| It might be helpful to the anchor of Canada’s public network to let him know that, as of today, thousands of Canadians (619 in the last hour) are onto the Guy Gendron controfacture before he even gets a chance to “break” it. |  |
An update and a very good question;
So what does a nine month long investigation into an alleged “secret” conspiracy based on a public document cost Canadian taxpayers anyway? Anyone?
That sounds to me like a good question to ask by email or toll free call 1-866-306-4636
Ombudsman Vince Carlin
More Response – Fort McMurray Today: “CBC Story ‘Wrong’ – Stringham”;
“The CBC represented it as the Americans saying, ‘We need to do this and we need to do it now,’” Stringham added.
“The CBC was wrong; I’m quite surprised with the story, to be honest, because this (meeting) was over a year ago, remember, and it wasn’t a private meeting; it was hosted by three levels of government and there’s been subsequent ones for gas and electricity.”
The conference was part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, “a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the United States, Canada and Mexico through greater co-operation and information sharing,” according to the SPP website.
Energy security is one of its priorities, with an aim to “keep our borders closed to terrorism yet open to trade.”
since the altabaska oilsands are eroding and going down the river in leakage, isnt it our duty to clean them up and haul them away?
Baird has already cut this off at the knees by pointing out that the planning for these meetings all occurred under the previous liberal government while Dion was Environment Minister. John MacCallum was the point man and Dion claims he knew nothing about them. Guess that says more about Dion than the big bad Harper government. I don’t think Baird will allow Dion any wiggle room. Sandra
And again, the complete ignorance of the people “breaking” this ‘story’ is shocking.
And yet, it is so very, very typical.
Another interesting question is why did Borat Dion know nothing about this (or claims to, at any rate) even though he was environment minister at the time? Some former Liberal minister is going to have to wear this. The Liberals were in government until February 5th.
Interesting point that have been missed by CBC the document that is available at USEA
World Proven Oil Reserves has the Government of Alberta’s name on it not Government of Canada
I am SO tired of getting in touch with Vince Carlin, the CBC Ombudsman, who is an ex-alumnus of the CBC and the former head of Ryerson’s Journalism Department, just BTW.
But I think I get it: In order to keep ol’ Vince in business and to make work for some other employees’ kids, the CBC purposely misrepresents and distorts news items.
That way, Mr. Carlin and his helpers will never be out of work…cash for life…which is such a nice thought for them, except that we’re paying for it…for life…unless PMSH does something about this oversized, crashing-through-the-jungle-on-a-rampage, publicly funded broadcaster.
Please, Mr. Harper, HELP US!!
Don Cherry should be appointed President of the CBC. That should make the shreiking harpees swallow their tongues during lunch hour.
Peter Mansbridge? Set up a business with Warren Kinsella and you could spend quality time checking out each other’s hairlines.
I get a laugh out of Partisan Lieberals who chide the CPC for grinding their axe on liberal corruption in government yet at the same time they take every opportunity to keep the old “secret agenda” and “alberta links to Harper” saws alive.
Gee, they’re expanding oilsand operations…more demand, more expansion of the Alberta patch, pretty simple arithmatic.
I can see how Alberta profits would give some foamy mouthed subsidy addicted Quebec bolshevick a bad case of blue balls….but drop the secret Harper agenda crap until you’ve made public your own secret agenda.
I doubt very much that Dion didn’t know about it. Either way, he can’t get out of the responsibility, because if he didn’t know about it, then why didn’t he???
I happened across Jim Travers column in the Torono Star today…his first line: “OTTAWA – For most of us, ethics begins with doing what’s right and telling the truth. For Stephen Harper, they often end in a conundrum.”
You’ve got to be kidding. Would he ever write something like this about the liberals, or even himself???
Does Jim Travers really believe that he’s in the category of people who do what’s right, as in unbiased journalistic skills???
look at that big error in the Alberta Reserve report. projected alberta production of 4 thousand bbls per day not 4 million like it should be. conspiracy not to show the truth.!!!
critics say!!!
Kitchner Conservative the USEA would have it correct since natural resources are a provincial domain in Canada. Some people east of Saskatchewan are very good at forgetting that.
WL Mackenzie Redux:
Spot on, this would be known as “NEP Part Deux”.
Or is that “NEP Part Dion”?
And of course don’t forget that the “EVIL Harper” hails from the Calgary oilpatch notwithstanding him growing up in the GTA.
