The Rise of the College Crybullies

Absolutely. Even the CBC admitted that they've omitted certain facts and use other forms of creative/selective editing in a story, and then claim it's in the "public interest". That's not for the media to decide though, especially when it comes to a source that exists primarily by sucking on the Canadian taxpayers' teats.

Precisely. If you can't depend on your national news service for quality journalism then there is something definitely broken. I used to have a lot of respect for the CBC but it has taken its place over the years as another also-ran in the quality race. Bad choice of words there, "quality" isn't so much an issue these days as "the appearance of quality".

I did a stint in the Arctic about a million years ago when CBC was the only choice, hell, you consedered yourself lucky if they were broadcasting in Inuktitut. Jim Henson was doing the morning show, a mantel he would soon pass on to Peter Gzowski. Now those were the good old days.
