The CBC continues to operate in a wasteful, bias manner serving the socialist left wing mandate only while continuing to lose viewers and advertising revenues. Scandals continue. An unsettling, ugly anti Semitic movement has grown in the CBC News operation, history experts will know that this troubling bias can have devastating results for our country. Act now- contact your MP, the PMO and the CBC to stop this frightening socialist anti Semitic driven bias now.

Disgruntled CBC workers continue to confidentially share their stories with us, reports of management snooping, waste, huge salaries for select senior management, content bias, low employee morale continue in 2021 and we will expose these activities in our blog while protecting our whistleblower contacts. We take joy in knowing that the CBC-HQ visits us daily to spy on us, read our stories and to find out who owns our for the Canadian people blog.

One of our most popular posts continues to be the epic Dr. Leenen case against the Fifth Estate (the largest libel legal case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) yet where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the huge award and legal costs for this blatant CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers -this is a Perfect story for an award winning Documentary -ok - who would fund it and where would it air since the CBC owns the Documentary channel! Can you help? Please contact us.

cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc.

We ask students to please join with us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting massive Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up Bell-CTV, Shaw-Global, Rogers, etc.

Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC’s abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like anti-sematic news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it’s time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC- certainly not give them more of our tax money-enough is enough!

The CBC network’s ratings continue to plummet while their costs and our taxpayer bailout subsidies continue to go up! In 2021 what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money every year. That’s about $100,000,000 (yes, $100 MILLION) of our taxes taken from your pay cheques every 30 days and with no CBC accountability to taxpayers.

Wake up! What does it take for real change at the CBC? YOU! Our blog contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money on a biased, failing media service, and ... sell the CBC.

CBC's idea of a level playing field

CBC's idea of a ‘level playing field’ — subsidies for us, taxes for others.

Good news! The CBC has discovered the internet. With an eye to the tens of thousands of “cord-cutters” who have been abandoning cable and satellite providers for online video, the corporation has begun streaming all of its live television services via an upgraded mobile and Apple TV app. More remarkably, it will offer a paid “premium” version: for $4.99 a month, subscribers will receive all of the regular app’s content ad-free, plus the CBC News Network feed in the bargain.

Bad news! While its online boffins may have embraced the open, unregulated, consumer-driven world of the internet, the CBC’s management is still wedded to the same old closed, regulatory, subsidy-driven model as before.

CBC looking to hire someone to tell them how to be less biased

I have bad news and good news. The bad news is, CBC is wasting more of your money on brainwashing.

The good news is, they’re brainwashing themselves rather than everybody else for once.

According to the government’s open tenders website, CBC is looking for someone to tell them that “The Corporation”, as the CBC likes to call itself, is racist and biased.

They’re half right, but not the way they think.

CBC Implicitly Smears Israeli Lone Soldiers From Canada

CBC Implicitly Smears Israeli Lone Soldiers From Canada As Akin to Canadian ISIS Recruits & with Dual Loyalties.

It’s perfectly legitimate for the CBC to produce a news report on the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and more specifically, about Canadians who enlist in the Israeli military, also known as “lone soldiers”.

It’s quite another thing for the CBC to implicitly analogize between Canadians who join the IDF (a recognized army, from a democratic country and regarded as the most moral military in the world) and those who join ISIS (an outlawed terror group, known for its many massacres and its pursuit of a worldwide Islamic caliphate).

CBC lies about threat of Twitter trolls

CBC lies about threat of Twitter trolls to justify censoring social media.

"A CBC/Radio-Canada analysis of 9.6 million tweets from accounts since deleted shows that pipeline and immigration debates in Canada were inflamed by trolls thought to be based in Russia, Iran and Venezuela."

Nine million troll tweets released by Twitter? That sounds like a lot.

But immediately, the story is less than it appears:

"Twitter trolls linked to suspected foreign influence campaigns stoked controversy over pipelines and immigration in Canada, according to a CBC/Radio-Canada analysis of 9.6 million tweets from accounts since deleted. Roughly 21,600 tweets from those troll accounts directly targeted Canadians — many of them with messages critical of Canadian pipeline projects and tweets that highlighted divisions over Canada's policies on immigration and refugees."

