CBC: it's good enough for Gore
Al Gore's dream of running a liberal cable news network is now a reality, with the purchase of Newsworld International (via Drudge, Neale).
Now the rumours about this move have been around for some time, so this isn't news in itself. But this statement piqued my interest.
Following its acquisition by Gore's company, INdTV Holdings, the programming will continue to be provided by CBC, it was announced Tuesday during the national Cable and Television Association convention in New Orleans.(emphasis is my own)
So the CBC produces programming good enough for a network with an unabashed partisan agenda?
Oh wait that's not news.
No wonder conservatives are "un-Canadian".

Crush, kill, destroy!
Drive a tank through the front door of the CBC and march the employees out at bayonet point.
Make them know that the end has come once and for all.
Sell the rest for scrap.
If I were in charge, it would happen 1 second after I took the oath of office.
Blitzkrieg tactics - do it as fast as possible.
