Once again, a big nothingburger from NatPo.
CBC kinda sucks, but this is a drop in the bucket compared to the closed-doors deals that Enbridge makes, or Rogers/Bell, or Bombardier. Like, selective outrage is so so so so so stupid.
For fuck's sake Canadian media is so fucking terrible. Like, there appears to be a complete void of creativity and interest in pursuing interesting Canadian content. Our news agencies are a complete joke too.
The difference being that CBC is funded in large part by our tax dollars, so we have a much more vested interest in how it's spent than other private companies.
I get the feeling that most people criticizing NatPo are under the impression that they have no real stake in this news just because they "don't watch CBC". But believe me, we all do.
The CBC is shit and I don't want my taxes going towards them (that's a long bitter story). But I don't have a choice and no one else does either. So we can at least pay attention when the money is going to the brass instead of the workers.
Edited to add: I'm as left as they come. Don't mistake this for me thinking that the NatPo is anything less than a right-wing sack of shit publication. But even the worst person you know can make a decent point every now and again.
