I can't get over the CBC. What gall! Their weekly media show, Inside Media, just finished a panel where they bashed an outfit called Sinclair Broadcasting. This is the privately-owned station planning to show a documentary critical of John Kerry. Here's a description of the panel from the CBC's own site:
When news and views mix
And we'll ask if a conservative television company's decision to air a partisan documentary that looks at John Kerry's anti-war activism in the 1970's, is an attempt to rob the democratic candidate of his chance to win the White House. Democrats are crying foul. And Republicans? They think it's good journalism. Is this another example of partisan politics seeping into the world of TV journalism? We'll go inside.
Meanwhile, the Mother Corp tonight is showing a two-hour (2 hour!) French-made Bush bashing documentary. From the CBC website's own promotional copy:
If you're not yet having nightmares about the world being in the hands of a circle of crazed zealots, this should do it. The World According to Bush, a two-hour documentary about the inner-workings of the Bush administration, will frighten even the most hardened Washington-watchers. Fans and critics of the acclaimed Fahrenheit 9/11 will want to see this thoughtful and damning investigation of the U.S. administration.
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy here? It's unbelievable (Actually no, it's not. It's the CBC.)
