The CBC releases its interim report on bias/balance.
Report here.
Executive summary here.
A couple of quick thoughts. The report does NOT include CBC's massive coverage of the prorogation issue in the report (even though it falls right in the middle of the events used for the report) and they totally gloss over 'climategate' which the CBC did not even mention at all for days after it became known. They do however include coverage of the PM visiting India and China ( of course these were good news stories which conveniently balances the other crap) and the CBC praises it own coverage of H1N1 (on which Mark Sakamoto agrees) and seems to think that diversity in who reads the news is just as important as the news itself.
More to come...
Everyone has an opinion, but only some are right. Don't patronize or try to spin me, it won't end well.
Ardvark
Tired of undelivered big promises and big government in general. Even more tired of being treated as an idiot by the spin artists found at all levels of government.
What they are saying about Alberta Ardvark
Scott Reid: "you got me wonderboy"
Adam Goldenberg: "You're too kind."
BigCityLib one of their "saner supporters"
Dan Gardner: "Are you offering to promote my books for me? No? Then shaddup."
LibArtsAndMinds: "You're smarter than this."
Brent Butt: "Yes. You are right. I am wrong. I feel shame."
Frank Graves 1: "Okay ! this is the second time you got me with careless tweeting . And once again I defer to your catch. Good one!" 2. "Sheesh! are you available as a real time editor?"

This canadian government were the first to ever to visit South Korea and to speak at the assembly. No pride or heavy news on this.
OBAMA speaks and CBC is right there to broadcast the news.
CBC uses our money for their own ' boondoggle.
Scrap the CBC
Scrap the CBC and use the building for 'homeless' people.
put it to a vote for all Canadians to decide on how their money's spent. Will it be CBC or Healthcare?
scrap the communist broadcast commune (cbc) and save a billion dollars per year! tired of my tax money used by leftist losers to push their odumbo agenda! only on cbc could a show like the hour survive longer than one miserable, gushing over odumbo/michael moore/kevin smith hour! GO FOX!!
The CBC no longer fulfills its mandate. It no longer serves the purpose for which it was intended and is redundant. Better to end its existence and give the money to an institution that still does fulfill it's mandate - the Coast Guard. Woefully underfunded and far more useful than a bunch of Toronto journalists and old communists.
Government dollars should not go to fund direct competition to private business'.
So simple yet...........
Surprise, surprise! A giant bureaucracy appoints individuals to assess objectivity. They would say that, wouldn't they? Just like Ombudsman Vince Carlin.
The old Soviet Politburo held elections for leader, but only one person ever was chosen.
A true examination would involve people from far outside the CBC realm of onfluence.
Getting CBC to admit to the simple fact that biases do exist within their organization would be nothing short of a miracle.
