If there was any doubt that CBC management has either lost its moral compass, or its marbles, now there can be none.
For all you have to do to arrive at that conclusion is read how they are defending Amanda Lang.
So, let's add it up: the government thought RBC did something wrong and RBC apologized for doing something wrong. But Lang said they didn't, and now CBC management says she's "technically correct."
Which couldn't be more absurd.
Or watch Rex Murphy in action this weekend at the Manning Networking Conference, along with all the other Con clowns...
It's taken them long enough, and it never should have happened in the first place.
But the useless managers at the CBC have finally surrendered, and banned paid appearances.
Last night I wrote about the CBC and said that if it was in trouble people should blame the Harper regime and its managers, not its workers.
For it was its useless managers who created the celebrity culture that allowed "stars" like Jian Ghomeshi to bully those who worked for him.
Or allowed people like Amanda Lang or Rex Murphy to make a joke out of conflict of interest guidelines.
And this is more fuel for that bonfire of the vanities
Ever since the CBC was hit by the Ghomeishi scandal, and now the Amanda Lang Affair, the CBC haters in this country have been having a ball.
Trying to use the scandals as just another excuse to kill the corporation. For those Cons hate it so much with a zealotry that borders on insanity.
But what I find even more disturbing is that some progressive bloggers have been throwing up their hands and declaring that the CBC is beyond saving, and should simply be scrapped. Just like that.
I won't mention their names for I have no desire to publicly embarrass them. But I do think they need to be reminded that the CBC, flawed as it may be, is still a precious Canadian institution that should not be destroyed that casually.
