I didn't take the position that I get to decide what's valuable or interesting enough to get on CBC. If I did, Jordan Peterson's views wouldn't be first on the list, obviously - I just finished calling him a total loon. My whole point was that he clearly has a large audience in Canada and elsewhere, and it's therefore reasonable to ask why there isn't any discussion of him on public broadcasting. Your response was that he's not worthy. Well, his myriad fans disagree, and your dismissal of what they want discussed as "idiotic" is far less important than you seem to think. If someone
was going to be appointed to decide what ideas are "idiotic" and not worth the time to think about, it probably wouldn't be you.
