No More CBC - Oh Canada

So the CBC needs something like 125 million dollars or they could be gone. And like every one else in trouble, they want the
government to kick in or they kick out. Well first of all the government is you and me, the Canadian taxpayer, the very people that the CBC has so little regard for. Instead the CBC caters to the wants and wishes of the left, you know the protest groups,
the anti establishment, the anti corporations and all the rest.
Would we really miss the CBC ? People continually point to Hockey Night in Canada as a reason to continue funding the
government broadcaster. Why ? How long do you think it would take TSN to pick up Hockey Night in Canada. Probably as quick as it took CTV to grab off the HNIC theme song. Would we miss paying Don Cherry a million dollars a year for his antics and
comments ? I hear Ron McLean gets about half of that. No wonder this outfit is in trouble. A million and a half for a little five
minute act.
Then there are earth shattering episodes like Market Place where the CBC outlines such evils as garages charging to much for auto repairs and of the CBC's greatest pride - Little Mosque on the Prairies. How could we as Canadians live without that.
There there is the National news - where the CBC, or El Jezera North - promotes the Taliban, attacks Israel and questions anything and everything about morals and values.
The fall of the CBC will likely become a great loss for Jack Layton and other left wing leaners but hey you know what.
Its all about advertising revenue right. And if those who advertise really want the CBC let them come to plate and bail out
Mother Corp. If their not willing to, then let them go. I'm sure someone else will pick up the slack. Some-one asked me once whats the difference between a private broadcaster and a public broadcaster (ie CBC) Well in a private broadcast station
commentators can give there opinion and are paid by the private sector through advertising revenue. If any advertiser doesn't like what he is hearing, he can take his business and his money somewhere else. In the the public broadcast (CBC) the
commentators opinions, thoughts, stories and of course their biases are all paid for by the government and ofcourse by you and me, the taxpayer. I don't think the government needs to be in that business.
