Sometimes things just get to me. Usually, it’s things like when the government, or an appendage of it like the state-owned CBC, appears to be infringing on our rights and misusing their privilege. Trying to shut down the discussion because it doesn’t abide by their narrative. Messing with democracy, in no unclear way, on so on. To wit:
The Liberals' state-owned CBC unit writes up an article fretting and complaining about a **private** media rival.
Seriously.@TPostMillennial is a threat to The Narrative.https://t.co/Dv0rsolBAs
But look at the comments!

…"But a CBC/Radio-Canada investigation found…"
State-owned media investigating a private media outlet? Hooboy.
Sounds like the state is unhappy with its deplorable subjects not falling in line. Dissenters! They must be stopped.

… It reminds me of when the CBC lawyers wrote to me and threatened, "…we will be monitoring your site…" — the site being https://t.co/xxGDBJxSop
They also added, "You are completely entitled to your negative view of the CBC." Very gracious, right?

The CBC has also done a totally unfair and, really, a radically stupid hit job on another media outlet today: The Epoch Times. https://t.co/wN6ul2bIW8
"This CBC report is meant to shut down our voice," says the Chinese-born Canadian immigrant and publisher of Epoch Times

Re the CBC article: "The sole purpose seems to be to discredit The Epoch Times and our reporting on the coronavirus."
Scary stuff. I know. I've been there, as I said before.

"However, we have more connections inside China than others and have reported vital information ahead of many other media" writes the Epoch Times publisher Cindy Gu.
That's precisely what scares the CBC and the rest of the establishment, left-wing media in the west.

CBC should be called on the carpet for this garbage reporting; and a strong memo sent to Canada Post employees who refused to deliver the paper because they didn't agree with it.
A strong public apology should be issued by the CBC.
We best watch our democracy carefully.