OK, so it’s not 9.6 million tweets. It’s 21,600 tweets.

There are more than 500,000,000 tweets published every single day. And according to this CBC report, over the course of five years, 21,600 tweets, written by foreign trolls, mentioned Canada.

So about ten tweets a day.

This CBC story itself is fake news.

But it is fake news with a purpose — to justify the massive government intervention in social media.

CBC’s TV ratings down 40%

With the CBC’s TV ratings down 40% to a specialty channel-like 5% share of viewers even before it lost its NHL contract, according to Canadian Media Research, it’s worth asking again what has gone wrong with the Mother Corp and what should be done about it? 

The answer to the first question is that it no longer represents ordinary Canadians to themselves in a way they like or even recognize. 

So when its funding comes under scrutiny, it is not surprising that most Canadians collectively yawn while watching any of the myriad other channels available to them on various media platforms.

Many Canadians see CBC as “a blinding sheen of lightweight nonsense.”

Richard Stursberg, who engineered a cultural coup within CBC TV during his tumultuous 2004-2010 tenure as Executive VP English services, has been doing the publicity rounds touting his new memoir Tower of Babble: Sins Secrets and Successes Inside the CBC, claiming that, thanks to his visionary strategy “it is possible to say with certainty that the CBC has never been stronger.”

Writing in the Globe and Mail in response to the Federal budget, Stursberg claimed that, “For the first time in history, the CBC has proven that Canadians can make entertainment shows that can compete with the programs made in the United States,” thanks to his leadership. “If there ever was a Golden Age for the CBC, it is now,” he stated.

On the other hand there are many Canadians, including legions of loyal CBC radio addicts, who see in the television service what Globe television critic John Doyle sees: “a blinding sheen of lightweight nonsense.” A schedule, punctuated by ratings-grabbing gimmicks like Battle of the Blades, in which “there isn’t a single serious-minded cable-quality drama…a single searing comedy…nothing to compel anyone to note that no other broadcaster would air such a program.”

The CBC is just a tool for left-wing social activists

The tax supported CBC is a tool for left wing social activists to indoctrinate the Canadian public.

It collects $1.7 billion each year from the federal government to promote its left wing ideological objective which most definitely does not reflect the views of most Canadians. 

It does so, even though the Broadcasting Act, which was updated in September, 2018, specifically states in Section 3(l)(i) that broadcasters are required to provide a balance of information and in Section 3(l)(iv) that the CBC must provide a reasonable opportunity for the Canadian public to be exposed to differing views on matters of public concern. 

The CBC is operating outside its mandate.

Why Should We Save the CBC?

The CBC brass need to pay attention to the general public's growing apathy towards an institution too often in the news for the wrong reasons. 

Uncomfortable corporate silences. Lingering questions. Unanswered inquiries. 

CBC fans can't explain this riddle to themselves, much less to lukewarm listeners. 

As the embattled broadcaster lobbies for increased government dollars to "Save the CBC" underneath a cloud of checkered transparency and puzzling rationales, taxpayers' appetite for increased spending dries up.

CBC to get a free pass

Canadian Taxpayers Shouldn’t Be Forced To Fund State-Run CBC.

CBC has run an article that can only be described as garbage. Its headline says that, Doug Ford only won the Ontario election’ because he’s a quote “white heterosexual male”.

The headline completely dismisses the fact that people from all backgrounds supported Ford-Nation because they want lower taxes and fiscal responsibility.

Instead it’s more of the same insane identity politics that devalues individuality and seeks to divide people.

Of course if an article is written about another candidate from a group the Left saw as victimized – the left would go crazy at the mere mention of race, gender, and sexual orientation – when it’s the CBC they seem to get a free pass.

Not only is the article garbage but it’s garbage that we’re paying for with our tax dollars and we aren’t even given a choice.

Will more tax money save the CBC?

CBC’s flagship news segment needs more than a cosmetic change—it needs an overhaul.

Change doesn’t seem to come naturally to the cbc, whose strategies remain stuck in the twentieth century.

The time has come for the public broadcaster to make the fundamental changes necessary to regain its viewers’ trust and to prove its worth—before its audience signs off for good.

Public subsidy to the CBC is a forced transfer of wealth

The CBC, like many creatures of government, has now lived long enough to outrun several generations of justifications for its existence.

