The guy is a idiot. The CBC should broadcast news with substance and accuracy neither are ever present from Conservative dialogue these days.

I also don't know how CBC could lose this one since they probably have hundreds of articles in the last few years showing they go out of their way to find a Conservative to provide their idiotic opinion.

He said he felt shows like Power & Politics would just have Liberal talking points on all the time, and that as a network, the CBC needed balance.

"There were repeated episodes of Conservatives being blocked. I mean, I have the G-chats right here. I said in terms of getting folks on, that we need to have balance," Dhanraj said.

Agreed, there's a confusion between "balance" and "clout". When media just invite people based on right or left clout, audiences lose in terms of quality information. We end up receiving echo chambers on the airwaves because these clout chasers repeat talking points at us. Clout chasers in turn just want to maintain their own reputation and this loop turns into a toxic signals circle.

It would suit the interests of corporate and right wing elements for him to advance this case, both in court and in the media. Maybe they are taking some of the financial burden off his virtuous pursuit of truth...

Yes it's pretty in line with the what they do these days. He loses they rage over the institutional people out to get them, he wins they'll rage over institutional people out to get them.
