The CBC.ca liberal people’s web site is reporting—no let me start again. The CBC.ca web site is not reporting what most other news sources are—that the state-run media has fired a reporter for sending a note of encouragement to troops fighting in Afghanistan. Which is to say they are Canadian troops. Fighting there under the auspices of our government, and our nation’s flag. As they are supposed to do. By our national democratic will. As a democracy. A free democracy.
The state-run media has chosen to take “no” side rather than Canada’s, again. And in so doing, they’ve chosen to take the side of savage medieval terrorists, against Canada. Against our side. Again.
They still haven’t fired the covert CBC spy who commented on this web site against my opinion about their show, however (as far as I know. They’re covert!).
Of course they won’t think they’ve done anything wrong. They don’t acknowledge what they often call the “so-called” war on terror, so how could they acknowledge taking sides? As I said the other day about the French, “if there is no cheese, we can not eat it”!
Christine St-Pierre, a veteran Ottawa correspondent for the French-language public broadcaster, wrote an open letter to Canada’s 2,300 troops telling them to ignore mounting criticism of the mission.
[…] “We owe you all our respect and our unfailing support . . . dear soldiers, your tears are not in vain, your tears are brave,” Ms. St-Pierre wrote in the letter, which appeared in Montreal’s La Presse newspaper on Thursday.
[…] Radio-Canada suspended her for breaching internal regulations that stipulate employees are not allowed to express their opinions on controversial issues.
“Ms. St-Pierre infringed a number of Radio-Canada’s journalistic rules. … She has been relieved of her functions for an indeterminate period,” said spokesman Marc Pichette, adding that the broadcaster was investigating what had happened.
St-Pierre told La Presse she knew she had gone too far and said she could no longer be objective when it came to reporting on events in Afghanistan.
“I don’t think I’ll be covering this story again,” she said.
She can cover it for us, any day.
Some of you may be thinking at this point: “NUKE THE CBC”. Well of course that’s the proper response inasmuch as it is perfectly disproportionate and will do the job.
For my part, I will repeat my mantra: State-run media should be banned in this country, and it should be enshrined in our Constitution as such.
