Hell, the conservatives proved themselves no friends of the CBC.

Clearly. They've ruminated for years about cutting or removing its funding.

The point remains, however, that this is public broadcasting in a democratic society. You can't use taxpayer dollars to punish a political entity that has the right to criticize you. The CBC's purpose is to produce, as much as possible, unfettered news and not be the spokesman for any political party.

Reminds me how Dan Rather and CBS tried to spring the fake memos regarding Bush's service during Vietnam just weeks before an election.

Every time something has gotten "privatized" in Canada, the service has gone downhill. "Privatization" is the buzzword of MBA graduates who want services that were established and developed with public funds handed to them on a silver platter. Because they're too lazy to go out and start a business of their own.

Canada Post. Air Canada. The airports. If you really think private enterprise can deliver these services with better quality, then go out and start a business of your own. Prove it.

What are you talking about? I said the CBC should be privatized, I never mentioned any other public enterprise.

Do you really think we need our tax dollars going toward a tv station in this day and age? The CBC served it's purpose in the first half of the 20th century but with the plethora of media options out there today we don't need hundreds of millions of tax dollars propping it up.

And yes, I think the private sector has proven itself able to run a tv network. Come on.

I remember years ago when Preston Manning spoke at my local campus. I wasn't a student-I was, and am, a working stiff- but I went to hear him speak. All the usual suspects were there to suppress free speech, but as he took the podium the 1/3 or 1/4 or so of the crowd that supported him broke into thunderous applause, much to the chagrin of the chardonnay socialists in the audience.

How did the CBC report this? "Manning was greeted by a smattering of applause"- a blatent lie.

Before some twit breaks in and says that all media outfits are biased, let me say this: I can refuse to ever buy a copy of the GLOBE & MAIL or the TORONTO STAR but I can't "refuse" to pay taxes. And God knows how many of my tax dollars have gone to support the %&*#@ CBC.

I'm not Canadian, but if I was I wouldn't harp too much on tearing down the CBC. As a US citizen I envy the CBC, liberal collusion or not. I wish we had an NPR/PBS news only network.

[enns]

Czarjorge, the CBC has proven itself to be a spokespiece of the Canadian left-wing. What if the opposite were to happen in the US? How would you feel if Foxnews was to become the government funded news network of the United States? Once you're not a part of the populace that the CBC is fighting for(now a plurality of Canadians), then you realize the injustice that is occurring. Their job is the represent both sides of the debate.

How many times must they rerun a Michael Moore documentary in prime time anyway?

The CBC's facilities should be sold by public auction and its news, editorial and commentary staff sent packing. Finding jobs in the real world of reporting public policy instead of trying to make it.

CPC keeps pressure up on CBC
