  1. The same fate would await the CBC the day after we stopped funding it. “Top heavy” doesn’t begin to describe that dumping ground for otherwise unemployable people.

    1. Roughly 70% of CBC revenue comes from the government. Without that, the CBC would instantly implode.

    2. The CBC will not die on its own given the way it is structuted. The CBC is cancerous needs to be put down.

  2. Two things that made me laugh. #1 they promised $100 million in revenue, hired 300 people and delivered $3 million in revenue. Shit I’ve made more than that with 9 people and I was over-staffed. #2 they aren’t paying a severance and health insurance is being cancelled even though the top guy (rich like crazy) donated his last 2 weeks of salary (lunch money) toward the cause. Listening to the staff being quoted on what happened, I’m surprised these people can even, like, write, like, you know?

  3. Being successful on the internet means being nimble and low-cost, like PJ Media. We are the little mammals scurrying under giant dinosaurs while the Chicxulub asteroid hurtles toward the Earth. With a little help, we will survive the Extinction Level Event now wiping out one media giant after another.

    Or they could become just another small dead animal.

  4. “CEO and founder Jimmy Finkelstein promised investors … ”

    Something about that name makes me laugh. It’s as if it crawled off the pages of an old Mad magazine. I’d never invest with guys named Jimmy Finklestein or Billy Kaputnik.

    1. Billy Kaputnick? Is that Roger’s brother ?

      I’d add Joe Fonebone and Fester Bestertester to the list.

  5. I don’t get it. On my iPhone, all I have is an image of a meteor strike. Who / what are we talking about ?

  6. l think it better to privatize the thing, that way if it flies, it was supposed to if it doesnt, proof of the pudding. axe it outright and there will always be resentment in the havemind.

    1. Not here in Halifax, beautiful very valuable property. Turn it into condos. Rosie place, has a nice ring to it. Maybe she could have a reserved place to panhandle.

      1. Stop – you’re both right! Turn it into condos. Then, force the owners to house the homeless!

  7. cbc should be a subscription service. You want to watch/listen – you pay. The rest of us who don’t want to watch/listen shouldn’t have to pay.

    1. True, but you’re thinking of the free market way and not the communist way. Which do most of us think Juthtin is?

  8. “We are the little mammals scurrying under giant dinosaurs while the Chicxulub asteroid hurtles toward the Earth.”

    This metaphor reads like a shout out to Kate.

    These guys weren’t waiting for the meteor, they just self immolated.

    My deep impact wish is for the social media and news media oligarchs to suffer for their systematic censorships which make the book burnings of the Third Reich look like a single match.