The CBC was created, as both monopolistic broadcaster and regulator, because what preceded it was all so untidy, unhealthy, unpredictable . . . unpalatable.

The Broadcasting Act says the Corporation shall operate “radio and television” services; it doesn’t say anything about a website, much less a website that functions as a telegraphic gazette.

Polls always demonstrate high levels of purported political support for the CBC. The public subsidy to the CBC is a forced transfer of wealth from people who don’t like it to people who do, and the “dos,” unsurprisingly, like the set-up just fine. No social or economic arguments against privatization of the CBC are possible. It’s nothing but a zombie, slowly sucking up a dwindling fund of goodwill and nostalgia.

CBC named in major defamation lawsuit


A follower has asked us to post this Press Release on cbcExposed:
________________________
  
Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) Launches a Major Defamation Lawsuit Against CBC’s TV program, The Fifth Estate
Winnipeg, Manitoba (February 11, 2019) – The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) or Church of Christ, an international religious organization, launched a major defamation lawsuit against Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)- The Fifth Estate’s TV program “Church of Secrets”—that they aired in November 2018.
The Notice of Action against CBC and those involved in the Fifth Estate program had been served on the people being sued. The actual lawsuit was filed in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Winnipeg, in a historic city where the first congregation of Iglesia Ni Cristo was registered in Canada.
A news conference organized on behalf of the INC held in Winnipeg on Friday announced that the charges were based on the scandalous, outrageous and false accusations against the Church in that program.
At the news conference, which was attended by several Ministers of the Church, members of the Church, and the Church’s lawyers, the following points were made by Minister Rod Bruno and Minister Sidney Santos:
1.    The Church is seeking, above all, vindication for the false allegations made against it by CBC’s Fifth Estate program and, Timothy Sawa and Bob McKeown. There was and is no evidence to support these false allegations;
2.    The Church is seeking an apology and retraction for the misrepresentations and falsehoods asserted by the Fifth Estate program. CBC is not prepared to offer an apology and retraction and have therefore left the Church with no alternative but to pursue this lawsuit to hold them accountable for these grossly unjust accusations which were based on nothing more than innuendo and speculation;
3.    The program included an allegation by an individual which turned out to be false.  Well before the program aired, the individual disavowed the information she had provided to CBC.  CBC should have known full well that what the individual said was false and had been disavowed, yet they proceeded to include it as part of the program.
4.    The program referred to Iglesia Ni Cristo as the “Church of Secrets.” The point highlighted at the news conference that the Church had nothing to hide. The Church has been very involved in outreach programs, humanitarian programs of all sorts and has participated in assisting victims of hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and tornados;
5.    The Ministers made clear at the news conference that the members of the Church are law-abiding, God-fearing and peaceful citizens of Canada and the rest of the world.
The Church could not remain silent and do nothing about these spurious allegations against it that have stained and damaged the Church’s reputation. The Church is determined to hold CBC accountable for the gross misrepresentations that tainted its reputation worldwide.

For further information on the lawsuit, please contact Jay Prober, (204)957-1205, one of the lawyers for the Church.









CBC supporting blocking is counter-intuitive position for public broadcaster

Documents unearthed by uOttawa internet law professor Michael Geist detail the Bell Fair Play Coalition’s dealings with the CBC and lobbying activity with post secondary institutions, including Ryerson University.

The coalition is pushing the government to establish an Internet Piracy Review Agency under the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission. The agency would have the power to block and take down websites if they were determined to be illegally making available copyright infringing content.

The CBC’s involvement was questioned by Michael Geist. “the CBC might prefer that viewers use authorized services, but supporting blocking is a counter-intuitive position for a public broadcaster as it tries to stop Canadians from viewing the content they paid for through their tax dollars. Internal documents now suggest that executives at the highest level were involved in the process from the very beginning and well aware of the concerns.”

How the CBC lost Hockey Night in Canada

CBC didn't consider Rogers a threat, according to author David Shoalts.

It was a marriage that many thought would last forever.

From the initial radio broadcast with play-by-play by Foster Hewitt in 1926 to the move to television in the early 1950s, Hockey Night in Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation were inseparable — until 2013, when Rogers Communications won the exclusive rights to broadcast NHL games in Canada in a 12-year, $5.2-billion deal.

