Travis Dalraj resigned his position at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and on his way out is blowing the whistle on the obvious political bias inside the CBC. In a letter to his colleagues, he lays out the evidence that the CBC is biased in favor of the liberal party line.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. A big political bomb was dropped on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation this week
00:00:07.480that is having massive ripple effects in the Canadian media space.
00:00:11.800A CBC News host resigned his position and on his way out is blowing the whistle on the obvious political bias inside the CBC.
00:00:21.720Now, you and I both knew that they were biased for decades at this point.
00:00:25.940The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation basically acts as a liberal party front group.
00:00:31.520But there are a lot of Canadians out there who still think the CBC and other mainstream sources like CTV News and Global,
00:00:39.040well, they're neutral because they generally try and tell both sides of the story.
00:00:43.400The most insidious part about outlets like the CBC is they pretend like they're neutral,
00:00:48.980so people truly think when they come to a more pro-liberal conclusion, they came to that conclusion themselves.
00:00:55.240When, in fact, there's a very clear breadcrumb trail being laid out by the CBC to try and push more people to agreeing with the liberal party line.
00:01:05.220Yes, they will cite both the conservative side and the liberal side of the story,
00:01:09.220but you'll notice that whenever they cover the conservative side, they bring in experts to say,
00:01:13.580well, I'm not sure if that's entirely true, or they cover it with a little more skepticism.
00:01:17.560Whereas whenever the liberals say something, they act as almost stenographers at times,
00:01:22.980just saying what the liberals said, and that's it, come to your own conclusion, which is fine,
00:01:27.200but they don't do it for the conservatives.
00:01:29.040You're never supposed to come to your own conclusion with the conservative.
00:01:32.060They always slip a few things in to poison the well to make sure that you make a conclusion in the right direction.
00:01:37.740But on the show today, I want to read you the letter to Travis Dalraj's colleagues on his way out of the CBC,
00:01:46.340because I think this is going to facilitate or necessitate a lot of investigations in the House of Commons
00:01:53.000into the way the CBC has been using the more than a billion taxpayer dollars it gets every year
00:01:58.680to basically propagandize in favor of the liberals.
00:02:02.720But before I get into it, I just want to remind you,
00:02:05.880hey, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber.
00:02:10.960We are trying to get, as I always say, to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this year,
00:07:32.680Sorry, I have to stop sharing the last one.
00:07:34.520And by the way, I should tell you guys this while I'm bringing this up on screen.
00:07:38.140I'm actually bringing in a whiteboard for when I do polling videos so I can actually write stuff down and show you guys different ideas I have.
00:08:01.040It is not people just saying things from the outside because they've noticed a certain ratio of conservatives to liberals that doesn't feel balanced,
00:08:08.600or the conservatives they do have on are very red Tory-ish, people who don't actually believe in many conservative values other than the fact that they've once worked for the conservatives.
00:08:20.340It's like Fred DeLore types, people who are there as tokens, who are not really the best representation of what a conservative believes.
00:08:27.120But that is the fake balance that you get on things like, I think it's CBC Power Play, or I think it's Power in Politics that that David Cochran guy hosts.
00:08:35.940It never feels like you're actually watching a conservative show.
00:08:39.200You watch it wanting to pull your hair out, saying, why doesn't the conservative guy on the panel say this?
00:08:47.040It's not designed to actually give people the conservative side of the story.
00:08:51.140You have weak conservative voices who capitulate to liberal narratives, and no actual conservative person or someone on the right is able to come on and actually give you the real take.
00:09:02.060So then CBC viewers who truly believe it's neutral just conclude that the conservatives don't really have any good arguments or that outside of maybe some commerce stuff, the conservatives, you know, are just are like out there or whatever, because the only people they platform are people like Andrew Coyne, who outside of a few commerce issues is a leftist.
00:09:21.320He is just a full-on leftist on social issues who is big, his most, like, the thing he does the most is condemn other conservatives for saying conservative things, because he's not conservative.
00:09:31.120I want to get into Andrew Coyne, but the man's basically a communist, and when I say that, I mean that all he does is protects institutions.
00:09:39.440So if the liberals do something socialistic, and it's around long enough, well, he's going to defend that socialistic institution.
00:09:46.220He doesn't actually care about the size of government.
00:09:48.800He just cares about defending the integrity of the government, because I guess that's a conservative thing to do, not fighting for liberty and smaller government and better spending in government, lower taxes.
00:09:59.200That's all passe to him these days, apparently.
00:10:02.880But now I want to move on to another story that I think highlights just how bad the bias is right now in the media.
00:10:11.040This is a story that CTV News is reporting, and I think you guys all know what this is really about, right, immediately.
00:10:18.460CTV News, they punish people for nothing.
00:10:21.580Family of Canadian women detained by ICE pleads for help to bring her home.
00:10:25.560And I sit here wondering, and ICE has not been able to put anything out yet because they don't just dump people's personal information just because something because of newsworthy.
00:10:34.780What do you think she did to get arrested by ICE?
00:10:36.940Now, I know there's been dozens of people each month or so who are Canadian who've been arrested by ICE, but so far to this point, to the present point, there's only been like a couple people released because it was a mistaken identity or something like that, and they were released as soon as possible.
00:10:54.000What do you think these people are being arrested for?
00:10:57.280Trump's trying to crack down on those dirty Canadians?
