Pinko Commie Leftoid Month at the CBC

[scribblet]

According to the CBC's official blog, May is "Pinko Commie Leftoid" month at the CBC, now I'm a tad confused, I thought every month was "Pinko Commie Leftoid" month over there. Strange though, that they are now admitting they are leftoids, even if its in fun.

Well no wonder the Liberals slashed funding to the CBC in the late 90's and no wonder the NDP protested those cuts.

"Phased in over the next 18 months, the cutbacks will bring to $414 million the total CBC budget reductions, which were first imposed by the Liberal government in 1994. The cuts will affect every aspect of the national broadcaster, whose current budget, including ad revenues and parliamentary disbursements, totals about $1.4 billion and includes 9,000 employees. English-language CBC Radio will lose one in three staff positions - about 500 jobs - and budget cuts will total $34 million. Program budgets for CBC Radio will drop by 28 per cent. No regional stations will close (over half the division's budget will still be spent on those stations), but their spending will be decreased according to market size. A number of programs will be cancelled. French-language radio's budget, meanwhile, will drop by $20 million, to $62 million, with 238 jobs eliminated from the existing 952, and French-language stations in Vancouver, Regina and Edmonton will be downgraded to bureaus of the main network. The French television wing will see a budget decrease of $70 million, with staff reductions of 304 employees, or 30 per cent."

Some of the comments are funny on the link, but other than that it seems to be a waste of time.

No, obviously, it's a blog allegedly by a CBC employee for CBC employees......sort of if you or I started a Mapleleaf blog.....

No, not at all.

I do not know what you are looking at but just scroll down to the bottom of its very own page. It says:

" © 2006-2007 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | Contact "

Just because it says: " Content here is neither reviewed nor approved by CBC management prior to posting. [more]. "

only suggests that it is not moderated.

Is this really the CBC’s official blog?

Yes, this is the official blog for the English media side of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It’s meant primarily as a blog for employees, but it’s open to the world and you’re welcome to join our discussions!

I guess the great big CBC logo on the page and the link in the upper left corner to the CBC homepage was not obvious enough.

You really think the corpse would not only sanction and pay a blog they did not have control of, but one that wasn't even registered to them?

It is not an "official".

And the copywrite info is necessary becasue he is using protected logos.
