Canada's State Broadcaster had a Ban on Conservatives

[WestCanMan]

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/travis-dhanraj-cbc-host-9.7121917

This is the CBC's own report on the whistleblower complaints made by their former employee, Travis Dhanraj. 

A quote from the Communist Broadcasting Corporation article above:

• He said he felt shows like Power & Politics would just have Liberal talking points on all the time, and that as a network, the CBC needed balance.

  "There were repeated episodes of Conservatives being blocked. I mean, I have the G-chats right here. I said in terms of getting folks on, that we need to have balance," Dhanraj said.

  He said at one point he "heard that maybe he could have NDP folks" on his show.

  "But Conservatives are a no? I mean, it should blow the Canadian public's mind that this was the stuff that was going on," he said.

The lying weasels at CBC also omitted the key allegations, I just grabbed these from an AI search, and I will see if CBC mentions them in a diffferent article somewhere:

• Former CBC anchor Saro Dhanraj testified that he was forbidden from booking Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and other Conservatives on his show, citing a "democratic deficit" within the broadcaster. He alleged that, as a journalist trying to be balanced, he was prevented from speaking with Conservatives, prompting calls for a management overhaul. 
  Key details:
• Allegation: Dhanraj stated he was not allowed to pick up the phone to talk to Conservatives, including Poilievre.

 

This should be the final nail in the coffin for the CBC, if not the LPoC as well. 

The fact that a leader of the opposition was banned from the state broadcaster's airwaves in primetime is directly from the Authoritarian Rule for Dummies handbook.

He also testified that there were many allegations of the Liberal party controlling the messaging of the CBC, but they were never investigated.

Here's what CBC is talking about today:

That's from CBC's main page. No mention of the whistleblower. Hmmm.

What about the "Canada" page:

Not in the ^top^ section...

Not in the ^middle^ section either.

It's on the bottom right corner of the "Canada" page, literally the very last spot your eyes will get to on the page.

So they omitted the key details of the story and put the story in the last-lace spot on their entire website. If this was a story about Trump from an anonymous source it would be on CBC's front page, for sure. "Anonymous source says that Trump said "shithole countries" at a WH meeting" was a front-page story for CBC, but when their own reporter shows his face and testifies about what's basically the end of our democracy it's on the backburner, with the main details omitted. 

Snowfall warnings in Northern Ontario made the top section of the page today, but CBC banning conservatives from TV is an also-ran.

Yup.

A billion dollars here and there tends to do that 🤣

 

And again: are we supposed to believe that an MSM outlet that lets one party control the narratives and bans the other from talking, is gonna just throw out unbiased polling data? Why would they do all that lying and manipulating just to harpoon their own false narratives with damaging facts?

As a broadcaster they're not allowed to say "we prefer this guy's message" or "we don't think that the PM's unethical actions constituted a major scandal", but they are allowed to omit key details of a story and then say "polling data shows that support for the LPoC was unaffected by this weekend's events."

How hard is it to find someone who's willing to skew polling data? In the US and Canada it's impossible to find legitimate polling data.

CBC was shown to be nothing but a Liberal campaign propaganda arm, paid for with Canadian tax dollars.

Liberal cheerleaders won't care.

I predict that now that Liberal party knows it can do whatever it wants, it will dust off all those "How much money can we get by taxing home equity?" reports.

They need money to keep giving themselves raises.

Even if they pick a low percentage like 10%, on a $500,000 home, that's $50,000/year you will owe the gov't.

That's going to break people.

Nothing we can do about any of it now.  Liberal supporters just handed over the reins to a globalist banker who didn't even live in Canada for at least a decade.

Dhanraj also showed the DNA that CBC employees have to sign, which goes beyond normal NDA's.  They also have to waive their right to bring any issue to a Human Rights Tribunal.

Which is basically just a license for employee abuse.

Now the "crying room" that one prior whistleblower testified about, makes sense.

CBC apparently has a "crying room" where you can go when you can't take any more.

[WestCanMan]

Leftists will avoid this thread like the plague, just like the one about the Mamdani family's love of terrorism. 

So will fake conservatives like MH.

Travis Dhanraj has a podcast you can watch on YouTube.

He's had Poilievre on there, Danielle Smith, Elizabeth May, Olivia chow, Lara Trump..... and for the die-hard Trudeau fans, Xavier Trudeau will be on there soon.

Podcasts >>> MSM News.

It's one person with their reputation on the line 100%, vs a corporation with a massive legal team and a laundry list of ridiculous broadcast rights and protections.

Joe Rogan is personally accountable for every word he says, 24/7, forever, while CNN is a revolving door of liars and snakes who can all take the fall personally while CNN is protected.

Another difference:  Podcasters and especially Rogan interviews people they don't necessarily agree with and gives them hours to speak.

CBC banned Conservative voices.

Here's a thought exercise: name ANYONE ON EARTH who has as many 180° shifts in their policy as Mark Carney does on a regular basis. 