It’s all a massive Alberta energy conspiracy.
This is the old tired “pit region against region” Liberal pre-election spin that has worked so wonderful for years; but won’t anymore, because the ‘unwashed masses’ are on to them once again.
Someone should offer Stephan Dion a plate of camembert cheese and glass of wine as he watches the great Canadian energy basketball game.
Reminds me of one of my son’s coaches t-shirts which stated:
“Swoosh, the last sound you hear before you come in second place.”
Im just wondering about why the feds were even involved other than for an export permit.
Reminds me of a time about 15 years ago, I was officed in the same building as the federal department of energy. Rode up the elevator with Roland Priddle and some senior civil servant broad. She was ragging on about how energy developement in Canada shouldnt be determined by “a bunch of farmers elected in Alberta”, Roland was stoic.
apparently democracy doesnt mean anything to senior federal civil servants either.
I had this posted on another thread but bring it up again.
I sent an e-mail to the CBC Ombudsman yesterday and in it I included a point that Peter Mansbridge is beginning to look like a fool as the news anchor as he sets up these poorly done reports.
I’ve always had a measure of respect for him as a journalist, but I’m beginning to feel sorry for him as his credibility takes a hit every time the CBC gets caught doing shoddy work (and it has been too frequent lately).
Peter Manbridge and the cbc are canada’s answer to Dan Rather, Jason Blair and a few others known for their published phoney stories.
…don’t know why everyone is getting in a huff…to the great whitewashed masses in Canada, this is breaking news.
Zombie Liberal voters can’t think for themselves.
Sandra said: “the planning for these meetings all occurred under the previous liberal government while Dion was Environment Minister. John MacCallum was the point man and Dion claims he knew nothing about them. Guess that says more about Dion than the big bad Harper government.”
Correct. I remember Martin coming to Alberta and visiting the oil sands and making a big public photo op out of the fact “HIS” government was working with Alberta to expand the Oil sands output/operations with investment and grants. ( those of us Albertans who are hip to Martin’s Asia-Powercor business connections knew that the only reason Dithers would be happy to expand an Alberta oil patch project was if his Powercor pals in China got cut in for a piece of the action…and they did… with a big Liberal PMO sanctioned Chinese investment in Oilsands output)
When Martin sent Borat Dion out to Alberta to mine votes and give pre election Ottawa happy-face talks, and run down the Alberta separation party, he alluded to “HIS” governments commitment to expand the tarsands. Borat Dion was up to his neck in knowledge of Liberal expansion of the sands projects….now he tries a Sgt.(I know Nut-tink!…Nut-tink!!”) Schultz act like aamartin did about the brown envelopes and untendered exorbidant contracts to his Carlisle Group handlers.
Ya sure Stephanie….and the check is in the mail and I promise to use a rubber!!
Hmmmmmm and this CBC hatchet job will make 3 patently false claims to link this alleged eco abomination to Harper. They have information to prove their statements are poorly researched and false….but they will run it anyway….I hope heads roll this time…and Dion wears a great big fresh steaming cow pie in his puss for lying about Liberal involvement in this.
I think this calls for a letter to the REAL CBC “ombudsman” …Bev Oda and the Post 😉
Have a look at Cherniak`s blog…he is trying to spin it. Typical Librano!
and of course the Brotherhood of Journalists will squelch this story being explored on any other MSM outlets.
After all there is honor among thieves & liars.
Where is the CTV expose ? Where is Jane “Reportorette Extraordinaire” Tabor with a breathless report on “Huge CBC Fraud scheme exposed by the Blogosphere”
Inquiring minds want to know . . . .
Right – Cherniak is having trouble recently, trying to deal with the Liberals. He’s tied himself into knots.
He’s trying to justify Dion’s ‘shadow cabinet’, which he first denied was a ‘shadow cabinet’, and is now trying to justify Dion’s including everyone and their great aunt in some form of authority – which actually means that no-one has any authority. Other than Dion.
With regard to the Gendron Report – he’s trying to say that it’s irrelevant to hold meetings (eg, the Liberals were the ones holding the meeting); what matters is what’s put into action – and that’s the Conservatives. But why would the Liberals, pure-hearted as they are, even bother to have a meeting unless for some result?
And second – what is wrong with increasing oil production?
By the way, with regard to CO2 emissions and/or ‘global warming’ – SCIENCE, the journal, has a few neat articles on the Paleocene- Eocene phase of global warming, which began about 55 millions years ago. Oh – there weren’t any humans around then?
