JohnnyCanuck Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Evan Solomon is moving on to other pastures. For the past few years he has been insidiously pumping the federal Liberal party, by taking any public issues, and explaining away that whatever the Liberals are doing , if the best that can be achieved in the circumstances. At the same time he seizes with relish upon even the slightest radical pronouncement of any socially Conservative backbencher and trumpets into a) it must be party policy and representative of all. Or b) how outrageous it is that the party leader doesn't immediately throw them out of the party. Sick and tired of this Liberal shill. In case you don't know the dribble that he spouts over the airwaves (iheart / Bell talk radio network) in Toronto 9 - 11 am. is pumped out at Noon in BC. and we can't even phone it because it's not live any more. Thank goodness this JT fanboy is gone ! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBC is the propaganda arm of the LPOC. CRTC constantly seeks to reduce competition and reinforce monopolies in the name of “Canadian Content”. It just makes everything more expensive and there’s no longer a need to protect Canadian content except in minor ways such as the Canada Arts Council. DJ’s get shut down for saying controversial things in Canada. Newspapers are heavily funded by the Liberal government as well. Free press? It’s really gotten obvious. If the bills regulating internet content go through, it will get even worse. Iron curtain stuff.

Be it on his radio show or on his TV show, Power Play. I did enjoy him making guests squirm. Now, to where he is going.... I am not sure what GZero Media is. Left? Right?

blackbird Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Canadian broadcasting is heavily biased to the liberal point of view. The CRTC is a big part of the problem. They are heavily biased against social conservatives or Christian broadcasting. quote Canadian broadcasting commission accused of bias against new Christian stations | Catholic News Agency The CRTC’s recent approval of an Alberta-based pornographic cable channel was cited by critics who believe the commission is biased against Christians, though there were hundreds of available cable slots in comparison to the two open radio channels. Don Hutchison, director of law and public policy for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, said the cable channel’s approval was “quite offensive.” "The CRTC has, for the past 15 years, sent a strong message they don't like Christian broadcasting, but they will allow it with heavy restrictions," he claimed. “It's really getting tough to be a Christian in a country that was founded on Christian values,” charged David MacDonald, an Ottawan who once had his own Christian radio program. De Bray knew his proposal would face difficulties because of CRTC regulations requiring balance for religious broadcasters, the Ottawa Citizen reports. The rules require that a Christian station’s talk programs must be countered by discussions of other faiths. The CHRI proposal would have included about 71 minutes of programming for other faiths, particularly Judaism. The CRTC has reportedly eased some of its requirements for specialty cable channels on religious programming, but some dissenting commissioners opposed the decision on the stated grounds that “religious intolerance” foments other forms of intolerance in worldwide conflict zones. "We are disturbed by the extent of social, cultural, and racial intolerance which is often rooted in religious intolerance," they asserted. "One need only look to Bosnia, the Middle East, India, Northern Ireland, South Africa and other world 'trouble spots' to observe this phenomenon in its most violent form. Such cultural and racial intolerance is less dramatic and violent, but no less real, in Canada." I see this is part of the wider result of multiculturalism which resulted in the liberal appointed CRTC trying to equate all religions as equal. In order to give equal weight to all religions, they believe they must relegate Christianity to the back row or in effect relegate or destroy our Judeo-Christian culture upon which Canada is built on. I don't see anything good that could come from this kind of Marxist (equality for all) ideology. Western culture has more freedom, human rights, democracy and respect for the rule of law than any other place in the world. Their notion of opposing "religious intolerance" really means banning Christianity from the broadcasting system entirely and only allowing heathen religions to spread their false messages. This is entirely unacceptable in a country that claims to be democratic and a defender of western values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the NP has never been fair with its opinion, ever... Because it slants its coverage more on the right than the left... and yet i thought their coverage of this very topic I thought was very fair...but what do i know. But the CBC gets it funding from who again, the government, so there is no illusion that maybe they work for the government and might want to protect that source of income. not to mention some on the right are or were calling for the defunding of CBC, that wouldn't push any say, favoritism would it. Quote John Hinds, the CEO of News Media Canada, also said he was pleased with the announcement. “We’ve been asking for help and they listened to us. I think they delivered. It’s a substantive investment,” said Hinds. $600M in federal funding for media 'a turning point in the plight of newspapers in Canada’ | National Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
