CBC's Move From Liars and Propagandists to Evil Smut-Merchants

Further to our country's 215 tree-roots farce, and the bogus accusations of genocide that came along with it, the CBC decided to scam some Canadians by hiring them as consultants to work on a John A MacDonald documentary with some merch, but what they really wanted to do was set them all up to look bad. 

God only knows what kind of hack-job editing they're gonna do to try to make these people look bad, but this could be at the level of a serious crime now. 

The CBC has really crossed a line this time, and merely defunding them is probably not enough. They just need to be cancelled altogether.

Hockey isn't even on the CBC anymore, dingbat.

The CBC is just a mix of garbage programming and LPoC disinformation/propaganda.

What would you miss about the CBC, John?

What value does it provide for billions/year?

Well after that spurious remark... here's the gist...

The Operation: Individuals known for vigorously defending Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, and for questioning established residential school narratives were contacted by a fictitious company (using names like "Heritage Figures Canada" or "Forge Media"). The targets were initially told they were participating in a documentary or commercial shoot meant to "reclaim the legacy" of Macdonald.

The "Gotcha": After an initial, seemingly friendly interview about Macdonald, the production team conducted a second filmed session where they revealed the premise was fake and openly mocked or challenged the interviewees' views in a Borat-style sting operation.

The Targets: High-profile targets targeted by the pranksters included author and commentator Lindsay Shepherd, former professor Frances Widdowson, and Conservative MP Aaron Gunn.

The Backlash: The use of a public broadcaster (alongside APTN) to conduct these sting operations sparked intense outrage and debate. Conservative MPs publicly condemned the use of taxpayer dollars to mock and humiliate private citizens.

Current Status: The CBC has confirmed its involvement in the entertainment project, with spokespeople defending it as a long-established television format and satirical prank show. However, Conservative politicians have actively demanded formal investigations and accountability from the CBC regarding the ethics of the program. 

Now you pick a topic title that doesn't offend the fairy feelings.

Quote

“Northland Tales (working title) is an Indigenous-led unscripted, half-hour comedy series in early production for CBC Entertainment and APTN. For clarity, CBC News and APTN News have no involvement in this production or prior knowledge of it. The project was first pitched at the Indigenous Screen Summit — part of the Banff World Media Festival in 2024. CBC Entertainment joined APTN as a partner shortly thereafter. Social experiments and satirical prank shows are a long-established television format used by broadcasters and streamers around the world, including many public broadcasters. In this case, the Indigenous creators are using the format for Northland Tales. A form of comedy is being deployed to increase better understanding of historical injustices against Indigenous peoples and support truth and reconciliation in Canada.

 

So an Indigenous Comedy show went after some academics and it's streamed on CBC.

Ok.... everyone light your hair on fire then.  I don't think it's funny but there's nothing outrageous going on.   Comedy really seems to tick people off, whether it's Dave Chapelle or Northland Tales.

They should all stay away from politics as it's pretty hard to make people laugh that way...

What was I thinking?

The CBC have been evil smut-merchants all along.

Look at their garbage headline about the tree-roots from 2021:

Their headline starts off with a declarative statement about 215 dead bodies found, while 5 years later, no one has ever found so much as a fingernail there.

And it's not just a case of the CBC being unintentionally misleading, because they don't publish stories with the opposite viewpoint with the same "declarative statement and objectivity". I.e., statements made to the contrary are tagged as "residential school denialism", as if that's a thing. 

CBC's whole res school narrative is complete garbage. They're trying to rewrite history right under our noses, and it's disgusting.

To this day the scumbags at the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc have still never apologized for their ridiculous farce of an accusation. 

[Michael Hardner]

The 'declarative statement' is that someone says this, not that it happened.  

they don't publish stories with the opposite viewpoint with the same "declarative statement and objectivity"

No evidence of human remains found beneath church at Pine Creek Residential School site 

Seems they do, because they do journalism.

MH, anyone who tries to tell the truth about res schools or tree roots is slandered by the CBC, the Libs, and rabid first nations nazis, who are spending all their time and energy creating a false narrative about the res schools.

Here's an Al Jazeera page that's dedicated to portraying Canadians as some awful, child-abusing Nazis, and it's not that far off of CBC's portrayal. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2025/2/7/denying-our-truth-fighting-residential-school-denialism-in-canada

So how is that so different from what the CBC is saying? Why does the CBC sound just like a muslim brotherhood propaganda outlet?

 

What you are describing as a "harmless little prank show" is a disgusting, hateful attack on decent Canadians...

