Shades of Obamacare, when they ran the out-of-context Nancy Pelosi soundbite "you have to read it before you can pass it" nonstop and poisoned the public mindset against better healthcare for them and their families. Or how they spent 18 months obsessing over Hillary's emails and the "assassination" of Seth Rich instead of Trump's 40 years of connections to the Italian and now Russian mobs. But what else is new: the northern equivalent of CNN, where "both sides are just as bad" and it's "up to the viewer to decide," has clearly decided that their role is to "just ask questions," and do jumping jacks about Trudeau's socks to get ratings, instead of actually educating the public on "boring" matters of fiscal policy. Even when a headline like "TRUDEAU SQUEEZES RICH, PLANET-DESTROYING CROOKS TO PUT MONEY IN EVERYDAY PEOPLE'S POCKETS!" would obviously attract an audience. <a href="https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/09/14/facing-criticism-past-climate-reporting-bbc-commits-reigning-false-balance/" rel="nofollow">Mother Beeb has decided to de-platform climate denialists.</a> Time for Baby Ceeb to follow suit.<br /><br />I saw an old article from iPolitics the other day circulating around social media, asking <a href="https://ipolitics.ca/2017/04/07/what-happens-when-postmedia-finally-dies/" rel="nofollow">what will happen when Postmedia finally dies.</a> My answer would be: sales of champagne will skyrocket. Now someone needs to fix the CBC by firing all the Con-friendly professional obfuscators, or spike their drinks with sodium pentothal to make them start telling the truth.Jackie Bluenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-77934873237929384262018-10-16T12:12:33.456-04:002018-10-16T12:12:33.456-04:00An excellent plan Simon.
