<div dir="ltr">I have to agree Allan and Art the CBC regrettably has descended into being nothing more than a sounding board for the government party line rather than an instrument of critical journalism. It is very disturbing that there is not more resistance in the ranks of its journalists. However, the silence and overt hostility towards Julian Assange by all mainstream media is a good indicator of where they stand.<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><font size="2">Greg</font></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jan 9, 2022 at 10:38 AM Allan Baker via craic <<a href="mailto:craic@lists.integralshift.ca">craic@lists.integralshift.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Thanks Art;<div><br></div><div>Tara Henley’s experiences at the CBC mirror my thoughts about what I have been hearing.

<div><p>We discussed today at craic the loss of journalism. It is
probably more understandable that real journalism is on the wane
in private media organizations owned by Blackrock and Vanguard.
It seems that our public broadcasting system has also been
captured by these same organizations. Tara Henley describes the
transformation that has taken place in the CBC. Also some other
posts on media take over by the billionaire class.</p><p><a href="https://tarahenley.substack.com/p/speaking-freely?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">https://tarahenley.substack.com/p/speaking-freely?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web</a></p>