00:10:59.780There are millions of Canadians who travel to the United States every year.
00:11:03.180If the U.S. wanted to just start mass locking up Canadians to try and, like, club Canada into doing I don't know what, it wouldn't be that hard for them to arrest hundreds.
00:11:13.320The fact that they've arrested 55, that's the story, that they've arrested 55 Canadians since, like, I don't know, the end of June or something like that, who cares?
00:11:30.740And again, like the last guy the media freaked out about who died in prison in Florida, who hadn't been in Canada since 1988 and was a drug dealer,
00:11:39.340I'm not exactly confident that anyone else who's being arrested just didn't do nothing, because we keep seeing this, and you're just supposed to assume, oh, my goodness,
00:11:46.960probably Trump and Vance went down there personally just to, like, ruin this person's vacation or something like that, probably leaving out that this person's not in the U.S. legally or they're committing crimes and need to be removed or something like that.
00:12:00.480Canada, for some reason, Canada, we're just a country where we think the enforcement of law is fascism, which is why we now have 17,500 criminals in Canada, people who had criminal records that Canada was aware about,
00:12:16.720but over the last 10 years, they have let them immigrate into Canada.
00:12:20.840That should be an immediate no, you are not allowed to come here.
00:12:24.220We've even had a famous case where we have an international dispute with India because of the assassination of Harjit Singh Nidjar,
00:12:32.020who himself was a criminal who shouldn't have been in Canada, actually falsified immigration papers a few times, got caught most of the times,
00:12:39.800and then was still let into the country because our immigration system makes no sense.
00:12:45.100And that was a case from the early 2000s. And the government, I'm not sure if it's Martin or Harper, should also have been held accountable for that,
00:12:53.220because that's a failure that's obvious. That is everyone along the way of letting that guy in would have known he shouldn't have been in,
00:13:00.560but eventually someone stamped his paperwork and said, oh, okay, you've harassed us enough, we'll let you in,
00:13:04.680even though you're like a, you promote terrorism, and you're obviously a shady dude, and you've committed crimes before, but whatever.
00:13:13.460So, yeah, this, this is, I'm pairing this story up with the CBC bias story.
00:13:20.620This is common in Canada. Anti-Americanism, anti-conservative type messaging,
00:13:26.020always reporting on every whisper of a scandal inside the Conservative Party, which is fine to report on,
00:13:31.300but they don't do it for the left. There's never, there, who, is anyone covering the fact that there is an actual full-on anti-Semitic communist
00:13:40.460running in the NDP leadership? Yves Engels? Is anyone covering that? Not really.
00:13:45.920You'll probably get some, you know, independent media covering that.
00:13:49.400No one on the left is going to cover that from the CBC, or Press Progress, or any of those anti-hate networks are not going to cover it,
00:13:55.120because it's a lefty, they don't give a crap. You know, are you going to get anyone, like,
00:13:59.260actually looking into, you know, misappropriation of money under the liberals, or are they only going to do it if the story blows up?
00:14:06.620That's what happens. They will cover liberal scandals in the CBC and in CTV and global.
00:14:11.800It has to be a big scandal first. It has to be unignorable.
00:14:15.280They can't make excuses anymore, and they'll cover it as long as they have to, and they'll drop it very quickly.
00:14:20.460There is a reason why Black Locks Reporter and other outlets like that are just FOIP requesting things all day long
00:14:27.480and constantly churning up stories of misappropriation of funds, of, like, massive corruption in the government,
00:14:34.240that the CBC and global and all these outlets have way more money to actually pursue, but they never do it.
00:14:39.700Black Locks Reporter, what they're like, 10 people are doing it all. It's ridiculous.
00:14:43.820So this is why we need to defund the CBC, if you hadn't already come to that conclusion yourself.
00:14:49.700The CBC is, like, what do we need them for? I know Mark Carney is giving them another $150 million.
00:14:55.620I'm not sure if I already mentioned that in the show, but he's giving them another $150 million taxpayer dollars every single year,
00:15:02.800because I guess we need to defend ourselves from American media by producing a bunch more mediocre sitcoms,
00:15:09.200like, North of North that nobody's ever actually going to watch, and yeah, I'll get good reviews,
00:15:13.420because the only people who watch it are woke critics who are going to give it marks because it's something.
00:15:18.960I don't know. Indigenous people are in it. That means it's good.
00:15:21.820I'm going to eventually do an entire review of that terrible show.
00:15:25.060It's technically also a Netflix show, but it's, like, the CBC and the Aboriginal People's Television Network and Netflix doing it.
00:15:32.840But I've watched three episodes of that show, North of North, which is, like, it's, like, Parks and Recreation plus Corner Gas taking place in none of that.
00:15:41.700And it's horrible. It's not funny. I'm not going into the show trying to hate it.
00:15:46.220If it was good, I would be, like, wow, the CBC actually has a good show,
00:15:50.460and it's actually telling about how much people don't trust the CBC that they didn't even check it out.
00:15:55.400The show, it's on Netflix. You can go watch it if you want. The show is bad.
00:15:59.900The show, I'm going to, again, do a whole review on it, but the characters are hateful.
00:16:05.300You can tell if someone's a villain or a hero based on their race.
00:16:11.420Legitimately, here's something about North of North.
00:16:13.800If they want to denote a character is dumb or a bad person, not up to the moral high level of wokeness,
