Poll question: IF you could only have one of these as a news source
Which would you choose. You would never get to choose another one nor watch another one.

4. Of course, you can!!
CBC has put on some good programming relating to Bush and Cheney. The one I saw last night (a repeat) was about Hollywood and War--very revealing.

But I'll tell you, if the Conservatives get in at the next election, I think you can kiss the CBC good-bye. CTV is the Canadian station of choice for the business set. Walk into any bank with a tv set and you'll find it set on CTV. Anyway, that's been my experience.

5. Yeah but CBC still has some fans on Bay Street
and parliament still listens to Bay Street (doesn't hurt that alot of people at CBC in Toronto have spouses who are on Bay Street). Also, the Cons couldn't kill CBC without angering seniors, where the Cons get alot of their support.

Don't know what I'm worried about though. The biggest scandal to hit parliament since John A. McDonalds railroad deals and the Conservatives managed to LOSE ground in the polls.

7. Wavered between Randi & Rachel, but settled for Rachel...
Her "soft underbelly" stories alone tell me more than I get from the MSM. And more than once her "soft underbelly" stories have later bubbled to the surface to become a MSM headline.
