of this nightmare. It only takes a few minutes to lay out an honest realistic report on the truth of this traitor. Canada has to inform America how screwed we are. Depressing.

CBC is a government broadcasting network which supplements its budget with advertising. Interestingly, after seeing how badly the need for advertising revenues has destroyed American news programs, they've just asked the Trudeau government if they can have $400,000,000 more in funding to go COMMERCIAL FREE. Like PBS or BBC.

I'm thinking that what they might compromise on is the model of eliminating commercials from news programs, but leaving commercials in their TV shows. That would certainly take the pressure off of the News division to report on sensationalist issues, rather than real news.
