Okay, now I'm angry....

I have been peeved at the Canadian media's arrogance and self-importance. They have come to believe they ARE the news instead of reporting it.

It started in earnest with the whining and petulance of the Parliamentary Press Gallery. ( I believe it started years before that but they have just made their bias public now). Then, last weekend I read an article on the death of one of our soldiers, Nichola Goddard. As I was reading the article in the Calgary Sun, I thought "What an excellent article"! It talked about her pride in being a soldier and I would have liked to know her. She seemed like an honorable person. However, then the editorialist went on to say that because she was a Canadian hero, the journalists should have been allowed to be inside the fence when the family greeted her homecoming. Of all the nerve!!! They used this proud hero's death to push their agenda.

Now, I am listening to the Opposition's motion in the House of Parliament regarding the cultural heritage of Canada and the CBC. The liberals are stating that without the CBC, we would have no cultural heritage in Canada. Again, this whole attitude that the media "IS" the heritage rather than the idea that they should "reflect" the heritage. In my opinion, the CBC is merely an arm of the left and is pure propaganda. They, like the PPG, seem to believe they ARE Canada. I can tell you, as one Canadian among many, that the CBC neither IS nor does it REFLECT my Canadian heritage. The liberals are putting this forward because they are scared of losing their "propoganda" machine. The liberals and the left, in my opinion, do not believe in Canadian heritage. They believe the Canadian culture should bow to "multiculturalism" and that our identity is that we are not American. Give me a break! Get rid of the CBC and the propaganda.

We can promote cultural heritage in many ways by giving grants etc to various events, media, programs, and projects put forward by Canadians. By disbanding a GOVERNMENT FUNDED MEDIA OUTLET, there can be a more diverse and broadbased reflection of CANADA rather than being preached to. Okay... I'm ranting now but I am furious. Prime Minister Harper... keep up the good fight and PLEASE kick the PPG, the CBC, and any other self-righteous entitled diverse cultural propagandists to the curb!!!!
