Speaking Freely: Why I resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Strange thread here ignoring the very important points about the media Tara is making.<p>&#x27;Those of us on the inside know just how swiftly — and how dramatically — the politics of the public broadcaster have shifted.<p>It used to be that I was the one furthest to the left in any newsroom, occasionally causing strain in story meetings with my views on issues like the housing crisis. I am now easily the most conservative, frequently sparking tension by questioning identity politics. This happened in the span of about 18 months. My own politics did not change.<p>To work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity.&#x27;<p>I would argue the UK BBC &amp; US NPR are also in dire straits because of similar erosions of impartialness.<p>Neilsen demonstrates that the legacy media are dying fast, fewer and fewer people are tuned in as the broadcasting becomes more and more toxic. This is a good thing imo.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apnews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;coronavirus-pandemic-health-business-presidential-elections-arts-and-entertainment-7cc91db0950a8e7e7bcf50d5d23dfc26" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apnews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;coronavirus-pandemic-health-busin...</a>