How would you feel if people who were peddling the 215 bones narrative were singled out and ganged-up on by a group of liars and manipulators (which is exactly what the Forge Media scumbags were - liars and manipulators), who had cameras all over them for hours, and then had the ability to edit all of their conversations to portray them in a negative manner?

Would you like to have a conversation with me and 4 other conservatives for a few hours, and then I get to edit all of our interactions down to 5 minutes of my choosing? And that's gonna end up on national TV?

That's what the CBC's group was doing to people, and this is after we already how much CBC has lied about this particular topic. 

This is way, way, way beyond anything that can be tolerated in this country, from either side.

That would make sense if CBC would ever publish an article that said "There Aren't Any Children's Remains at the Kamloops Res School - Professor Claims", because that's the exact same story from the opposite angle, but CBC doesn't do that.

Instead, CBC calls anything that questions the false narratives of the scammer bands "residential school denialism".

That's not evidence of an article that's got a biased title, about a story whose key details are as yet unknown, MH.

That's an article reporting on conclusive findings. How could they be misleading about that?

Are you fking ret4rded? It's like you're saying "Look, they accurately reported the score of last night's hockey game!" What other options were available at that point, MH?

I'd argue the opposite.  Comedy and satire should focus heavily on politics, and people should learn to stop being such fragile little buttercups over it.

It doesn't really work in the current age though.  It's either inflammatory anti-woke, or anti-trump. 

I don't laugh at any of it.

To add: there's too much entertainment and not enough serious thought in the public sphere.

Comedy still works, and still works great.  The fact that there are a lot of loud, unthoughtful and emotionally immature folk who complain about it (on both sides of the political spectrum) doesn't change that, nor the fact that the industry continues to grow and expand.  

Folks don't get mad the same way when a joke is legitimately funny and well-crafted.  As Andy Warhold once said, "Art is anything you can get away with."  Legitimate comics like Anthony Jeselnik get away with things that political trolls like Jimmy Kimmel or Joe Rogan or Tony Hinchcliffe never could.

That's obviously not true, unless you're a robot or something.

There's plenty of serious thought, it's just not what people are listening to thanks to the algorithms and how they shape engagement.  

The best comedians out there challenge people's binary thinking and force some introspection.

1. It works great as entertainment, I agree.  I don't know how we would measure its social utility, or indeed if there's any point in doing so.
2. People want it, that's for sure.
3. I watched one special from jeselnik and did not find it very interesting, so the point is missed on me.
4. I haven't laughed at political comedy, except when delivered by Michael Che and that says more about his talent than the material.  I laugh at a lot of his jokes.
5. Well, yes.  You have summarized the problem more succinctly than I.
6. Yes and political comedy plays to the camps.

The usual suspects only complain about comedy when they are losing or about to lose bigly. It's funny as hell.

When you look at how the leftists go apoplectic over legitimate reporting about Somali daycare scams, just imagine how they'd react to Rebel News taking a genocide-accuser aside and pretending to make a show with them, but instead of a good-faith interview it was actually a hit-piece where they were just playing the interviewee for whatever bad soundbites they could get. 

Theoretically this should be beneath the CBC: they're not two-bit charlatans out trying to make a new name for themselves and get some market share, they're a national broadcaster that gets billions of dollars a year from the Canadian Gov't. Not only that... what they do reflects on all Canadians to some extent, even though it's just the LPoC that controls them. The rest of the world doesn't know that about them: they think the CBC represents all Canadians.

While the CBC have tried their best to distance themselves from this, they still funded it, so they're responsible for it.

 

Bottom line is: these angry losers who are creating the false 'genocide' narrative can't engage in rational debate about it, because they can't be confronted with the actual truth, or have any part of the truth getting out, so they have to run this type of underhanded scam to try and trick people into making their comments, which they can edit the hell out of, and then run their own commentary (lies) after it while the person that they're slandering gets no chance to stick up for themselves. 

These people are truly disgusting. It seems like leftists find a new low to stoop to every day.

I complain that it's kind of played out.  I see younger (Millennial or younger) comics that play inside the political changes that happen, and make funny and incisive humour on it without needing to pretend that they bear a moral standard and that's funny.

Not that a moral standard ISN'T needed but like I say it's played out.  Richard Pryor and George Carliln could moralize a bit but also point out the contradictions in any heavy-handed worldview...

What's this 'comedy' you're talking about? 

Good God, we can't have all the pearl-clutching left4rds drop dead from a couple jokes now, can we?

[Barquentine]

Of course humour works when it's on point, skilfully delivered, and not punching down, like Chapelle.

But with what's going on in the US 'Through the Looking Glass' politics' now, it must be hard to satirize events. The reality is so bizarre.
