The CBC is utter garbage these days. Hearing their "journalists" blather is like listening to people failed out of the CIA's propaganda training, can't even hide their bullshit. I especially love it when they're interviewing intelligent, thoughtful people and the interviewer starts arguing with them like a butt hurt 9 year old.
Your comment applies to this shameful cbc clip:
https://youtu.be/laUPeXZlPEg
Today I got over my aversion to TV news bullshit and watched that clip. I thought was much better than anything you'd normally see in such a context. Meslin was effective in getting his point across, despite the ridiculous doofus he was talking to, who was made to look foolish to everyone who was paying attention at that moment.
The way they (all TV news) normally distort and misrepresent things is by not inviting such people to participate at all. Bravo to the CBC for doing slightly better than the usual standard on that occasion.
Note: the linked video was from 9 years ago
Take that info with what you will
It still applies today, PR gets a lot of bad faith opponents.
Okay I have one thing to say: What the actual fuck?
This is a very good example of what I'm talking about. Why'd Hanomansing even have him on? Might as well have done the whole demonstration himself instead of talking over him. Every time they have a guest on wants to replace the RCMP in any province with a provincial force, the hosts nearly have a melt down similar.
