We’ve always known the CBC is expensive – grossly expensive. It consumes, gulps, incinerates over $1.3 billion a year in tax money.
Oh, sure, $1.3 billion barely buys you a garden variety Liberal government scandal these days. But it’s still a solid chunk of change for hardworking Canadians, especially since most of them never watch or listen to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
A Canadian Broadcasting Company vehicle was vandalized in Kamloops over the weekend, with the words “Fake News” painted along its driver’s-side door.
The vehicle was parked in the lot at Second Avenue and Lansdowne Street on Sunday evening, with white paint poured over its windows and the words “Fake News” scrawled in what appears to be black spray paint.
How U.S. media lost the trust of the public
A global pandemic, historic anti-racism protests and a turbulent U.S. presidential election had Americans glued to their screens in 2020 like never before. Cable news ratings soared, online news subscriptions increased and the amount of time we all spent online broke records.
But as people consumed more news, they also began to trust the media less, surveys showed. According to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of Americans with no trust in the mass media hit a record high in 2020: only nine per cent of respondents said they trust the mass media “a great deal” and a full 60 per cent said they have little to “no trust at all” in it.
The American media landscape has become increasingly polarized over the last few decades.
Hard hitting unbiased CBC political coverage… paid for by you.
…Senior government officials who spoke to Radio-Canada/CBC said they often perceived Bercovici as more of a spokesperson for the Israeli government than the ambassador for Canada.
In her lawsuit, Bercovici described the allegations of disloyalty as “vicious and unmeritorious attacks on her integrity and loyalty.”
Senior government officials say Bercovici often met with Israeli government representatives without her Canadian embassy advisers present.
The CBC is worse than Hitler.
Without diversity among its leadership, environmentalist groups risk being unable to speak to — and potentially recruit — members from a wider range of backgrounds and perspectives, according to Ryerson University sociology professor Cheryl Teelucksingh.
“A lot of the environmental movement historically has come out of a [focus on] wilderness protection, conservation sort of orientation, and that has not included the livelihood concerns that Black and racialized populations really emphasize,” she said.
In a recent article from the CBC written by Adam Miller, it seems that Canada’s publicly funded media is slowly starting to push the idea that Canadians must stay in some form of a lockdown or the third wave of COVID-19, and new coronavirus variants will sweep through the country.
If neither the government nor the CRTC is willing to enforce the laws that govern the CBC, it will continue to self-define as a publicly funded commercial broadcaster with increasing disinterest in adherence to its public-service mandate.
A video has recently gone viral of police in Barrie, Ontario performing a very physical arrest on a young man who was skateboarding. Allegedly, the 20-year-old man had ran a red light. The officers involved shoved the man’s face into the cold, snowy pavement and also at another point hit him with a Taser, threatening to “light [the skateboarder] up.”
In a strange twist, a third man came over to assist the officers in their efforts to restrain the man — while wearing a CBC jacket. It was later revealed that the CBC employee was also a volunteer auxiliary Ontario Provincial Police officer.
Did the CBC sic the cops on a small business?
Moments after the CBC left Café Wisk in Calgary, Alberta, the police and a health inspector came to ticket the owner.
A defamation lawsuit by the world’s largest fast-food operator against Canada’s public broadcaster over a report on the chain’s chicken sandwiches can proceed, Ontario’s top court has ruled.
Exclusive internal CBC communications obtained by Rebel News show the internal reaction after several online media outlets — none of which receive bailout money from Justin Trudeau — published a series of articles on a Liberal tabling of spending which included nearly $34 million in extra funding for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
“…Between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons alone, CBC television lost 25 per cent of its viewers. Its English-language audience share is now less than four per cent— a predictable consequence of policies that prioritize quotas and activist mono-think over editorial quality. At Thursday’s CRTC hearings into the renewal of CBC’s broadcasting licences (the transcript of which is available online), virtually every question and talking point went, in some way, to identity politics. On one of the few occasions when CBC CEO Catherine Tait mentioned actual programming, it was to boast about Canada Tonight with Ginella Massa, a newly announced show that looks exactly like every other similarly conceived CBC news show, except that — plot twist! — the host has a hijab. This is what now passes for fresh new thinking at the CBC: the same bad food served by a waiter of a different hue.”
Few care about the woke CBC. I have long said the CBC is its own culture unrelated and even hostile to Canada. Busy spending your tax dollars producing “content” solely for the CBC’s own consumption. Harper should have defunded the cesspool when he had the chance.
For Canadians who are not of a left-wing progressive political perspective, much of the CBC’s reporting on their progress on supposed “diversity” may come across as quite concerning.
It shouldn’t come as news that the CBC’s working definition of “diversity” is purely based on race/ethnicity. The CRTC licensing commission was specifically focusing on progress on “the CBC’s pledge to hire more staff and managers from underrepresented groups.”
The CBC admits to having made significant changes to their policies relating to diversity and inclusion as a response to 500 current and former employees complaining about the alleged “systemic racism” around the time of the BLM protests and riots during the summer of 2020, which the CBC only refers to as “protests”.
The CBC has turned the record sum of cash they received from the Liberal government into its worst ratings in history, new figures reveal.
Despite getting $1.5-billion of taxpayers’ money, data from the CRTC show the CBC has dropped to less than 3.9 per cent of viewership across Canada in 2018-2019 – a whopping drop of 25 per cent in just one year.
The president of the CBC lives in Brooklyn, New York, according to a report by Canadaland, the online news site.
The report says Catherine Tait lives with her husband in a $5.4 million home in Brooklyn. Canadaland reports that Tait has been travelling between New York and her home in Ottawa over the course of the coronavirus crisis.
Why am I not surprised? Because being lied to and shit on by the Trudeau government is the “new normal.”
The CBC is it’s own incestuous culture using tax payer money to smugly promote government globalist propaganda.
Few among those who pay the freight watch its programming.
There are myriad ways the money spent on this white elephant could be put to better use.
I will vote PPC as I do not trust O’Toole to shut CBC down.
