Rob Eh Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, RupertKBD said: Everyone know that CBC receives government funding. Just as it has with every Conservative government for many decades. However, I would like to see your proof that CTV also receives government funding, because the evidence for that claim doesn't seem to be as easy to find as you claim. The only reference I was able to find, said that you were incorrect: https://globalnews.ca/news/5328558/canada-media-fund/ Funny, this was at the top of my google result. Maybe you have a liberal browser? Just google, "Does CTV get government funding?" The company has received at least $122 million in federal wage subsidies, and at the end of 2020 had $3.8 billion of available liquidity.

I did, and then I actually read some stuff behind the headlines just in case I wanted to know what I was talking about. The Canada Media Fund (CMF, French: Fonds des médias du Canada - FMC) is a public-private partnership founded on April 1, 2010, by the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian cable industry.[1] It is used to fund the creation of original Canadian content and support the Canadian media industry. The fund is composed of contributions made by Canadian broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs)—as mandated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)[2]—and the federal government. It funds roughly $366 million annually.[3] Feb 9, 2021 — The company has received at least $122 million in federal wage subsidies, and at the end of 2020 had $3.8 billion of available liquidity. https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ctv-cuts-hitting-every-part-of-canada-825302980.html Kevin Crull: The media subsidy myth The Canada Media Fund, tax incentives, and other funding mechanisms don’t go to broadcasters: They go to independent producers https://nationalpost.com/opinion/kevin-crull-the-media-subsidy-myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do get money? Nowhere did it specify it was covid bailout money, be honest. 4 minutes ago, RupertKBD said: They're getting it so they can pump Trudeau's tires.... ....according to Skippy and Dippy.... I wouldn't gloat just yet. I took you to the wood shed on this one. You just said they didn't receive money but now admit they do but it goes directly to the producer. Why does that matter? It's still a subsidy and it shows in the bias in which they report. Money talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget that this was the post that started this whole thing: CTV and CBC recieve a huge amount of money from the liberals. It's nothing more than a bribe. Mainstream media are all liberal sheep at this point. Edited January 16 by Satchmo typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) I think lost on a lot of people in this thread is that the Liberal Party is more centrist than anything else--hardly 'communist' as they've been described. The dialogue gets confused. Does 'liberal sheep' mean left-wing sheep or centrist sheep, for example? Also, those cops from the Rebel News arrest video should lose their jobs. Bump into a guy and arrest him for assault? lmao. Edited January 16 by 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the destroyer of worlds Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Was the CBC a right wing rag when the CONservatives held the purse strings under ole Steven? They even had a majority government most of the time. Someone needs to do some research and open a social studies textbook. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without liberal bias? So a conservative echo chamber where only right wing views are espoused or approved? The thing about politics is that people will have different beliefs and they will not always agree with your own. That doesn't mean shutting them out or up is the right thing to do. If you refuse to hear or accept the alternate points of view it means you're willing to silence your enemies to avoid hearing their opinions because they don't agree with your own 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