There’s one article in Science Vol 314 Dec 8- which says that the causes of the warming and the production of CO2 are uncertain – and rejects the common ‘methane hydrate from warming ice’ or volcanic eruptions theme.
The Dec 22 issue outlines a ‘heatbeat’ model of climate change, based on orbital variations around the sun which affects the carbon cycle and glacial events. This cycle model is for a half million year set of statistics. Humans emerged about 100,000 years ago. And industrialism only about 200 years ago.
There’s another in Vol 315, Jan 5 – about thermal adaptation – which discusses how biological systems adapt.
My point is not to inundate with specialist data but to suggest that the issue of climate change is complex. It is not linear (Humans Cause Climate Change)or reductionist (Humans/Climate Change). It is multifaceted, complex and we can’t presume, in our arrogance, that we humans can control the universe. Or climate change.
Pollution? Most certainly we can do something, a great deal, about that. That includes cleaning up our lakes (Harper has new laws on that); cleaning up rivers, cleaning up emissions from cars, factories, on and on and on. We can do a great deal on that.
But carbon, methane and other emissions and their interactions are not something completely in our control.
We can do research on changing our reliance on fossil fuels to some other form of energy. We aren’t going to be able to reduce our requirement for energy. In fact, our requirements, as the global population increases and as the mode of life moves from the rural to the urban, from the peasant to the city – our requirements for energy are going to drastically increase. Research takes time. Years and years and years.
We have to permit this and reject the ‘hubris’ of thinking that we can control everything, as Masters of the Machine. The universe isn’t a machine.
I don’t worry too much about Petie and his little program. Like me, no one watches it.
http://3w.bbm.ca/en/national_archive.html (replace the 3w) lists the top 30 television programs for each week in Canada. Petie made the list 15 times in 2006 by my count – all in the bottom half of the list.
Imagine that – 1530 chances (the week of August 7-13 is missing) and only 15 hits. CTV and Global outscore CBC every week. No contest. Especially in the news department. Canada doesn’t like Petie.
CBC’s Frosty the Snowman was one program that blew Petie right off the list – during the week of December 11 – 17, coming in at number 22. What a blow – beaten by a snowman, and an imaginary one at that. And Petie and The National thought they held the market rights to imaginary.
There are many weeks where CBC does not show up at all in the Top 30 – CTV and Global took them right out. And there are many other weeks when they are saved from total elimination only by a sports program – with Hockey Night in Canada leading that list.
Now don’t you feel better about the CBC? I know – why are we paying $1.2 billion for something no one watches?
Now, now – feel sorry for Petie. Can you imagine what it must feel like to speak to the cameras knowing that you are all alone and only talking to television screens glued to another channel?
No one cares.
Life at CBC is sooooo lonely.
They … meaning the MSM have already started the “were tired of hearing whos fault it is” so they can lambast Barid into owning this problem.
This is Dions mess and the Canadian people need to understand who made the freakin mess. Unreal.
Thanks Peter Mansbrige. You have just justified my reasoning never to watch CBC news … All I have to do is take what I believe, turn it upside down and backwards and thats what the CBC will report.
‘batb:
We got “in touch” with Vince the Ombudsman when we were peed off with Lawand and at least we got her out of sight!
Now we may still have her on the payroll but at least we aren’t reminded of it on Don Newman’s Political Views Show.
I’ve been following with interest the commentary at SDA and CBCWatch on Guy Gendrons documentary. I just wanted to make some facts known regarding the following quote from Mr. Gendron’s documentary:
“They discovered that as of the day following the election Steven Harper last January, the Canadian government agreed to multiply by five from here 2015 the extraction of the oil of bituminous sands.”
However when you look at the executive summary for the Oil Sands Expert Group Worshop held in Houston on January 24,25 2006 :
http://www.fossil.energy.gov/programs/oilgas/publications/oilgas_generalpubs/oilsands_spp_report.pdf
You will find that Mr. Harper had not in fact set up the meeting in the wee-hours after his election victory on January 23’rd 2006, but rather it was initiated by PM Martin in March 2005 as per this quote from page 4
“President Bush, Prime Minister Martin and President Fox officially announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North American (SPP) agreement in March 2005. The energy activities of the SPP encompass a trilateral effort among Mexico, the United States and Canada, to create a sustainable energy economy for North America. “
Furthermore with regard to the Canadian Government agreeing to multiplying production five-fold to 5 million barrels per day by 2015, the above noted executive summary actually states:
“It will be necessary to look at options and plan for a smooth transition towards bitumen production that could be as high as 5 million barrels per day as was envisioned by the Oil Sands Technology Roadmap.”
