  • Now that corporate media are kowtowing, gotta get rid of those pesky public broadcasters. It's absurd to think of any other country where this shit would fly. Killing, say, the BBC would not go over well.

    • North of the frontier defunding the CBC sometimes comes up too unfortunately. The conservatives serve us the same arguments: accusations of CBC being partisan and of being radical left.
