Yes, I responded to your drive-by with a drive-by.

It's no surprise that anti-cbc sentiment is more prominent in Alberta than in other Canadian provinces, as Albertans have a more negative view of their place in Canada and of the Federal government than basically any other province with the exception of maybe Quebec.

It's no surprise that anti-CBC sentiment is more prevalent here, because it mirrors anti-Liberal party sentiment. The average Albertan is more conservative than the average Canadian, and thus more out of step with the CBC's average positioning.

As an old vestige of the reform party movement, the anti-cbc schtick just doesn't have the traction in other areas of Canada. I've been hearing albertans talk about shutting down the cbc for more than 20 years. I don't think I've ever heard it in BC, even in bum#### nowhere's ville.

No one's talking about shutting down the CBC. I've certainly heard the sentiment that the CBC is a mouthpiece for the liberal party in BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario, everywhere really.

The conversative mindset is to be distrusting of government. That's easily identifiable in Canada's conservative stronghold of Alberta.

Depends who's in power, unsurprisingly.

So it is not surprising that it would be a conservative albertan on an alberta centric message board that would compare the country's national broadcaster to a borderline gossip column.

I'm assuming you're talking about Zarley, who as he's noted was more talking about form than ideology.

The counter to CBC in Canada is post media, not exactly a left-leaning consortium of newspapers.

Obviously true in respect of the Sun papers, which are basically just trash. Somewhat less so with regard to things like the Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal. It seems to me more that they're looking to capitalize on market niches rather than trying to espouse a political ideology to the masses.

I mean you're from BC, can you honestly suggest that the Vancouver Sun or the Province are bastions of right wing propaganda?

All 4 major Albertan newspapers endorsed Prentice for premiere during the last election, as a direct order from PostMedia's ownership in Toronto.

The fact that you think this is evidence of right wing bias is telling in and of itself. The realistic options for Premier during the last election were Notley, Prentice and Brian Jean. The fact that they endorsed Prentice rather than Notley suggests they're right wing? I mean, I'm not even arguing that the ownership is or isn't right wing itself, I don't have an opinion on that. This just seems like a terrible example.

At this point, not acknowledging this reality may be cause for concern for posters who feel they are impartial arbiters of truth.

If there's one thing that's certain, it's that you're not the guy we should look to determine which posters are or aren't impartial.
