CBC’s “reporter” Neil Macdonald on Sarah Palin: Best at “talking about hunting moose”

Written by Joel Johannesen on Thursday September 11 2008 at 03:18 PM

Don’t reporters report the news, generally speaking?  When did the state-owned state-employed CBC’s reporters transform into purveyors of their inevitably left-wing or far-left-wing opinions about things?  And how exactly does this benefit Canada?  How is it that Canada “needs” this?

image Here’s how the state-owned CBC’s ostensible reporter, Neil Macdonald, “reported” when asked what he can tell Canadians about this evening’s Sarah Palin interview by the left-wing (but not nearly as left-wing) NBC network:

Neil Macdonald: Well I thought I was listening to someone who has spent her life in the incubator of a sparsely occupied, you know, remote state dealing with the parochial concerns of a small town mayor which is what she was until not too long ago ...  it was almost as if Charlie Gibson was toying with her ...

... Really what this woman is best at doing is being a populist and you know spouting campaign boiler plate and talking about hunting moose and riding on snowmobiles and bringing “change”, without defining what change is which is what a lot of politicians do nowadays so you know…

Asked how it might “play” tomorrow (as if that’s a fact-based, news report-related issue to ask a reporter rather than an opinion columnist or, say, a Heather Mallick):

Neil Macdonald: Well you know, uh uh, my guess is that people who think she is a uh, a, you know, a wonderful multi-tasking super-mom salt-of-the-Earth person will think the same thing tomorrow—people tend to hear what they want to hear; and the people that think she’s a glassy-eyed fundamentalist Bible-thumper will think the same thing tomorrow…



Next time maybe they’ll ask Heather Mallick for the latest “news” on Sarah Palin.  At least it would be funnier.