The Oil Sands Technology roadmap is available here and presumably predates the Hosuton workshop: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/es/etb/cetc/combustion/cctrm/pdfs/ostrm_draft_agenda.pdf
The roadmap was developed by Federal government, Alberta government, research and industry representatives, including Natural Resources Canada, Alberta Research Council, National Centre for Upgrading Technology and Syncrude.
In this Canadian developed roadmap (page 4) you will see that the stated goal is “5 million barrels daily by 2030”, and this will be achieved through
• ‘GHG neutral’ industry in a competitive and cost effective environment
• Kick the natural gas habit – year 2030 NG use at or lower than year 2000 consumption
I wrote the Ombudsman, copying my MP, a few minutes ago. This is not fair and unbiased reporting by the taxpayer-supported CBC. It is my wish that the government either privatize the CBC, or dismantle it, if it is not going to be an unbiased service to ALL Canadians.
The clueless Citoyen Dion:
“Don’t know, wasn’t there, Dion says”
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=254e12c6-b309-431f-91e0-43cc34291a7a
‘Liberal leader Stephane Dion says he knew nothing about a plan to massively expand production in the Alberta oilsands to meet the demand in the U.S. even though discussions on speeding up the regulatory review process were launched by former prime minister Paul Martin when Mr. Dion was the environment minister.
The plan — made public by a joint committee of government experts from Natural Resources Canada and the U.S. Department of Energy who met in Houston, on Jan. 23-24, 2006, before Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Tory government was sworn in — encouraged decision-makers “to streamline the regulatory approval process,” with a “one-stop-shop” for project proposals and facilitate a “fivefold” expansion of oil production in Alberta from one million to five million barrels a day.
The committee was set up under the Security and Prosperity Partnership between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, which scheduled the talks months earlier.
“This meeting, if it took place, I wasn’t aware [of it]. Certainly not,” Mr. Dion said at a news conference. “It’s for sure that there are always discussions with the Americans on a number of topics, but I didn’t receive a specific plan to multiply the use of the oilsands by five, or by two or three. Never as minister of environment did [this type of recommendation] arrive on my desk…’

If the liberals where in power the story would have been… Martin gets USA off mideast oil, and gets them to invest in Canada. Liberal save the earth.
But now that it’s the Conservatives in power(nevermind this ws set up by the libs, facts who needs them) there is some secret agenda. This is the same BS with Afghanistan. The media did not give a flying turkey about it intill Harper was elected. Now they have tried to turn it into Iraq to link Harper with Bush.
I’m just sick of our media so much. Everytime I see there arrogant faces on TV telling me how bad the Conservatives are I want to jump through the TV.
The whole problem could be that the CBC doesn’t have fast enough computers to view the pdf file. I just tried to download the pdf at:
http://www.usea.org/OilShales/Ekelund.pdf
and was greeted by a blank screen. I glanced away for a while and saw a very slowly developing image which, after a minute or so, was a map of the oil sands region. And this is on a dual processor 1.7 GHz machine! Whoever came up with the PDF should look for work in some other area. Wouldn’t surprise me if the CBC used this as an excuse to demand more funding.
“‘Liberal leader Stephane Dion says he knew nothing about a plan to massively expand production in the Alberta oilsands to meet the demand in the U.S. even though discussions on speeding up the regulatory review process were launched by former prime minister Paul Martin when Mr. Dion was the environment minister.”
So now I wonder if Citoyen Dion will still claim his infamous Project Green” would allow Canada to meet the Kyoto obligations (note: not emission reduction targets, just “obligations” = buying hot air credits).
What else didn’t he know about ?? What else did Mr. Dithers NOT tell his Minister of the Environment about ??
More ammo for Minister Baird . . . “sure the Liberal environment plan was going to work. Ya, Un Huh, Right.”
Does anyone doubt that the liberals are completely absorbed with winning the next election so they molest Alberta’s economy?
I hope we can prevent anything like this from ever happening to the point of a violent revolt against these communist elitist pigs.
It happen all over the world … why not here?
