HELP NEEDED: spot a CBC banner celebrating rise in stock market

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday September 03 2008 at 08:42 AM

Ever seen a “MARKET IN FREE RISE!” banner on the socialists-r-us network?  Here’s today’s:

(...And look!  They’re shocked!)

They report is as if they’re not part of it.  Their “FREEFALL” verbiage and “SLIDING MARKET” and their latest, appearing as I write this, “SELLOFF IS ON!”, and so on — appear as if the media—particularly this socialist-reliant one—are simple observers and not participants or even advocates of the “selloff”.  These are the same “Your Business” geniuses who haven’t stopped talking about “recessions” and even “depressions” at every possible opportunity (as I’ve also documented). 

Through the days of the historic rise in the stock market to daily record-breaking highs over the past few years, I’ve thoroughly documented, here, how the state-owed and socialism-reliant CBC utterly—almost completely—ignored it as best they could.  Then, when one day the market fell, as throughout history it of course does on its way up, they suddenly installed this fabulous gizmo which graphically highlighted what they must have been trying to portend as a stock market collapse.  I called it their “plunge-o-meter”.  It which was prominently placed in and remained in the upper right of the CBC Newsworld screen throughout their “news” broadcasting that day.

Then when the market resumed its historic record-breaking hikes again, the “plunge-o-meter” disappeared.  Not to be replaced with anything.  Not even coverage.  There never has been a “rise-o-meter”.  And possibly because I so ridiculed them, they never brought back the “plunge-o-meter” either. 

EXTRA FREAK-OUT SPECTACULAR!!!
Hey what are shares of “CBC” going for these days?  Oh right.  They’re state-owned and state-run like a Cuban-style communist outfit. 

SAY IT WITH ME
State-owned and state-run media should be banned in this country, and that notion enshrined in our constitution.

SAY IT WITH CTV
In almost hilarious juxtaposition to the socialism-reliant CBC, as I write this addendum, the private citizen-owned and run CTV Newsnet is reporting (over the banner “ECONOMIC UPS AND DOWNS”) that some investment experts in Canada suggest today that this is an EXCELLENT opportunity to invest in Canada and the stock market.  Don’t look for shares in “CBC”.

    Shutting down the Constantly Bashing Conservatives Nutwork would drive the unemployment rate to 22%. Dion can deploy those tax dollar stained hands to hoe rows of his state-owned and state-run GREEN SHIFT stuff to make Bio Diesel for fishermen, truckers, food crop growers, cattle producers and farmers who will be drop kicked by Dion’s Carbon Tax. We can then buy Carbon Tax credits for our RSPs saving money to drive to the welfare office in Beijing.

    Dear Editor, Toronto Sun

    Re: your poll of September 3rd/08

    “WHO DO YOU PLAN TO VOTE FOR IN THIS FALL’S FEDERAL ELECTION?”

    What kind of a media outlet are you?

    You can’t go asking straightforward questions of your readers like that.

    Didn’t you listen in journalism school?

    All questions MUST be couched in such a way as to confuse and obfuscate, thus leading many respondents to answer as you had hoped.

    Please refer to any and all poll questions by you competitors, for further direction.

    As you have noted so often Joel. They follow the leftist pattern that is obvious and tired. The CBC and fellow travellers are so predictable. Unfortunately brain numbed sheeple seem oblivious.
