Since Arrow works for the CBC, maybe he can tell us.
Arrow's a freelancer. Arrow's worked for CBC. And CTV. And Global. And HGTV. And Life. And YTV. And umpteen production companies. Arrow has a real life.
You? Jury's out I'd say

In other words, nothing that anybody has watched. Keep up the good work.

.....so what your TRYING to imply is that no one watches the CBC? Or CTV, Global, Life, YTV, HGTV? Is that what your saying? Cause if it is... your pretty stupid.
Last time I checked, those be a lotta networks, with a lotta shows that many MANY people watch.
Maybe now is the time to get your head out of your ass.

Case in point. Any media that says anything remotely negative about the cons or the right is taken as abject proof of complete bias yet your own press is magnitudes worse.
AKA the Western Standard. It doesn't even attempt to appear as a legitamite news journal. Even when your own biased press prints an article criticizing the cons you simply state that it must have been a liberal journalist who somehow lied his way onto the staff.
When you want the truth, trust a Liberal source. When you want a laugh read a conservative rag.

That kind of attitude is exactly what the problem is. Neither the CBC nor the Western Standard are worse than the other -- they are both equally bad. They both erode the standard of journalistic objectivity and integrity to the point where people are actually winning to accept that.
They aren't alone. The typical "indie weekly" format that we find in the majority of our cities (for example, SEE Magazine and the ultra-hackish Vue Weekly in Edmonton) are typically disgustingly and shamelessly biased. Everyone's heard all the crying about SUN media (although I, for one, am not a believer).
If you need any proof that the CBC is Liberal (not liberal) biased, look no further than their election coverage. Their anchor, when conducting interviews, would allow the Liberal candidates as much time as they wanted to speak. But he would constantly cut off Conservative, NDP and Green Party Candidates -- even when the Conservative candidate was a freakin' quadriplegic! The standard of reporting offered by the CBC is exceptionally low. It's Canada's version of FOX news (and I know you wannabe liberals will hate that, but it's true).

Hwacker stupid? No. Unabashed and unapologetic? Beyond doubt. Sane? Not my call, but I respect his POV as he is consistent. Example: You will NEVER see Hwacker insist that US shows be stripped from CTV until they show something more than corner gas. If he ever did I would suspect someone has hacked his login.
