cbc on crusade against shady business
The CBC seems to have stepped up its game of finding shady businesses and exposing them. They not only have marketplace, now it seems have the news articles are about companies ripping people off. Many would say this is a public service, but I say there's more to it.
They have a new show called "Go Public", as in expose this to the public. But could there be an implied idea, a sort of subliminal message, of changing something from private to public, as in "public" broadcasting.
The biggest fear of the CBC is that people will start questioning government spending. Of all the reasons people advocate spending by the government, the last is for really bad tv shows. So CBC recognizes that if people start thinking in these terms, they're the first to go.
So they have made an all-out assault on private business. That's one of the reasons why most people I talk to loathe business. They think government loves you and wants to protect and take care of you, while business just wants to hurt you in some way. The CBC is just continuing to push this agenda.
The irony is that the government violates the very things people fear from companies. Government healthcare is a disaster, the government runs many monopolies, etc. If a company gave terrible service, people would be up in arms, but not with government. A company with a monopoly? That's some people's greatest fear, but somehow it's okay when the government does it.
Hopefully people will realize soon that there are just two ways of doing things: voluntarily or coercively. The government represents the latter.
