CBC vs. CTV Election Blogs

CBC has a blog on its site, covering the blogs covering the election. Its a one man show written by John Bowman. It has no links to any other blog sites nor does it seem interested in adding any other blog comments. John seems to have penchant for ONLY commenting about rightwhingnut bloggers. Do I detect a bias here? Could it be that the CBC long hated for its supposed liberal/left bias by the rightwhingnuts is sucking up to the right?

On the other hand CTV's Election Blog is written and edited, by a collective! Bill Doskoch who has his own very good blog. Also CTV Parlimentary Reporter David Akin, who also has his own blog, and writers Angela Mulholland, Corey Bellamy and the anonymous CTV Election News Editor
. And they are cherry picking comments from the blogosphere and are open to bloggers comments. They have links to the Party Blogs and to the various political blogs; BloggingTories, Liberal Bloggers, Dippers and Progressive bloggers etc.

And the winner is....CTV.

Hey CBC clean up your act or I will take down my I Support CBC banner on my blog (ohh scary threat that).

  1. Yikes! The Balance Police! ;)

    Don't worry. I've already gotten the balance reminder from my bosses. I'm planning on writing about Rabble Babble tonight.

    Also, I've just asked the designers to put up links to party and political blogs. Good suggestion.

  2. Hey Johnny no problem like Jack Webbpolice says Just the FAQs maam. And I see you already have attempted to be fair and balanced in your latest blog. And you now have those vital links on the CBC site.

  3. Don't be fooled, Eugene. This clown wasn't the least bit fair in his latest offering. Notice that his links to Cherniak and Calgary Grit are to posts where they agree with Harper. That's the way the corporate media works. Leftwing bloggers only get attention when they praise Harper or stab Martin in the back.

  4. I can be so naive, he sobbed disillusioned with having been fooled by a clever right wing blogger on the Peoples Network. How could they he moaned... the very essence of liberal left media, the CBC, now has become tainted by the right...oh morass, or just more assholes getting hired...and by the way ya still can't comment on his CBC blog. Nor does his blogger.com profile come up so what is he hiding? Could he be this guy?

  5. Point taken. The Green Party has every right to be in the National Debate as well as represented on the MSM blogs. So email the CBC and CTV and ask them to add the Greens to their Blog page link, as you can see my complaint to CBC about JB's Blog had an impact. And also send in a complaint about the Greens being excluded from the Debate. Hmmm do I sense a non-partisan campaign coming on where we lobby for the Greens to be included. Yes I think I do.

  6. Wait, I only link to blogs that make Harper look good? You do know that the right-wing bloggers say the exact opposite, right?

  7. Oops. I actually meant to link to this.

    Actually, that other link works too, though.

  8. Ok I take it back you are that guy I posted in the link...but really the whole Conservative security issue you covered was really lite. And you could have made it far more exciting...like you did on your own blog. Like the bit about Don Cherry so I think I will change the guy in the above comment appropirately. And you know of course that we are watching you.....