Franks Zappa said “It can’t happen here” but he was tongue in cheek as any Zappa fan would know.
Here is a copy of my e-mail to Vince Carlin.
Dear Mr. Carlin,
Please provide me with the cost of the nine month investigation by Mr. Guy Gendron into a “secret” meeting held in Houston, Texas on January, 24/25 2006.
It may come as a surprise to this “Investigative Reporter” that the report on that meeting has been in the public domain for months. This is a perfect example of how my tax dollars are wasted to forward an agenda by the CBC to re-elect the Liebranos.
Incidentally, I would like to inform you that at the time of the planning and holding of this so called secret meeting that the Liebranos were still the government and I believe Mr. Dion was the Environment Minister.
This is another blatant example of how the CBC is deliberately misleading its viewers with false and fabricated stories.
Sincerely,
CBCpravda should be playing this with the ominous music in the background , usually reserved for anything to do with the USA.
and those little semi 3D pictures where they highlight certain people and bring them forward out the background, say a crowd of 10 and they move Harper and Bush out whilst increasing the strings section on the orchestra.
maybe add in the strings from the shower scene in “Psycho”
CBC…how does that song go?
“blinded by the light”
Wonder if Petey Mansbridge is starting to feel like he’s preaching to empty pews? The Gospel according to CBC seems to be losing favor as a nightly habit.
Nothing’s changing though, they’re just hanging in, working on the next Liberal campaign, getting ready to dish the dirt, collecting their paychecks from all of us.
Wonder if they will report on the fact that Mr. Khan has been cleared of any wrong doing in his riding association’s fund raising?
Reminds me of the sponsorship Scandle.
Golf Balls Chretien I did not know
Didders Martin I did not know
Now on this Issue
Dion I did not know
It appears that alot in the Lib party have a short memory or a memory mediacl problem.
Have you seen the photo of the woman/animal found in the jungle, after 19 years. That is what all the envirowackos is urging for all humans to live and look like.
Dion has so many committees etc now to give advice to him. Someone should inform him a camel was designed by a committee.
a little ot: the PM made announcements today on energy with 1.5 billion in spending, So where on the CBC.ca is it ?? Its in there forum not a news item. On CTV.ca where do you find this major annoucement, buried in the business section.
I suspect that these enviriomental announcements must be for the good as the MSM has buruied them.
It is important that we send complaints to Tony Burman, Editor in Chief, CBC News and to the CBC Ombudsman, Vince Carlin. I realize you will get no answer or a defensive response but we must keep the pressure up.
ET, it appears to me that you don’t believe that we should be taking any steps that are even remotely painful to combat climate change. But you said this morning “when you are dealing with an electorate caught in the grips of a religious fervour (the Kyoto Religion of global warming), and a government is dependent on that electorate, then, you have no choice but to cater to their whims”
By being “dependent on” do you mean “wanting votes from”? Like votes to stay in power? If Stéphane Dion chooses not to continue fighting over dual citizenship, you offer it as proof that he’ll do anything to gain power. Proof. Well, anyone with kids knows that you either choose your fights or exhaust yourself locking antlers on every trifling issue.
So, on this pesky matter of climate change, Stephen Harper has decided to pretend that he is a believer? How much is this charade going to cost Canadians? Is that okay with you?
Or would you rather argue that he really does believe?
bryanr
CBCpravda has it up now about
1.5 billion.
Since Borat Dions liberals claim its a rehash of their plan we can call it “Cultural Learnings of Alberta for the Glorious Benefit of Canuckistan”
crabgrass – I certainly hope that Harper doesn’t believe that climate change is due primarily to anthropogenic (human) causes. That would be unscientific.
That he believes in climate change would be scientific – any even brief review of the planet since its BigBang origin shows that the climate changes. Constantly..from the precambrian, to cambrian through the paleozoic, mesozoic, and now, cenozoic. The climate is constantly changing; it cools; it warms. After all, 65 million years ago, Greenland was – green.
The issue is – what causes climate change. And scientists don’t know the causes of either warming or cooling – whether it’s solar forces, volcanic action, supernova, impact events; they know these occur; they aren’t certain of the full effects, their relation etc.
But to consider that climate change is caused solely by man – that’s ridiculous. And to consider that man can control climate change? That’s even more ridiculous. How, out of curiousity, are you going to control the solar forces?
