CBC Icon says Mother Corpse on Death Watch

This was eye candy today.

"CBC's choices are not between good and bad, but between bad and worse."

I hope this revelation from a long time CBC deity brightens your day a lttle....particularly if you are like me; a long term tax sufferer who has resented propping up this money sucking albatross which has degenerated into a centralized political tool of the single party state and it's latte-sipping cultural Marxism.

Now a lot of people get the wrong message when I say I want to see CBC sold off. There was a time I watched a lot of CBC. I loved the local programming...showed Canadians from coast to coast and their cultural events and opinions...I loved the local shows with well known local people and events and entertainment.....but this is gone and with the centraization of news, opinion, substandard politically correct but morally/intellectually impoverished entertainment from TO and Montreal, I see no point in continuing broadcasting this nationally to communities who don't give a rat's arse what Toronto/Ottawa thinks or does or want's the rest of the nation to think. Centralization of the CBC was part of the centralization ( read; control) of our culture, politics and national identity. Just as economic Marxism strives to centrally control property and economy, cultural Marxism proports to centrally control and fabricate culture, ideals and values......CBC has been used in this roll and the result is obvious...boring, endless preachiness and the national imposition of a fabricated propagandized "Canadian culture" that is foreign to the many regions and communities outsdie CBC's GTA studios.

I say this because the current CBC does not live up to it's commissioned mandate. CBC was originally formed to serve the public...particularly to provide local broadcast service to communities not serviced by private broadcast. Well that situation has been partly solved by the expansion of Global, CTV, Corus and Chum into local markets. However, they rely on a lot of toronto based programming and have only scant local news...the local community needs more than this...this is a market niche' the CBC could fill...become the king of the local broadcasters...don't spend a fortune in tax money competing with private broadcasters for national market share....and for Gods' sake drop the asinine partisan biased politics and lib-left indoctrinating preachyness.

CBC must go back to its roots and original perpose; to service small town Canada and the regions and leave the central national broadcasting to the private sector....OR PERISH

But we won't see that forthcoming because I see the current CBC exec. dodging their responsibility as corporate asset managers and blaming government and it's handouts for their inaction and wrong decisions. They seem to think that revenue only flows from nanny state...not private subscribers or market share based in providing a product people or private sponsors are willing to pay for .

My opinion is justified in CBC exec's own statements:

"More important are the continuous complaints from viewers outside Canada's largest cities that CBC's reflection of regions in its daily programming is so inadequate that the broadcaster is not fulfilling its mandate to taxpayers."

"When I was president, I argued very strongly to maintain a strong regional presence because the CBC had to be grounded in the regions."

"The CBC is in a special position as our public broadcaster, because it is mandated to make sure Canadians all over the country get news in their own region,"

The so-called mandate of preserving cultural identity revolves around keeping the multitude of small communities and regions, outside GTA where REAL Canada remains, viable with their own voice....both politically and culturally by having a broadcaster of local community values, culture and opinion. For years the commissars in the social engineering departments of government and CBC have deemed cultural identity to mean acceptance of a narrow manufactured monolithic political template which reflects only the partisan utopia of the Ottawa ruling class. The real Canada, that outside the politically fabicated one in Ottawa and TO, was being strangled by losing its voice and influence by CBC killing the locally produced programming for central controlled programming....just as the regions had their voice starngled by Liberal single party state centralized confederalism.

Until CBC changes it's course to serve "forgotten Canada" beyond the isolated bubble of central Canada, it will continue to die and I will aid that process any way I can.
