Thread Name: BS: What's happening to the CBC News
Subject: RE: BS: What's happening to the CBC News
my complaint against the cbc is the same as the other canadian media. they have abandoned critical thinking. the great journalist james travers wrote a long piece about this before his death.


the conservatives came to power and abandoned fiscasl responsibility without serious media comment. now we have piled up the two largest deficits in canadian history and no end in sight. we will soon exceed italy in government debt as a per centage of gdp and no jouralist seems to notice.

the wall street financia; debacle was perdicted by many because the financial securities issued were junk bonds. the junk bonf guys learned from the drexel and millikan scandals that they have to control the bond rating agencies, the regulators and the congress and then the same fraud becomes "too big to fail"". without journal ist comment. serious economists noticed and historians like nail fergeson, but this is still largely unreported.

they just no longer question things nor have the experience or education the put things in their proper context.