"Elbows up" for 3 months -> "T1ts down, a55 up" ten minutes after he gets publicly spanked by Trump in the WH 

"Tariffs!!! HELL YEAH!!! WE BE KICKIN BUTT!!" -> "Zero tariffs." after a mean tweet from Trump

"CHINESE EV'S!!! FIGHT DA POWAHHH!!!!!! -> "Zero Chinese EV's" after a mean tweet from Trump (Trump now rules our country from his Twitter acct)

"We support the war" -> "The war is illegal" -> "We might join it" - within 48 hrs

Just wait, soon "Canada might send troops to defend Greenland" will become "GET OFF TRUMP'S ISLAND OR WE WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!!" lol. 

It's like Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, for real though. The change couldn't be any more dramatic. 

I hate to say it, but if Carney was a woman, I would honestly be blaming his period. I've never in my life seen a man change positions so dramatically and so frequently. My apologies to women everywhere.

Why is CTV News not talking about this at all?

I just searched their site and googled "CTV Dhanraj" and all that came back from both searches was the original article from 2025 when he resigned.

CTV hasn't said a single word about this topic. 

If it's big news when "an anonymous source" quotes Trump, why isn't it news when a CBC employee says that CBC isn't a legitimate news station, and has evidence?

Most likely scenario: CTV is staying silent for the same reason that the GOP and Dems aren't turning each other in for their Epstein Island excursions. 

The Dems and GOP go back and forth at each other like vicious wolves over the slightest, or even imaginary transgressions, but when it comes to Epstein island, they're all buds. Just like CTV and CBC on the topic of being LPoC propagandists.

Despite being maybe the furthest-left source in Canada, the Star actually did let this topic see the light of day.

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/travis-dhanraj-aimed-to-reveal-editorial-imbalance-at-the-cbc-what-the-former-tv-host/article_7990e504-9b2f-44d7-a9b1-539509178691.html

I get that we're not supposed to quote too much of an article, but I don't wanna editorialize/cherry pick and do splice-job smear article like the Star/CBC/CTV would do, so the full first 5 paragraphs are in this post. 

• Travis Dhanraj wanted to make things crystal clear: politically, this was not about being left or right. He just wanted to show people how the sausage is made: in this case, at the CBC, where Dhanraj was a television host on “Canada Tonight with Travis Dhanraj,” until he resigned last year. He blamed a lack of editorial independence, and what he called “editorial imbalance.”

  Dhanraj has since spoken extensively about this on his podcast, “Can’t Be Censored,” and on Tuesday was invited to testify at the Standing Committee for Canadian Heritage, between laid-off B.C. newspaper workers who have created a start-up outside Vancouver, a representative for Quebec community radio stations, some newspaper association and union heads, and a hardline pro-Israel lobby group. But for conservatives, Dhanraj was the show.

  Dhanraj claimed he was blocked from booking guests on his show, up to and including Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre, and especially conservatives. He said another show, “Power and Politics,” had given his show a list of guests not to book. He claimed discrimination, harassment, bullying, a toxic culture. 

So, the claim is right there in black and white. 

So where's the reporting? Where's the investigating? Shouldn't it be easy enough to dig up the truth and just say: "but a list of his interviewees includes [all of these people]"?

• On Twitter, conservatives went wild. It’s wasn’t just right-wing pretend news sites, or one of so many inflammatory or partisan right-wing online influencers, or conservative operatives. It wasn’t just right-wing columnists, or Albertan separation supporters, his fellow committee witnesses or anti-vaccine activists, or convoy enthusiasts. Or, for that matter, CPC MPs, including those on committee.

So, what was the point of ^that part^? It sounds like something that one of the sandbox clowns from the alt-left circus here would say. 

Shouldn't people care when a former CBC comes out with evidence that CBC is so blatantly biased? This isn't something to be looked into, it's a chance for a Canadian newspaper to get snotty?

Good f'ing grief. What a joke.

We all knew that they were party of the uniparty, but it helps to have credible first-hand accounts and email evidence of the demise of our democracy.

5th paragraph below:

• Retweets included independent journalist Sam Cooper, anti-carbon tax academic Sylvain Charlebois (The Food Professor), protest videographer Caryma Sa’d, COVID skeptic Trish Wood, and a cast of thousands, and of course, some conservative columnists wrote columns. It was a blizzard based on blind acceptance: that Dhanraj’s testimony confirmed the CBC was biased against conservatives, that the CBC is a state broadcaster, that the CBC should be defunded. 

The rest if the article honestly still sounds like a robo-post. Pure drivel. 

WTF is wrong with this country?

Not much if this is the worst you can come up with.

Your article even mentioned a well known secret that the Conservatives had banned their MP's from appearing on CBC.

Did you even read the title of your thread before you posted it?

Which has sweet eff all do with the CBC banning conservatives.

Just mailed a small donation to Conservatives.  I think a little money speaks louder than a lot of talk on social media.
