New Canadian Politics Thread

I worked at the Ceebs (a few times)

Most employees are miserable, management is toxic, and viewership is dying (literally)

Not sure the English side has a purpose anymore in today’s media environment
 
When is the National Post or the Sun going to platform left wing voices?

This clown just wants to generate clicks and he knows that having right wing douchebags on his show will provide grist for the mill. He doesn't want to discuss politics, he wants political theater sports. He wants to be Jerry Springer.
 
Yeah no worries, was just curious. Yeah, that tracks. Can't whine and complain about slanted and unfair coverage if your back benchers are getting equalish air time. As a movement, their approach towards their grievances is deeply cynical.
The Cons dont want to get involved with anything that might "solve" an issue. They want these issues to fester so that they can campaign on them. They dont give a shit about participating in governing. They just want power.
 
They resent the MSM because they can’t answer questions without sounding like lunatics or drawing heat for being ignorant whackos - and they know it. And they know that their opponents know it too. The political discourse is so focused on meta and partisan breaking, but one can’t forget these guys are substantively flat-earth bananas.

Science, economics, Other People’s Genitals, etc. They are the Tribunes of Imbeciles, and they don’t want to be held accountable for the demented bile they spew.

It seems that radio still has a following? I dunno.

TeeVee has been a zombie for years.

I'm good with revitalizing it. Surely its in the national interest to have one media outlet that isn't beholden to billion dollar corporate interests
Meh. They are depend on a billion $ from whichever government is in power.

That said I like the option of following both CBC &CTV.

Which should be seen by the people who do the voting as an imperative and beyond the reach of the sitting government. They're a steward of our national broadcaster. Not it's program director. Pay the bills and shut the fuck up.

The CPC has been trying to strangle it to death for most of my adult life for a reason and it's not because it's "unfair" to them. For an organization that depends on the current government in power, it sure has a history of breaking scandals that have fucked the government in power at the time.
