For its part, the CBC argues that it’s not the bad guy — that Facebook and Google have a lion’s share of digital advertising dollars in Canada as the media landscape has changed, and that we’re somehow all on the same team here, fighting against big foreign competition.
We’re not.
While CBC senior management is talking about “big” issues, the on-the-ground gutting continues.
I’m not convinced that the CBC even sees that, by both capturing advertising dollars and providing for “free” (with a healthy federal subsidy) the product that private outlets have to sell, it could be the last straw for some of the people it claims not to be competing with.
