I can't stand what the CBC has become today - it has decided it is the saviour of the black and indigenous peoples communities by rewriting history and filtering its news through a "woke", politically correct" filter, easily discernible by the headline bias, let alone reading the articles or listening to its broadcasts. Even its "entertainment" - I'll take Murdoch Mysteries as one example. A black, female police coroner in 1900 Toronto? Seriously? Toronto then was a racist, mysognystic city, as they all were then. Multi-racial marriages? I'm not saying these were/are wrong, but they didn't happen then. This conscious bias carries over into the news, where almost every story is filtered through these lenses. This results in biased, inaccurate and incomplete stories that serve no one, including the black, indigenous/people of colour/LGBTQ2S++ communities. This is because it doesn't portray things AS THEY ARE, but rather as the CBC wishes they were. In this regard, it is hard therefore to escape the conclusion they have become merely a mouthpiece for the Liberal Party of Canada/Justin Trudeau. This has taken them completely away from their mandate and their roots and made them a poor contributor to a just and equitable Canada. Only honest reporting, not advocacy, can make things acceptable and right. That is how they should be funded, directed and mandated. Anything else is not worth it.
Whatever the CBC is to become, it has to stop the "woke", "politically correct" crap it is pushing now. It does not serve anyone, least of all the groups, especially the black and First Nations communities. Witness Murdoch Mysteries, set at about 1900 or so - a black, female police coroner. Would not have happened, period. Was Toronto racist mysogynist then? Certainly. Pretending today that it wasn't is merely rewriting history so that we cannot learn from it. Their news is filtered through similar PC Woke lenses, such that it is no longer news if it can't be made to serve this agenda. And it IS an agenda and is therefore biased, unreliable, false and inaccurate. The CBC has therefore abandoned its mandate. Why, should we ask? Well, we have to look at the source of the funding. The CBC's agenda is Justin Trudeau's ostensible agenda. The CBC has simply become a Liberal mouthpiece, with little honest unfiltered reporting. Mark, your ideas would result in a much better CBC, ending its propagandist. society-changing role and restoring it to its honest reporting job. All in favour, say "aye"!
I like this. Well said.
