About Me

A stubble jumper is a prairie farmer. I'm from Saskatchewan and my dad was a farmer, so the name is apt. "Redneck" needs no explanation. It's anyone who disagrees with a lunatic leftie. My blog is mostly about the Middle East but other issues also catch my eye and get me going. I monitor comments to keep out trolls and lunatic lefties. Anyone who is zealously anti-American and anti-democracy in the Middle East is NOT welcome.

Thats a good rant!
THE CBC HAS NO CREDIBILITY
It was on the CNN bandwagon in demonizing Serbia
I am one Canadian who was never duped by the CBC’s coverage of the war in the Balkans. I majored in European history and knew ALL about the Croatians and their sympathies during the Second World War. And I knew about the politics of the Croatians growing up in Vancouver. I present these pictures just as one example of the way the CBC has always been, for me, an infallible guide as to what is NOT happening in the world. With commercial media, people understand that vested interests play a hand in distorting information. But state broadcasting, especially in Canada, has a mythic and iconic status as an “objective” voice of the people which looks at the world with professional detachment and binds our nation together with a shared commitment to the same values of decency and fair play. For that reason, it is more dangerous because it disarms our skepticism and blinds us to the fact that it too is beholden to vested interests.
If the CBC can participate in a lie about the former Yugoslavia, it can do so on other occasions. It has no credibility in any discussion pertaining to the environment, to the issues that underpin it, like overpopulation, which is not even on their radar screen. Their coverage of the anti-immigrant riots in South Africa, France and Sydney, Australia were a case in point. Take your pick. I am still waiting to hear what they have to say about the Muslim youths who rioted and torched buildings in a Stockholm suburb this week. No doubt they will give us the usual PC Reuters line. You know. An insensitive white, once Christian state that despite providing these youths with the benefits of the most generous welfare state in the world was nevertheless guilty of “systemic racism” because the newcomers were not yet employed in the top echelons of every major institution in the country. No mention will be made of the fact that Sweden was doing just fine 25 years ago without them or that the subject of any discussion about such anti-foreign riots should not be about the ‘racism’ of the host society but the motives of the people who were responsible for mass immigration. The question of why the rioters are upset always seems to foreclose any inquiry into why domestic workers should be upset with them. Could it be because state television producers and the journalists who do their bidding are never among the domestic workers whose jobs are displaced by low-wage imports? A once homogeneously Scandinavian society is now suddenly 11% foreign-born, thanks to the cheap labour corporate agenda. But will the light of public broadcasting ever be shone on this agenda, rather than its manifestations---the cultural friction between host and immigrant enclaves? Don’t hold your breath.
That we should subsidize this government make-work project for the PC graduates of the cookie-cutter journalism schools in Canada is outrageous. The burden of proof is on those who say that it can be reformed or democratized. If it can, get on with it. If not, dismantle it and distribute the savings to taxpayers like me who can use the money to defray the cost of my internet services and book purchases, where I can find reliable information. Tim
