CBC promoting C36

Recommended Posts

cbc should already know this is nonsense. Kady did all the articles and the research and the twitter feeds following this, it is incredible that a radio show program wouldn't have done basic research on their own site.

It's 21st century journalism (I can't even call it journalism with a straight face anymore) in a nutshell, isn't it? The mainstream news media has become a totally ridiculous joke in this modern era. The great journalists of the past must be rolling over in their graves. Honestly, if we look at history, does all of this remind anybody of our studies of Nazi Germany, circa 1936? The government spewing propaganda and the media jumping in with both feet like puppets?

I'm a firearms owner....I expect vilification and inaccuracy from the media.

 

The media is simply that...media, not news, not investigative reporting, simply spin doctors, saying things that will get them points, and points on the rating scale does not require real facts...

The CBC used to be an independent voice at one time but now it's just a propaganda outlet for the government. Seriously, how many guys here are interested in teens? I was just with an early 20s lady and she still hadn't learned to enjoy oral. 30s is the sweet spot for me! :D

Being the control freak Stephen Harper is, and controlling the purse strings for the CBC, they've come to toe his line. I'm disappointed in the big CBC names I used to admire.

It was real lazy journalism at it's worst.

A rehash of Joy Smith's Senate speaking points dressed up as "a new study".

CBC isn't even trying anymore, so disappointing because they used to be very good.

It'd be interesting to dig into the ownership of all Canadian media reporting on C-36, to see who really owns them and who influences them. I looked into Black Press, who owns many newspapers in BC/AB/USA, and they are owned and supported by conservative, evangelical Christians. Escorts haven't been allowed to post online ads in their classifieds (BCclassified.com) since they began operating online, although they still allow non-explicit print ads afaik. Expect them to clamp down heavily when the new law comes into effect.

They copy press releases by various people, and call that news. except the 'news' is worded exactly the same in all the different papers.

I thought Harper and his cronies had some kind of deal going on with CBC earlier this year? I remember there was a big "stink on" about it, but I don't recall what happened. I'm not one for news or media on mainstream television at all. I just watch what I want to via recommendation from friends and colleagues and this bill and the FIPA deal with China is all I've been taking note of. I figure if the world is going to end, someone will FB me lol
