cybercoma Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 What 'obstacles' do you speak of when he consolidates power in the PMO ? Refuses to hold press conferences ?Well, every four years he has an election. Then there's the Supreme Court. But if he could get rid of those...... Quote

Thanks for the link....I knew the CBC was hosed up...but not that much. What a circus....with bad ratings ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
On Guard for Thee Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks for the link....I knew the CBC was hosed up...but not that much. What a circus....with bad ratings ! Hey, want a real circus...go to faux news and listen to Sean Hannity. Laughable, but of course sad. Quote
Smallc Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Hey, want a real circus...go to faux news and listen to Sean Hannity. Laughable, but of course sad. Unlike the CBC, no one is forced to pay for that. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Unlike the CBC, no one is forced to pay for that. Yep, and Fox News has ratings that the CBC would die for. Even corporate bed partners can't help. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Smallc Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Amazing what people will throw their money away on isn't it... Every year we collectively throw away far to much money on an unneeded public broadcaster, so yes, I agree. Quote

Smallc Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Then help yourself to faux news. I have no use for American news. I'm just happy I don't have to pay for it. In Canada, we have several private broadcasters to choose from, and I'm happy to watch those. Apparently, most Canadians are too. Edited June 14, 2015 by Smallc Quote

Of course its good to have a selection of views with regard to news and there are a number of Canadian choices that do very well. The same can be said for the US. However it can also be said that they have turned news into a short attention span equivalent to a Playboy magazine facade. It pays the bills to the shareholders I guess, but it aint news and I dont want to go there, even if I have to pay a few bucks a year. Quote

That makes sense. Canadians have far better choices that are relevant to Canada, without having to watch the state funded circus that is the CBC....complete with sex offenders !

On Guard for Thee Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 As CBC darts around begging for TV viewers...have they done any different? More people watch CBCNN that any other according to the research. Some of CBCTV entertainment hasn't done so well I know. But im no authority as I dont spend a lot of time glued to the tv. Quote
Smallc Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 More people watch CBCNN that any other according to the research. Last I heard it was actually CP24 that was the most watched. Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Fox News is attacked for having corporate bias, but these clowns at the CBC were not only doing the same for very personal gain, but getting $1 billion in taxpayer funding to boot...each year ! Add some "celebrity" sexual harassment and rape to the mix just for good measure. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
poochy Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) You don't like faux news either eh... Have never watched it, and as usual you're resorting to amateurish insults and poorly constructed, grass based human analogues when you run out of argument. Edited June 15, 2015 by poochy Quote

Add some "celebrity" sexual harassment and rape to the mix just for good measure. Ya actually you're changing the reason of why many people don't like fox news to fit an agenda to attack the CBC and make some people look like hypocrites at the same time. Nice try! Maybe some people will buy it? Either way, the CBC is pro white in it's programing much like fox news. And is like fox news in it's discrimination. Surprisingly not more conservatives in favour of the CBC. WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year! Total fail of the moderation on this site!
