On my radio show in Montreal last week, I revealed that an employee of the French CBC also worked for the NDP for more than six months in 2012 (from May to November).
Those of us who are familiar with the CBC’s left-leaning bias were not surprised, just disgusted.
It was only the latest on the long list of our Crown Corporation’s double standards in terms of political partisanship.
When we first revealed her moonlighting, CBC started by defending its employee, arguing that she was not on the full-time staff — she was a freelancer.
As if one can tell the difference when watching the news.
Then CBC pretended that while working for the NDP, she was paid by the House of Commons, not by a political party.
Following that logic, we can pretend that the prime minister, all the ministers, their whole staff and all our MPs are non-partisan since they are all paid by our tax dollars, not by the political contributions of party members.
