CBC Pravda

Don't ya just love it when Pravda proves its bias over and over again.

Once again, it's a darling in the CBC Ottawa bureau that does it.

First there's this report, filed by Janyce McGregor at 6:14 pm, October 26th:

Watch and judge for yourself

Then, the same reporter files this one at 9:57 am the next morning:

About that blood

and then finally, later the same day, she files this report at 5:55 pm:

Blood on the video

Let's review these reports, shall we.

In the first report, "Watch and judge for yourself", she says:
"The good thing about being broadcast journalists is that sometimes we can stay quiet and let the tape tell the story."
Right, Janyce. No need to do any actual investigative journalism, is there. After all, when the protesters themselves hand you a video that tells their side of the story, it has to be taken without question. Any CBC journo knows that.

Then she suggests the "looks on the MPs faces" in one of the video clips in her article is supposed to be telling. Telling of what she gives us no idea, but I think it's safe to presume she feels that when protesters begin shouting the moment an MP from the Conservative side begins answering a question from Jack Laytoon, they are not supposed to have somewhat annoyed expressions on their faces as they are looking up into the gallery where a ruckus that was clearly meant to disrupt the Conservative MP immediately developed.

Keep going, Janyce. We know the CBC Pravda is officially opposed to any political party to the right of the Natural Governing Party of Canada, that in the past has generously provided funding for your sorry-assed CBC salaries.

While she admits that the cacophony began as soon as Jack Laytoon had finished his question, it appears she opted to make no conjecture, never mind investigation, about any possible connection between that little factoid and the "yelling" that ensued. After all, the NDP have never gone to bed with the Libs before, now have they. Very dutifully done, my girl. I'm sure a promotion is on its way.

In the second article, after it has been revealed that the protester had no blood on his face prior to his interview with CBC journo, Evan Solomon, but was all bloodied up at the time the Solomon interview took place, she says:
"As those of you who read my tagged-on comment to my raw video post yesterday already know... re-viewing some of the CBC's footage later last evening revealed this discrepancy.
I'm not going to speculate further about it, because I think the onus is on the protesters to explain this."
Of course not, Janyce. After all, you let them do your job for you the day before and now that your "speculations" concerning their video have been somewhat bloodied themselves, why would you not blame them for the blood on your face, too? I mean, really. Shame on them for not doing your job properly.

In the final article, she at least has the courage to post an audio clip from another CBC reporter who actually did some real investigative journalism. I wonder if Janyce will be relocated to the Toronto bureau where she can get "more coaching" from Krista Erickson? We all know that CBC Toronto is completely bias free, now don't we.

Actually, the funniest part of this whole story is Saskboy's hysterical reaction to it. Gotta get some greens in Parliament one way or another. Useful idiot protesters will have to do.

And by the way, doesn't that photo of the protester with the bloody face make him out to be barely old enough to shave? I wonder if he knows what a ballot box is.

One thing you gotta love about Jean Chretien. He knew how to handle idiotic protesters:

UPDATE: BWHAHAHAHAHA!! This one is from SDA. Geeze. You miss all the fun when you're on the road and way from the 'puter.
