Hicksey Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 It's just like the CBC to find ways to show what side they agree with. A news organization that was at least trying to appear non-partisan would at least do that with a quote summarizing each sides' position. But the CBC is hardly non-partisan. About now, Leafs games are about the only thing worthy of watching on CBC. And I'd pay to see them all on the Leafs channel just to not have to tune in that channel.

PocketRocket Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hmmm. So the contention here seems to be the bold-print quotes are meant to sway our opinion in favour of the defendents. And yet, in this earlier CBC article, the bold-print bits are definitely directing statements AGAINST those same people http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/toronto-...plot/index.html And this article sings the praises of the new Anti-Terrorist Act http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/cdnsecurity/ And here, a photo gallery related to the raid and arrests http://www.cbc.ca/news/photogalleries/flas...llery=bombraids And here, the headline is "Homegrown Extremism" http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/toronto-...-extremism.html Hmmm. In THIS article, which details the men arrested and charged, only their names are in bold print. Maybe that shows some sort of bias, too. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/toronto-...t/suspects.html Quote I need another coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Warwick Green Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Whenever I hear a CBC report from Washington, Israel or Iraq I never assume it to be inaccurate but I do believe checking the same news story from another source is advisable. After listening to Allison Smith taking issue with the Canadian Ambassador to Turkey as to whether the bombings in Ankara and Istanbul that killed 25 people were actually committed by "terrorists", as the ambassador suggested, I have been wary of the CBC.

Warning: Major brainwashing on three main news sources. I wouldn't care about font sizes if they were at least trying to seem non-partisan and did one for each point of view. But instead they are unabashedly liberal and continue to operate as such. If the CBC wants to be partisan and biased like Fox News they should have to survive without government funding. I have no problems with a federally owned broadcasting company. But such a company should be required to be non-partisan. It shouldn't be offering more liberal or conservative viewpoints. If the CBC insists on being a liberal campaign machine it should be sold and funding discontinued.

Machinations Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I recommend, Sir - as Dick Cheney does - you simply keep the dial firmly affixed to Fox News. That way nothing disturbing to your worldview will come down the pipeline. The rest of us, we'll read multiple sources and make up our own minds. I stand by the BBC and CBC, I think they are both excellent news organizations. I don't think you could stretch any further than the logic we see here - where quotations that are perceived as negative to the right-wing show supposed bias. Are the quotes not valid? Perhaps if you disputed the validity of the reporting as opposed to 'what' is being shown - in other words, if you debunked them - you might have more success. In terms of claims of bias. one thing can be said: It is demonstratable that reality has a left-wing bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess I should have been a little more clear on that point. Out of 11 stories on their website that day, not ONE had the same huge fonts as the CBC's article did regarding their 2 beloved people in Canada: Natives and Immigrants. How can one consider the below to be impartial when you are putting it what looks to be size 20 bold print which is highly unlikely for most CBC 'news' articles. Remember, this is a news article - not an viewpoint based column. I'll try to mach the font size the best I can: "'The accused are not aliens from another planet. They are Canadians accused under the Criminal Code. No more, no less." Then the natives: 'The Haudenosaunee are a people of peace and do not condone violence of any form.' (Is that way there are many warrants for arrest including attempted murder charges?

Remember, this is a news article - not an viewpoint based column. I'll try to mach the font size the best I can: It's called a "pullquote". Newspapers use them to highlight key comments from the article and, often, to fill space on the page (you neglected to includ ethe attribution lines). It seems that the CBC has recently redesigned its web site, including a new pull quote style. In short there's no smoke here, let alone fire.
