CBC - Chinese Broadcorping Castration
"Reprehensible" is indeed a good description for the CBC's action of pulling a documentary on the Falun Gong Tuesday night.
They've had many months to review this piece, which they commissioned and paid for. But when the Chinese Embassy called, the Mother Corp folded its bloomers and disappeared.
Shame on these people.
Democracy? Journalism?
How about cowardice? Creepiness?
This is a tried, old brand. It has been a has been for about 30 years now.
Try radical surgery.

It seems like you have a lot of anger towards everything.I do agree with a lot of points you make ,but there should be a fine line with erogant wrighting and just speaking your opinion . Dont get me wrong you absolutly make good points but Im very surprised some one with your experience is so ignorant . I would love to see you back on the air ,but I dont think a bright man yet closed minded person like you would be back .
CBC denies Chinese pressure in pulling film:

The film got pulled due to inaccuracies. For example the organ harveting allegation David Kilgour is promoting has been discredited by multiple undercover investigations.

Bobby,
Thank you for this diligent commentary. I'll look at all the links.
I add, however, that denial doesn't guarantee the truth.
