The CRTC gives CBC permission to cut television news

In a stark reversal of decades of support for mandated hours of news production, the CRTC today announced it will allow the public broadcaster to cut back on television news programming.

The Canadian Media Guild fear today’s decision could lead to CBC cancelling television newscasts. The CRTC cites the range of other options available in metropolitan areas as a reason for the change.

The union representing most of the Corporation’s workers calls this decision unreasonable. It fears CBC will use this to cut down television production in favour of spending on online content.

GUNTER: CBC’s corrections to convoy stories same effect as a retraction

OK, I admit it. Maybe “retract” was an overstatement.

Brodie Fenlon, the editor-in-chief of CBC News has written to all MPs and senators complaining that “misinformation about CBC News reporting continues to bubble up in certain Canadian publications and political venues.”

Leslyn Lewis vows to defund the CBC and restore the media’s ‘independence’ if elected PM

Dr. Leslyn Lewis, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP and leadership candidate says she will “restore” Canada’s media “independence” and stop media bailouts at the hands of the federal government should she one day become prime minister.

“Everyone has the right to free speech and to their own views, but the government shouldn’t be paying for the ability of journalists to amplify their opinions,” wrote Lewis in a campaign platform update posted Tuesday titled “Defunding the CBC.”

The CBC tries and FAILS to make us laugh

On the very first episode of True North’s newest show Ratio’d, Harrison Faulkner breaks down the very worst of the week on social media.

The show begins with Catherine McKenna (Trudeau’s former environment minister) proposing the idea of mandatory voting. McKenna asked her followers if it’s time to implement this illiberal policy and we break down some of the best responses to that tweet. The CBC wants you to laugh at their state-sponsored stand up comedy, even though it’s really not that funny. For Indigenous History Month, the CBC is posting indigenous stand up comedy bits on TikTok and it’s so, so, so cringey.

Lawfare Project: CBC coverage of reporter’s death not unbiased and truthful

Lawfare Project submits complaint regarding biased media coverage of Al Jazeera reporter’s death.

Last Thursday, The Lawfare Project, together with counsel at RE-LAW LLP, filed a complaint raising significant concerns with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) coverage of the recent death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Aqleh.

As detailed in the complaint, the coverage presents an overwhelmingly anti-Israel portrayal of the events surrounding the death. In the Lawfare Project’s view, the CBC’s biased and erroneous reporting of the facts, coupled with a stunning lack of crucial contextual information, violates the basic principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, and impartiality, as set forth in the CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices and the Canadian Association of Journalists’ Principles for Ethical Journalism.

CBC Turfed From Russia – Canucks Ask If Applicable In Canada

Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Wednesday it was closing the Moscow bureau of the CBC and withdrawing visas and accreditation from the public broadcaster’s journalists, after Canada banned Russian state TV station Russia Today.

“With regret we continue to notice open attacks on the Russian media from the countries of the so-called collective West who call themselves civilized,” ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters.

Will it work here? CBC is nothing if not Canuckophobic.

Poilievre’s campaign hires team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online

Pierre Poilievre may be known for his social media savvy, but his campaign is getting some help from a conservative meme machine.

Jeff Ballingall’s company, Mobilize Media, has been retained by the Poilievre Conservative leadership campaign, sources familiar with the hiring told CBC News.

... Ballingall specializes in shareable, anti-Liberal messaging that often takes on a mocking or outraged tone. His Canada Proud and Ontario Proud accounts have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook and tens of thousands more on Twitter and Instagram.

Terence Corcoran: You pick — the old CBC or Musk’s new Twitter

Among leftist hysterics over Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, one of the standouts has been Canada’s own national broadcaster. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s flagship news show, The National, opened Monday night with a report that portrayed Musk’s move as a harbinger of ideological bias and warped perspectives. This from one of the most warped and biased media in Canada, creating the potential for a Great Canadian Media Standoff. Who will Canadians pick — the old CBC or Musk’s new Twitter?

Big crowds turning out for Poilievre suggest a very different kind of Conservative leadership race

In the last two Conservative leadership races, the supposed front-runners stumbled before reaching the finish line. This time, however, the front-runner is only showing signs of gaining ground.

Swelling crowd counts and MP endorsements aren’t ironclad guarantees of success, but they certainly don’t hurt. And Pierre Poilievre — with his populist appeals to frustration with government “gatekeepers” and calls to make Canada “the freest country on earth” — is doing well on both those measures.

The CBC has tacitly declared Poilievre’s support to be “white supremacist” by describing his campaign as the “Trumpification” of Canadian politics based on one or two twitter comments by fellow travelers. “Trumpification” is the liberal left dog whistle for their racism toward white people.

GUNTER: Breaking down CBC’s obsession with race and diversity

To give you an idea of how obsessed the CBC is with “diversity,” its staffers must complete a race-ethnicity-gender-orientation profile of everyone who appears on any of its news and current affairs shows – every expert, every panelist and guest commentator, even every passerby questioned in an on-the-street interview.

Anti-Israel CBC Culinary Radio Show Violated Journalistic Standards

HonestReporting Canada is pleased to share that, subsequent to a complaint we lodged with CBC last year regarding an anti-Israel segment that their radio program “Unforked” broadcast, Ombudsman Jack Nagler upheld our complaint and recognized that the episode violated their Journalistic Standards and Practices.

In a report dated March 23, 2022, Ombudsman Nagler responded to our complaint about a July 5 episode of “Unforked,” a show which describes itself as “Picking apart the food that we eat to reveal the culture and politics baked into it,” which covered the topic of “gastronationalism” and hummus, the beloved chickpea dish enjoyed by peoples throughout the Middle East and around the world.

Do we really need to be funding the CBC’s diversity?

CBC says racism against white people “doesn’t exist”

In response to a viewer’s complaint that a CBC radio program had discriminated against people of British descent, a CBC director has said that racism against white people “doesn’t exist.”

The complaint focused on a June 30, 2021 airing of CBC Vancouver’s radio show The Early Edition, where a guest had complained that schools were named after “Lord so-and-so or Queen this or Sir whatever.”
