But cheer up the CBC is now much more diverse then it used to be and probably in a way that you like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-27030044678738657002017-03-01T13:11:12.418-05:002017-03-01T13:11:12.418-05:00CBC cannot get rid of this Newfie jokes because he...CBC cannot get rid of this Newfie jokes because he's unionized.<br />It's even worst when you think that you save his butt with your hard earned taxes money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-62587075053243093692015-06-25T01:28:02.031-04:002015-06-25T01:28:02.031-04:00Get over yourself Get over yourself Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-45164949935041996482014-02-21T23:05:31.728-05:002014-02-21T23:05:31.728-05:00I too was censored by CBC for commenting on their ...I too was censored by CBC for commenting on their comment policy. Now I am allowed again but there seems suddenly to be abundance of just plain stupid commentary on those stories where it is allowed. Maybe they have made a deal with Pierre Putin.<br /> <br />You can deffinitely see Rex's Right Wing bias on Cross Country Check Up. Those who state progressive views will find themselves arguing with Rex while Right Wingers are left to pursue their thoughts.

Been a big fan of CBC radio all my life, but less so recently. Listening to Murphy host Cross Country Checkup is beyond infuriating. He is rude, interuptive and will not tolerate any criticism of the Harper government.

But sadly I wouldn't be surprised. It's clear to me that they are pandering to the Cons in the vain hope that they will be spared further budget cuts. And Kev is right, they have taken over the the CBC board, and the ghastly Bill C-60 gives them even more control over the corporation. The CBC has become hideously flawed but it's still one of our greatest cultural institutions, I wish them only the best, and I'm still hoping we can save them by defeating the Cons in the next election...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-17292586627241298812014-02-10T15:15:03.630-05:002014-02-10T15:15:03.630-05:00hi Thwap...I tried to think which one of those thr...hi Thwap...I tried to think which one of those three repulses me the most, but in the end I couldn't.

Just the sight of them is enough to make me fly through the air to retrieve the remote control and turn them off. But I am a big supporter of public broadcasting, so I am disappointed. And the more I read the CBC President's message to the troops, that I mentioned in a recent post, the more I fear a corporate takeover. And I'll never forgive the Cons for cutting the budget of the CBC and my beloved NFB. As far as I'm concerned we can't spend enough money promoting our own culture....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-63614872184788192142014-02-10T09:59:41.575-05:002014-02-10T09:59:41.575-05:00Simon: I agree that CBC should fire Rex because of...Simon: I agree that CBC should fire Rex because of conflict of interest (apparently shilling for big Oil while appearing to give his comments as an objective commenter). <br /><br />Unfortunately, it ain't gonna happen. In fact, CBC has apparently already been taken over by the Harper Party. Have you noticed that they have either disallowed comments or closed commenting really fast on stories that are really critical of Harper or his party? From personal experience, they have disallowed even my comments that have asked what is happening to the commenting policy on CBC. <br /><br />Sad, but the other commenter who suggested that the CBC has been stocked with people who will Harper's bidding likely has a point.
