PTBC J-Log

A conservative OPINION blog --with bite. OPINION by Joel Johannesen.

Friday, April 21, 2006

Headline: CBC lays off 79 staff.

Written by Joel Johannesen on Friday April 21 2006 at 06:41 AM

Public reaction:  Yawn.

Location of headline:  Only on CBC.ca. 

Level of vanity and sense of self-importance at the CBC:  Limitless. Hideous.

Word of the day: Solipsistic.

When a company I owned and ran layed-off a bunch of people, the state-employed news hounds at the state-run CBC didn’t send a crew out to report on it, nor even mention it at the multi-gazillion-dollar taxpayer-funded state-run CBC.ca which competes against private Canadian citizens not unlike me.  Nor did they when a company I worked for layed off 189 staff.  Perhaps it’s not important when it’s not them.  Or government employees. 

So self-involved are they and with such an overblown and exaggerated estimate of their own value that they saw fit to make that (non)story one of the top stories listed in their state-run web site, CBC.ca, yesterday.  It was listed in the number three slot yesterday on the front page of the state-run CBC.ca people’s web site when my wife sent it to me in disgust. 

It remains even today, after much news has occurred from all over, as one of their top stories —which of course it is in their minds only.

This is the news they think is important for Canadians. 

Watch for the special on “The Passionate Eye” early next month when they’ll also be examining Stephen Harper’s belly in a segment they’re calling “It’s just plain big!”.

• If you think this site is of no value, then don't pay anything for it, and it will fade into the sunset. That's capitalism at work.
