This is hilarious. Here’s a CBC employee {They used to be called ‘journalists’} complaining about the fact that whenever the CBC covers ‘aboriginal issues’, their audience declines. In their typically-blinkered ideological fashion, they have decided that it’s Canadians’ fault – for just not caring about ‘aboriginal issues’.
It never seems to enter their politically-biased heads that people aren’t interested in the CBC’s reactionary, anti-Canadian, completely one-sided version of this ongoing story!
Our ‘national broadcaster’ — supposedly dedicated to fostering Canadian unity — has instead created the segregationist ‘CBC Aboriginal’.
Response in their ‘Comments’ section was so opposed to their one-sided coverage that the CBC has now banned comments altogether on ANY CBC postings concerning aboriginals! And these clowns blame Canadians, rather than their own reactionary bias, for the diminished audience:
“… the audience isn’t really very interested in reading about ‘indigenous’ issues…
“I’ve learned that one guaranteed way to shrink my numbers is to write about Israel/Palestine {Another issue where the CBC’s bias is extreme}, or, to an even greater extent, ‘indigenous’ issues…
“After a column I wrote about the new {MM‘I’W} inquiry was largely ignored by readers, CBC Executive Vice-president Heather Conway told me weak numbers will not change our determination to make ‘indigenous’ issues a coverage priority:
“It’s disheartening, but doesn’t change my personal view that this is a — if not the — central issue facing Canadians this century.” {But should your ‘personal view’ be affecting news coverage? Is that not thoroughly unprofessional??}
“So. Why the indifference?
“Well, an obvious partial answer is plain racism {and they’re not talking about aboriginal racism… ever…}.
“‘CBC’s website, which is heavily invested in publishing reader comments, has chosen to turn them off where any story about ‘indigenous’ issues is concerned.
“In announcing that decision last November, CBC’s Senior Director of Digital News, Brodie Fenlon, wrote that
“These stories draw a disproportionate number of comments that cross the line … some comments are clearly hateful and vitriolic, some are simply ignorant. And some appear to be hate disguised as ignorance (i.e. racist sentiments expressed in benign language {?}).”
“Fenlon called the decision a temporary measure, saying CBC hoped to reopen comments on ‘indigenous’-related stories in about six weeks.
“As of now, nine months later, comments remain switched off…”

Here is the same employee’s ‘unbiased journalism’:
“Governments have broken treaties, grabbed ever more land, forcibly displaced entire communities…and have effectively kidnapped generations of children, handing them over to be raised by non-Native families or reprogrammed as Christians in obscene “residential schools”.

And they blame Canadians for not being interested?
December, 2015:
“This week, ‘CBC News’ has temporarily closed comments on ‘indigenous’ stories.
“It was not an easy decision to make. It took a lot of deliberation, including extensive discussion among managers and {only} ‘indigenous’ staff members…
“Now, CBC management has tasked a group of ‘indigenous’ and ‘non’-‘indigenous’ staff members to develop guidelines and suggestions for reopening comments in the future.
“In the meantime, we wanted to share with the public the kinds of comments {except for aboriginals} that have been posted on our news websites…”

From 2013:
In January, CBC’s ‘Cross Country Check-Up’ did a feature on
“Does the meeting between aboriginal leaders and the Prime Minister mark the start of a new relationship?”
Their panel was composed of 5 ‘experts’: a Canadian Press Bureau Chief, an aboriginal consultant, and 3 aboriginal representatives. I guess that just about covers a balanced representation of 34 million Canadians, right?
So, where are Peter Best and Christie Blatchford and Tom Flanagan and Frances Widdowson on this panel — never mind Chief Louis and Anthony Sowan…?
The week before, the subject was “What do you think of the ‘Idle No More’ movement?”
That panel of 5 included the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, 2 journalists, and 2 Indian activists — an ‘Idle No More’ organizer, and a ‘Race-Based’ segregated fisheries advocate, who was also on the next week’s panel.
Why does our national taxpayer-funded broadcasting company not think it necessary to provide balanced political coverage?
And just how one-sided must a state broadcaster be before it is considered a propaganda organ, rather than a news outlet?
From the CBC mandate:
“contribute to shared national consciousness and identity”
