to promoting their liberal agenda.

A figure of 5% market share is regularly thrown out as CBC's portion of the market. Although I haven't watched CBC TV for years I do listen to radio while driving. The demographic spells doom for the CBC as I know my children never listen or watch it. AS the cost of health care and retirement benefits descend upon the population left wing fluff like the CBC will be gone!