With Stephane Dion – yes, his agenda is only about power. He doesn’t have a single policy that is not geared to a specific whim of an interest group. His dual citizenship is a problem, and he says he would do ‘the right thing’ not for the principle of it, but only to gain power. Why wouldn’t he renounce his French citizenship because it was the right action?
There’s no comparison with Harper’s acknowledging a population trapped in a religious fervour, the Kyoto religion. What’s the difference? He knows that Canada can’t do anything to reduce global warming, so, he’s not moving into endorsing sending our money overseas via Kyoto. He’s going to deal with pollution (that’s not warming), clean air, clean up the great lakes, alternate energy sources, ie, ‘bit by bit’ actions on pollution. You may think that cleaning up the great lakes is a charade, that research on alternate energy is a charade – but, that’s your problem.
Since it’s only taken forty years to get oilsands development up to a million bpd, and that’s with a system that at one time promoted tradespeople, not liberal arts degrees, I would estimate that we should hit the five million bpd sometime around my one hundred and thirtieth birthday, providing industry moves at twice it’s previous pace. Yup 2085 sounds about right. And here I thought I was going to get to retire sometime soon. Darn it all anyway.
Seeing how Martin and the Liberals set up these meetings,i think i’ll go ask Cherniak what would have happened if the Liberal’s had won the 2006 election.
Not that he’ll post it>Being the loser he is when proven wrong with factual information he censors those posts.
Liz J., you’re right. Public pressure put Christina Lawand where the sun don’t shine, so I guess I’ll have to write that letter, with a cc to Tony Burman. (Say, he hasn’t been around for awhile, has he?)
‘Thing is: Vince Carlin still owes me an explanation for a complaint I made in August. After 4 months, I finally heard a defence from the producer of the show about which I had some concerns, a defence which was, as I already knew it would be, totally unacceptable.
I wrote back to Mr. Carlin, as per the process to say the producer’s reasoning was unacceptable, which means he has to look deeper into the issue and get back to me. I’m still waiting.
It’s almost February…sometimes it’s hard not to grit your teeth and say, “Dammit to Hell.”
What everybody must understand about the CBC is that it is now in a fight for it’s life … because if Harper wins a majority government they believe he will transform the CBC into a PBS-style network … which would mean an end to their Billion $$$ anal subsidy.
In the next election, CBC will blatantly and overtly attack the Conservatives because they really have nothing to lose. If the Dion Liberals even win a minority government, the CBC will be immune from criticism .. but if the Harper Conservatives win that will mean the end of the CBC as we know it.
The CBC will be promoting the Dion Liberals to a max from now to the next election .. and nobody can do anything about it because the CBC is an entity unto itself … a Beast …!
I just happy that so many people are waking up to the fraud that CBC continues to foist on the public….keep those cards and letters coming folks!
Really! 🙂
I read that 17 riding associations had been de-listed for not filing the proper reports. Most of them were liberal and green. Not one Conservative riding de-listed. Excuse was this need for reporting come in after the 1.75/vote come in, and was not needed before. Poor volunteers are learning how to fill out the paper work. Khan’s report not made public yet and libs screaming. Even newman asked, does said report exist. Yes, it was written in arabic on a biodegradable napkin, and it evapaorated before translation. Now, libs are you satisfied. Notice how newman has started to interrupt most of his guests lately, before they can tell him the truth. Giggles and Craig are doing the same thing more often. If I was a conservative supporter I would refuse to appear on their shows with any other party hack.
Wow! I just watched the presentation at:
http://www.cbc.ca/mrl3/8752/vsu/wmv-hi/gendron-oilsands070117.wmv
I am sensitive to the charges of CBC bias. Although I rarely watch the station – frankly, the pedantic nature of the presentations generally force me to roll my eyes and get that “oh, for gawd’s sake” look on my face.
While interested in charges of bias, I’ve not always been completely convinced – I mean, we all have our biases, don’t we? Sure, CBC maybe more than other Canadian broadcasters but hey, most of the news they push is discounted because of their reputation. Likewise, any other news source. We know their bias and discount the stories accordingly.
This, however, takes the cake. It is completely unfair. It is not a true presentation of the facts. It is just plain dishonest. It is the worst case of biased journalism I have ever seen.
PS – I also just sent this to Tony Burman.
The irony of this…CBC ratings will be up tonight while we wait on the edge of our seats for Petey to respond, or retract,fudge or fluff it up, or at least mention SDA…Any bets?
Does he work on Friday evenings???
