If that is the consequence of reporting the truth....then yes, of course.<br /><br />Meanwhile the CBC's reporting of the income trusts matter, for the reasons outlined in my post fell totally shy of the CBC's written policies, as follows. since the CBC did SFA in the way of research to present their editorialized BS views about tax leakage, in the face of all credible sources of research to the CONTRARY, as itemized in my piece:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2. JOURNALISTIC PRINCIPLES<br /><br />Information programs must reflect established journalistic Principles:<br /><br />Accuracy<br /><br />The information conforms with reality and is not in any way misleading or false. This demands not only careful and thorough research but a disciplined use of language and production techniques, including visuals.<br /><br />Integrity<br /><br />The information is truthful, not distorted to justify a conclusion. Broadcasters do not take advantage of their power to present a personal bias.<br /><br />Fairness<br /><br />The information reports or reflects equitably the relevant facts and significant points of view; it deals fairly and ethically with persons, institutions, issues and events.<br /><br />Application of these Principles will achieve the optimum objectivity and balance that must characterize CBC/Radio-Canada's information programs.Filliblusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563618107971013947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-1428693466403013672010-03-02T13:45:45.449-05:002010-03-02T13:45:45.449-05:00So if I understand you correctly, the role of the ...So if I understand you correctly, the role of the CBC and the opposition paties are the same ... attack the government.<br /><br />Strangely, I don't remember being told that in the 8 years I worked for the CBC - but then the Liberals were in power then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-37367363235686630502010-03-02T12:35:58.498-05:002010-03-02T12:35:58.498-05:00I wonder what the Harper Government has said to th...I wonder what the Harper Government has said to the top brass at the CBC. Whatever it was, our public broadcaster is no longer a free and independent. The poisonous tentacles of this lying government have spread far and wide ensuring that Canadians will be happy in their ignorance. Unknown to them, their life blood is being sucked out of them. I wonder what tipping point will bring working Canadians to their senses, perhaps no money to retire with and paying 70% taxes. I am amazed that so many Canadians support this heartless, mean spirited dictator who interests do not include the lowly Canadian taxpayer, only the rich.
