Juno News - CBC is Panicking

00:00:00.000 the media make the debates so narrow that they're almost irrelevant right so the fact that you do

00:00:05.920 have a bunch of kind of like wild maverick type reporters getting up there willing to ask tough

00:00:11.520 questions and to your point yeah actually mark currently handled pretty well that that kind of

00:00:14.800 showed a bit of his character which again is the point of the debate right so so we have these

00:00:19.520 this stuffy elite class of journalists that want to dictate what the country cares about

00:00:25.600 but the country doesn't really care about those things right and so i think it's just so important

00:00:29.520 that we have the media there and i think it's so telling how the legacy media reacted i have

00:00:33.920 a little montage here as you're going to enjoy this of just how the cbc reacted how the journalists

00:00:39.120 just melted down and they just couldn't believe their own eyes that free-thinking people were

00:00:44.400 allowed to ask questions uh let's roll this clip the post-debate scrums were dominated by right-wing

00:00:49.760 media groups who flooded leaders with questions on topics unrelated to the debate i think the

00:00:54.800 debate commission is going to need to be accountable for what's kind of happening here.

00:00:59.280 They've opened up the scrums and the press access to a bunch of groups who sometimes are registered

00:01:03.920 charities or have been defined by their owner as not actually a journalistic organization

00:01:08.560 or have been ruled by the federal court to not be a journalistic organization.

00:01:12.400 True North is a very right-wing website and there have been issues in the past with who gets

00:01:20.800 allowed into these scrums and who's allowed to ask questions of the leaders. The Debates Commission

00:01:26.080 was the one who decided that these people were allowed to come in and ask these kinds of questions.

00:01:31.840 At one point, when some of those last questions came up, I just checked, yeah, no, we're in Canada.

00:01:37.840 Imagine the chutzpah, that those losers, those government regime journalists, all taking a

00:01:43.600 paycheck from Karani, by the way, imagine the audacity that they get to decide what is or isn't

00:01:49.280 a relevant question what we i mean hey ask your own questions we'll ask our i would never say

00:01:55.980 how dare the cbc talk about global warming i would just roll my eyes but they they fancy

00:02:01.860 themselves something superior hey i saw an ad sort of an old-timey uh instagram channel of of things

00:02:10.280 in canadiana in the past and it was an ad in 1974 for cbc's the national and back in 1974 when

00:02:18.940 Canada's population was about half of what it is now. They were getting 2 million views a night.

00:02:25.160 They were boasting about this in their ad for The National. These days, the numbers are so low,

00:02:29.120 they don't release them. The last numbers I saw were that the CBC's The National gets about

00:02:33.680 250,000 views. So Canada's population has doubled, but the viewership of CBC has fallen from 2

00:02:40.900 million to 250,000. And I think that the smaller it gets, the more strident they become and the

00:02:49.620 more Canadians just don't even pay attention.
