Lack of Journalistic Integrity in the CBC

Gee I'd love to substantiate more, but anyone with a functioning intellect can see I pretty much did in a single sentence.

No, herb you offered the idea that a thing you don't like becomes an insult just by you naming it.

I do understand that's the same thing as testimony from the Burning Bush in Progworld but in the real world we require more.

Substantiation would look something more like what I offered on page one.

Bias and Lack of Journalistic integrity in the CBC

It’s said that the most egregious form of media bias, is a bias of omission. We'll get to that and other dirty tricks, but let's start here:

CBC Bias to Liberals

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting claims the Liberals double-crossed the CBC after promising lots of dough in the 1997 election. Instead -

“During the last seven years, Prime Minister Chrétien’s government has loaded up the CBC’s Board of Directors with partisan appointments whose key credential seems to be the Liberal membership card in their wallets. “

I don't think this is unique to the CBC. All media shows bias now, I suspect a lot of the problem is there are only 5 or 6 major media players controlling all the media outlets whereas there used to 400 or 500 more independent outlets. So instead of 500 different takes on a story, we are left with 5.

The other part of the issue with media is that every piece seems to need an editorial take on it, this obviously has lead to the injection of opinion into the news. Which has obviously led to the end of objectivity in the media.

The only way to fix this problem is to break up the big media conglomerates and take everyone's opinion out of the media, an idea easier said than done.

Maxime Bernier is furious after being interviewed by the CBC — and he may have a point

Basically, CBC interviewer Wendy Mesley was peppering Maxime Bernier with a barrage of "When did you stop beating your wife?" style, loaded questions about a non-existent connection to the Koch Brothers.
