No matter how much the Liberals use Chinese help to circumvent it. Amazing that it wasn't the CBC that broke open this Chinese interference scandal. Just amazing.

CBC doing what they do best (other than wasting billions and being as woke and stupid as possible) - catching farts for the scumbag evil Liberals. The CBC just plain sucks.
Adam Zivo: CBC keeps coming to Trudeau's defence over interference scandal

The CBC’s coverage of the China interference scandal has often been questionable and partisan. Though its unsurprising that the organization has chosen to act, yet again, as the Liberals’ state-funded PR wing, its recent decision to platform an apologist for Beijing’s genocide against the Uyghurs is a new low.

During the initial phase of the scandal, in mid to late February, the CBC provided relatively little coverage of China’s election meddling. Articles from that time disproportionately focussed on Trudeau’s rebuttals to his critics, including claims that the intelligence leaks detailing Beijing’s interference campaigns were allegedly “inaccurate.”

At the same time, the CBC seemed to frame the scandal as just a Conservative hit job. This narrative was, at first, integral to the Liberals’ attempts to discredit the story: ”We did nothing wrong. The Conservatives are just blowing things out of proportion to manipulate you.”

Consider, for example, how the CBC reported on concerns about Trudeau’s failure to publicly disclose Beijing’s meddling. Political leaders and commentators of all backgrounds found Trudeau’s secrecy concerning, but the CBC largely ignored this, downplayed non-Conservative critics and focussed on Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

The headline in the end? “Poilievre accuses Trudeau of ignoring election interference by China.” Through this kind of subtle, but effective, spin, the CBC implied that the scandal was being driven by one man with a political agenda, rather than a chorus of voices from across the political spectrum.

In early March, Poilievre repeatedly questioned Trudeau about whether he had been warned that China was funnelling money to Canadian political candidates, but Trudeau refused to answer. The CBC initially reported on this exchange using an accurate and neutral headline — “Trudeau again deflects questions on foreign election interference.”

However, the headline was later adjusted to something that could, once again, give the impression of a partisan witch hunt – “As Poilievre presses on election interference, Trudeau calls suggestion he isn’t loyal to Canada ‘despicable.”

As further intelligence leaks pounded the Liberals, they found a new strategy: claim that your opponents are racist .

This didn’t go over well. In both progressive and conservative media, Chinese-Canadians spoke up about how criticising the Beijing government is not racist and, on the contrary, stopping foreign interference is integral to keeping Chinese-Canadians safe.

The CBC craps the bed again. They are just pure scum. And they are sucking our tax dollars to continue to be scum. What evil is inherent in that insipid and disgusting organization.

GUNTER: CBC spin on Smith recording just shows broadcaster's bias

The CBC’s latest “bombshell” about UCP Premier Danielle Smith doesn’t prove what the state broadcaster thinks it proves. Once again, Mother Corp has let its anti-UCP biases convince it that it has a “gotcha” discovery, when in fact it has nothing of the sort.

Wednesday, CBC News revealed it had received a video recording of a conversation between the premier and controversial Calgary street preacher Artur Pawlowski, recorded less than a month before Pawlowski’s trial in early February for COVID-related protests during last winter’s Coutts border crossing blockade.

The CBC seems to think this conversation proves their earlier claim that Smith or her staff attempted to tamper with independent Crown prosecutions of alleged violations of public health restrictions.

It doesn’t.

Does Smith’s side of the conversation show her to be too sympathetic to anti-vaxxers and assorted pandemic extremists? Yes. And does it confirm that at the time (early January), Smith was confusing the terms “senior Justice department bureaucrats” and “independent Crown prosecutors” in her rhetoric (and probably in her mind, too)? Absolutely.

But, if anything, it also shows she understood she could not pressure Justice officials or prosecutors to drop individual charges, rather she was limited to asking a couple of basic questions about the wisdom of moving ahead.

If you’re already predisposed to think Smith is a little wingy when it comes to COVID, the CBC story will confirm that impression. Yet it does not prove she meddled directly in the justice system, not the way, say, Justin Trudeau did when he attempted to pressure his attorney general to give up the prosecution of favoured Montreal engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.

An interesting aside: The CBC makes a point of saying it has “verified” the recording it received.

Why is that important? Because back in January when the CBC last rushed to smear Smith with a claim that one of her staffers had emailed Crown prosecutors directly to pressure them on COVID cases, the public broadcaster later had to admit it had not seen the alleged emails before publishing its anti-Smith scoop. An extensive search of government email archives turned up no such communications.

In the latest video, Smith does admit she’s “very sympathetic” to Pawlowski’s case. That’s cringy. She also agrees with him that “it was a political decision that initiated this.”

Still, here’s where the meddling allegation begins to fall apart. Smith tells Pawlowski that despite the political origins of his charges, “it can’t be a political decision to end it.”

She explains she cannot grant him amnesty. Indeed, she shows she understands she cannot even share her opinion about individual cases with officials because rules “confine” her to only asking questions of the Justice minister and his senior bureaucrats about the reasonable likelihood of convictions and whether going to trial would be in the public interest.

During her chat with Pawlowski, Smith does say she has “almost weekly” conversations with “our prosecutors” about COVID cases, which the CBC insists is “more frequent and specific than she has admitted publicly.”

But I’m not sure how they can make that claim.

This recording is clearly from the time in January when Smith was mixing up senior Justice bureaucrats with Crown prosecutors (a failure of distinction which should be embarrassing to her).

However, it was Smith’s own boast on her weekly radio show during the same timeframe — about speaking with Crown prosecutors “on a regular basis” — that opened this can of worms in the first place. (Smith later stopped confusing Justice officials with prosecutors themselves.)

How is “almost weekly” so different from “on a regular basis” that the CBC now thinks it has some new proof with which to hang Smith?

This is just further biased coverage from the broadcaster funded by our tax dollars.

In need of another hit job story on Alberta? Every week, guaranteed you'll find one on CBC.

In need of another hit job story on Quebec? Don't look to CBC.

Alberta pumps billions into the Canadian economy, Yeah, they're not perfect, but who do think supplies the majority of the funds to the have- not province?
And who do you think sucks up most of the funds from the have provinces?

You'll seldom read about it on CBC.

There are all kinds of stories out of Quebec. The problem is that no one out west bothers to learn french. If they did - they could watch french tv and the news.
