cinelli 22184 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Last thing You want to hear, 5am news repeating all the nonsense. Paraphrasing:a new study says girls as young as 13 are recruited in the thousands, and the handlers make 280k a year off each of them. All a rehash of the Joy Smith melodrama in her Senate presentation last week wrapped up as new. I expect better from the CBC. They should not be regurgitating this nonsense! 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacectryguy 12547 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 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? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalsmith 2983 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 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...

oldblueeyez 15475 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited October 15, 2014 by oldblueeyez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Sounds like censorship at its finest! I'm sure the Cons have their hands in CBC as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldblueeyez 15475 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinelli 22184 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 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. Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBC isn't even trying anymore, so disappointing because they used to be very good. Posted via Mobile Device 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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... They copy press releases by various people, and call that news. except the 'news' is worded exactly the same in all the different papers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirtingmilf 1982 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
