If you’re one of those taxpayers who bemoan the billion dollars plus of annual subsidies lavished on the CBC, you’ll no doubt enjoy Tara Henley’s resignation letter, published in the National Post yesterday.
Oddly enough, her letter largely echos points I made months ago; CBC explains why it's going down the toilet.
It’s been disappointing to see how so many professional journalists have willingly gone along with the CBC’s embrace of a supposed “cultural and social revolution,” invisible to all but the most earnestly “woke.”
Disappointing, but not surprising. The profession has taken a beating in the internet era, and a CBC paycheque isn’t something many journo’s are willing to put at risk.
They were, no doubt, all idealists at one time.
But that was then.
Today, when faced with the choice of defending journalistic integrity or making their mortgage payment, with rare exceptions, they choose to keep their home.
It’s an understandable choice, but let’s stop calling the CBC’s abject propagandizing of everything from foreign policy, to vaccination mandates, to race relations, “journalism.”
