I'd like to thank CBC for its support of McCain's Campaign

[thomaska]

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is reviewing complaints from both Americans and Canadians about a Web site columnist who recently described Sarah Palin’s supporters as “white trash,” compared the vice presidential candidate to a “porn actress” and called her daughter’s boyfriend a “redneck” and “ratboy.”

Boneheads like this are going to ensure McCain wins, so thank you for your support,

Keep up the good work CBC!​

I think the sinking US economy will have a little more to do with who gets elected....

"CBC Ombudsman Vince Carlin told FOXNews.com that he has gotten “quite a few complaints about [the column], both from Canada and the U.S,” and said he’s reviewing its contents to see if it meets CBC’s journalistic standards and practices."

The CBC has stanndards. Who knew.

"As for Mallick, he said, “She’s a columnist not a journalist.”"
This is for Carlin in case he reads this forum.
col·um·nist: somebody who writes column: a journalist who writes a regular column for a newspaper or magazine​

jour·nal·ist :somebody engaged in journalism: a writer or editor for a newspaper or magazine or for television or radio

I was gonna say "Heather Mallick" without looking.....but my eye caught the name in the post above.

The woman is a boil on the arse of respectable journalism.....

Alaska in Canada's ugly stepchild lol.

It's an opinion column. Since when did Fox require other networks to be politically correct? Boy that is change - new-age Mavericks complaining about politically incorrect writers. She's certainly no worse than the idiots Fox has on camera.

She's a COLUMNIST , but a pretty good journalist also.

You'd know more about boils on people's asses than most, for sure.

Nuggs, the woman is an idiot, a loose cannon. She has no respect for the truth, she is an insulting little bitch. Where in the world does she get off?

Political criticism of Palin, ideological criticism.....fine. No problem. But to engage in one-sided verbal mud wrestling.....all the time accusing Palin of low class appeal, of hooker looks........white trash, you know, the gall of the stupid bitch.

She has not the intellectual ability to challenge anyone on their politics or their ideology.....she has all the class of a rabid sewer rat.

I've read her columns for years.......she has an extremely casual relationship with truth (I think they met once).......oh I'm at a loss for words!

Of course that since this is an opinion piece the cbc will be putting out a piece that trashes obama and his running mate. Don't hold your breath. This is typical left-wing garbage that the cbc wallows in and they love it. Bashing the republicans and the conservatives is considered fine upstanding journalism by mothercorp.

Just like all the Republican bashers on Fox. You can't get away from them.

Exactly! Fox News wouldn't apologize for things Bill O'Reilly or Ann Coulter say on the air. Why should the CBC apologize for Mallick? They're just different sides of the same coin.

Ahhh...I'm not paying for FOX TV..........it is a private company, with every right to say anything it wants.

I AM paying for the CBC......and I don't expect Mallick to apologize.....I'd have to assume she was part of the human race for that. Nor do I expect the CBC to apologize......they should just let a couple of KKKers let go at Obama........you know, in the interests of even-handedness. And they would probably be smarter than Mallick. Or at least more decent. And I hate racists.

OHHHHHH.....I'm sorry, I forgot. It is perfectly OK to insult Alaskans, rednecks, women or anyone else, as long as they are white and right-wing............but no shoe is allowed on the other foot.

You are learning well Colpy. ;-)

Quick, bring in the thought police. We can't have anyone insult McCain's running mate...

 

[Kreskin]

Why would it matter if it is private or public? The CBC is probably the closest thing to neutral of any media in North America. It isn't like the private companies are funded by the poor and underprivileged leftwingers.

Awww... thanks Took a trip home, had some drama at work, hibernated a bit, broke my computer... all done now so I'm back

After all these years Colpy you still don't know what the CBC is. CBC is the only provider of news and information services to hundreds of thousands of people in the north. CBC broadcasts in French and English, as well as 7 or 8 aboriginal languages. CBC provides home/school to thousands of children who can't get out to school. CBC is not Goddamn FOX. The other American networks were offered the chance to provide these services but they refused.................Now, is that a surprise???..................Not bloody likely...
