CBC Baiting

Jonathan Kay on Tony Burman: Another CBC lefty takes the leap to al-Jazeera

My dad had a great bumper sticker on his old car — I think he made it himself (he does that sort of thing) — that said "Who needs Al-Jazeera when we've got the CBC?" He was so proud of it that he once hauled CBC President Robert Rabinovitch out into the parking lot of their Montreal synagogue so Rabinovitch could look at it. (My mother thought this a tad rude on my dad's part. It was Rosh Hashannah, after all.)

My own view was that the slogan was an overstatement. Yes, the CBC can slant pretty far left, especially when it comes to the Middle East. And I've admittedly done my own share of CBC-bashing. But comparing the Ceeb to Al-Jazeera? That seemed a bit much.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