How the CBC lost Hockey Night in Canada — and all the ways Rogers's big win went wrong — are detailed in Globe & Mail reporter David Shoalts's book, Hockey Fight in Canada: The Big Media Face Off Over the NHL.

Grassroots group organizing against the CBC

Earlier this week The Post Millennial published an article detailing how two pieces were removed from CBC’s Radio International Website for allegedly being too pro-gun.

Since publication, that story has continued to progress and the new developments are fairly interesting.

Notably, the Editor-in-Chief for the website responded by stating that the pieces were considered incomplete and that they would be republished closer to the election, and in “long format”.

The problem with this?

The CBC still maintains on their primary website a mountain of articles which are incredibly one-sided when it comes to the coverage of guns and gun control.

According to Tracey Wilson, a staff member of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights (CCFR), in 2018 alone there where more than 20 questionable articles.

None of those articles have been taken down for the purposes of providing balance. Yet the one series which aimed to discuss the technical aspects of guns, that was rapidly removed due to balance.

This alleged onesidedness has spurned Wilson to act by actively asking Canadians to file complaints regarding each story to the CBC’s ombudsman.

CBC bias hits new low

Earlier this week I took you through Maxime Bernier’s tweets about the cult of diversity that's being pushed by Justin Trudeau.

I liked Bernier's tweets. They showed a bit of pep and courage.

And it was interesting to watch the response to them, especially from the CBC.

After going on about Bernier, the CBC's Rosemary Barton noted that he “chose” to make those tweets on the anniversary of that U.S. racist march in Charlottesville. (In fact, he made them before and after that arbitrary date, too.)

The CBC then admitted that they hadn’t spoken to Bernier before doing that report. But they just made that up anyway.

CBC Radio Canada pulls fact-based gun series

In a bizarre move, Radio Canada (CBC) pulled two parts of a four part series on the national gun debate from their website this week, “The Gun Debate in Canada” by Marc Montgomery. This series was taking a factual, almost technical look at the misinformation and rhetoric surrounding what has become one of Canada’s most polarizing political debates – private gun ownership. Our own Tracey Wilson reached out to CBC-RCI to find out why, considering the media has an obligation to publish facts and data. The reason cited; assessed as incomplete. RCI Web Editor in Chief Soleiman Mellali stated that “We plan to produce a long format on this important debate. The different points of view will be expressed and the facts verified. Citizens will then be able to form their own opinion.”

Miss Wilson refutes this statement saying, “When the very things you are discussing are technical and factual in nature and not emotion based ideological arguments, there is no “other side”. Facts are facts so it is impossible to show two sides when there is only truth.”

CBC should set up a hot line for HRC’s exclusive use

Really, given its history with HRC, the CBC should set up a hot line for HRC’s exclusive use.

On Jan 11, following an HRC complaint, CBCNews.ca amended a misleading Jan 10.

On Jan. 3, the CBC Ombudsman partially upheld a HRC complaint finding that a November article by Mideast bureau chief Derek Stoffel ...

On April 18 last year, CBCNews.ca reported on a terrorist attack in Jerusalem with the headline, “Explosion aboard Jerusalem Bus, 21 hurt.” The next day, following HRC’s intervention, the headline was changed to “Jerusalem bus bomb blast injures 21.”

And in March, HRC was successful in having CBC change a headline, “Police kill 2 Palestinians in Jerusalem gun attack” which implies the Palestinians were victims, to “Police kill 2 Palestinian gunmen after Jerusalem attack.”

That’s a typical selection from last year’s beefs. According to Fegelman, who happily concedes that Stoffel is a fine bureau chief on the whole, and files many good reports, HRC submits “several dozen” complaints a year to the CBC.

Air Canada Attacks CBC ‘Bias’

Air Canada has taken to social media to air a grievance with the CBC, and the airline is pulling no punches.

In a Facebook post and Tweet on Friday from its corporate accounts, the airline presented what it called "confirmation" of biased reporting at the CBC.

The confirmation appears to be an internal email in which CBC Sunday Edition host Michael Enright tells a CBC producer that Air Canada's reply to a series of questions about boarding procedures was "bullshit."
