Thanks to you and the independent journalists who bring us the other side of the story. Or the story itself. I don’t know where we’d be without you. We followed CBC for twenty years, then became disenchanted with them because of their liberal bias. We no longer have anything to do with them except when they pop up on X. As it stands, when I mention certain issues to my CBC-watching friends, they haven’t heard about them. They chalk this up to the fact that I listen to those ‘rightwing nut jobs’. It’s as if we live in different universes.
I don't know how we are going to deal with this Kamloops grave error problem. The media now needs to get this right and own its mistakes. Frances Widdowson is a genuine Canadian hero discussing all this, demanding truth and reason.
I wont argue. All parties involved in the grave error scandal have an incentive to both save face and maintain the ambiguity. That said, reality always reasserts itself, and despite our current foray into post-modernism, facts are facts and eventually enough honest people will prevail. It may take awhile. Its in their interest to come clean now, but they wont until the balance of pain to them shifts in favor of declaring the facts.
I yearn for the day when I don't care what Andrew Coyne, Chantal Hebert, Althia Raj, or Rosemary Barton are saying because I am not paying their salaries.
If people do not see this gong show of a controlling government and press that Canada has supported….as a serious threat to liberal democracy…..then were done.
"There hasn’t been much debate within the nation’s media during this election about the fact the paycheques of most of the reporters covering it depend on the outcome.
The Conservative party represents an existential threat to the CBC due to its vow to defund the English portion of it. The Liberal leader, Mark Carney, has, in contrast, promised to shower it with an additional $150 million immediately upon him winning the election and, eventually, double its funding."
Barton also alienated Chromosomal women and our attachment to safe spaces. It's not just the biased media's stake, it's their virtue signaling on globalist tropes and their total disinterest in the path.
Activist media is counterpoint to the jail for speech crowd whose pulpit and religious dogma is barely challenged.
I avoid the sneering reporting and encounter it only when introduced to it from others who take the time to critique it.
Thank you Peter for all you’re doing media wise.... have listened to both your most recent podcasts with MLI and Pamela Wallin, also your ongoing contributions at the Hub.... keep up the good work... could CBC survive if they were forced into a subscription based model? I hope they could. I know I would never subscribe, but let the market decide. That’s all that capitalism is.... find your niche, play to your strengths, but for heavens sake don’t expect the taxpayer to fund your ruminations. :)
I watched the petulant sermonizing from Ms Barton and the gentleman (whose name escapes me) on the CBC panel after last night's debate. My advice to them would be, just do your job. I don't need these people telling me where my station in life is, and how our country should be governed (according to their prejudices). The fact that they let Rebel News et al get under their skin tells you all you need to know about their professionalism and objectivism.
I stopped reading the CBC "news" about 5 years ago after a flagrantly one sided piece based on a flimsy accusation of bias against possibly the best school principal in my area. After months of back and forth with the CBC ombudsman the final answer was essentially "yes, it's one sided but we don't have to present both sides". It is 100% clear to me that the CBC has a side and if you are not their side your voice will not be heard.
I too saw a short clips of the 3 CBC reporters (including David Cochrane) outside basically interviewing each other. My first thought it takes 3 CBC reporters to cover this why is this even necessary. My 2nd thought what a colossal waste of Canadian taxpayers $$$$. CBC is not effective and does not need to be so heavily funded. I watched on CPAC and with English translation it was fine to watch. The French commentators analysis afterwards was also fine with translation.
I am an old school leftist and dislike the CBC as much as any conservative. Probably more as it deviates further and further from its mandate. Partisanship is something that I despise as it creates division and is used by grifters to gain money and virtue.
If CBC cannot find it possible to have an opinion panel that doesn’t include a single conservative, then they simply aren’t speaking for all Canadians. They’re simply not. And I don’t know why we should have to pay for them in that case. Rebel News isn’t reaching into the typical Jagmeet voter’s pocket. All I ask is the same.
I used to love the CBC once upon a time. I thought it was high quality back in the day. But it’s now just propagandistic sludge. I mean… Rosemary “Putin is behind the truckers” Barton
Re the truth about the unmarked graves. I agree our MSM need to correct this not just for Canadians, but this false report made the news around the world.
We have relatives Down Under and in the UK - the impression they got was that Canadians conducted Srebrenica-style massacres against native children, forcing them to dig their own graves before execution.
I'm sure you feel as I do, that my ancestors were not universally bad but products of their time and place in history. Many of them tried to do right by the native people and others less fortunate than them. I feel like our own government has committed a terrible and malicious slander against its own people; my folks and presumably yours, for political gain. It's pure evil. I take it personally.
Great piece, i especially like terming the CBC types as "presenters" as they certainly aren't journalists, but i would go further and name them stenographers.
And yes, not a body has been found, but talking about non-existent bodies is a method of virtue signaling.
I wonder if it was dirty tricks last night: Carney's translator converted his French into coherent sentences, which Carney can't do in English; Poilievre's translator converted his very good French into broken English.
I have been quite disgusted with the CBC's failure to cover the National Citizen's Inquiry. To me it is indicative of their complete disinterest in grassroots community initiatives and a profound failure to honour the responsibilities of a public broadcaster. I no longer want to support the CBC. Let those who still find value in this enterprise support them.

As I say on my X bio. “Everybody has a point”.
Wake up. Nothing you read in Right or Left media is the truth. They are 2 cheeks of the same psychopathic ass.

Terry Glavin wrote this in 2022. It made him quite unpopular with the mainstream media. There were no bodies.

Yes thanks, that was great work. Now all the main MSM need to come clean and broadcast the actual facts and issue mea culpas.
It will never happen. They will never go against their own propaganda.

Anyone who can vote for a group that proposed the draconian Bill C63 should really not be part of western civilization.
We should push them in to the ocean and suggest paddling for china. They're all Liberals anyway, why not make it official

Good point. I have been trying to find time to write about how poorly the NDP has been treated by media in this campaign
Strategic mistreatment
Did the CBC critique this last minute 40 billion dollar spend by the liberals while we had no Parliament?

OMG! Thank you Charles. It's a prime example of a story that starts out as A gets repeated enough to become Z. I'll now go off and vomit.

Will be watching tonight.
It’s the term the BBC uses. I don’t intend it as disrespectful, just accurate.
Stenographers don’t need spellcheck, know what a pen is, and don’t confuse opinions for facts
I wonder if it was dirty tricks last night: Carney's translator converted his French into coherent sentences, which Carney can't do in English; Poilievre's translator converted his very good French into broken English.
My wife noticed that, as well. I can't stomach watching Singh, Carney and their ilk spewing their rubbish, I didn't watch.
