CBC broadcasting to be paid for by Liberal Party of Canada from now on?

I read this “news story” with much interest Because (A) it seemed like an advertisement for the Liberal Party of Canada (again) and (B) according to the “news story” the Liberals have decided to pay for what they call “political” broadcasting starting on Sunday.  So I guess this “news story” won’t be covered by their funding.

The story starts out with this meiosis:

Faced with a daunting list of challenges,  Prime Minister Paul Martin is taking a tip from his U.S. counterpart by delivering a weekly radio address to the country starting Sunday.

He is not “faced with a daunting list of challenges”, he’s faced with the very real possibility of the criminal prosecution and the revelation of unethical conduct against several members of his inner cabinet and bureaucracy, and his party; and at the very least, of leading and being a major part of the biggest political corruption scandal this great country has ever known in its history. 

But whatever.

Then the breathtaking announcement:

“Given that there may be occasion to speak to political matters, the prime minister has instructed that the cost of these broadcasts be borne by the Liberal Party of Canada,” said the statement.

So I’m elated because I imagine that means the CBC division of the party will now be funded by the Liberal Party of Canada instead of all the taxpayers including those who are harmed and stymied and insulted daily by their anti-conservative, anti-American, pro-liberal-left propaganda, to the tune of a BILLION dollars per year.

The “news story” also expended some extra typewriter ribbon so as to inform us that the Prime Minister’s radio address “will also be available on the party website at ww.liberal.ca”.  Not “at their web site”.  No no.  The reporter was sure to tell us the exact address in case we want to go there, read the radio address, and accidentally catch any of their other “vote liberal” dogma.  A quick search finds no such reference in any news story in the past 12 years to “www.conservative.ca”.

It’s a wonder the “reporter” didn’t point directly to the Liberal Party’s donation page—but then again the Gomery report will spell out how some of the taxpayer funding of the Liberal Party works, starting this Tuesday, so maybe he figured it was redundant. 

The helpful “reporter” closed his “news story” by informing us cheerily:

It is not uncommon for U.S. presidents to use national airtime to make blatantly partisan political appeals to the U.S. electorate.

Unlike the CBC, you see.
