  So how can you tell that the CBC is woke. Well, they got
• 0:03
  triggered by a fact and then ran off to a safe space. Here's the
• 0:07
  headline, CBC rage quits Twitter after Elon Musk accurately labels them government funded media.
• 0:16
  So what did the CBC say about it? It said, our journalism
• 0:19
  is impartial and independent, so suggest otherwise is untrue. That's why we're pausing
• 0:24
  our activities on Twitter. So you have this Canadian paragon of objectivity at quitting
• 0:30
  Twitter because Twitter labeled them correctly. They are of course government funded. Everybody
• 0:37
  knows this, we all know this. But of course they feel that this
• 0:41
  suggests some sort of bias, perhaps some sort of favoritism towards the Trudeau government
• 0:46
  that's implicit in this statement. But I don't think that's the problem because I
• 0:50
  think that if people perceive the CBC as being a bias towards the Liberal Party,
• 0:55
  it's not because Twitter put sixty nine percent government funded media on their Twitter
• 1:00
  your account. I think it's something that happened well before then, and I
• 1:03
  think it's something that is CBC's own fault. And I just love to bring
• 1:07
  up this gem from when the Freedom Convoy was happening. Why the word freedom
• 1:12
  is such a useful rallying cry for protesters? The word has become common among
• 1:18
  far right groups. Experts say, yeah, I think we've all figured out
• 1:21
  that you can find an expert to say anything as long as you pay them
• 1:25
  enough. Yes, do you see what they're doing there? This was February
• 1:29
  thirteenth, twenty twenty two, and you've got a photo here of anti mandate
• 1:33
  protesters. Do you think this is a mistake? Do you think this is
• 1:37
  an accident that they're linking these two things together, a far right groups and
• 1:41
  people against mandates. I guess authoritarianism is good now, at least according to
• 1:46
  CBC experts. I like this from CBC. CBC pauses Twitter activity after being
• 1:52
  labeled government funded media. It's the latest move by Twitter to stamp public broadcasters
• 1:57
  with designations. Oh my stars, designations, not designations, I mean,
• 2:05
  boy designations. Well, I hope that the CBC feels safe. I'm sure
• 2:12
  they'll be traumatized for life after being stamped with a designation. And what was
• 2:16
  that designation again? Oh yeah, government funded media, which is one hundred
• 2:22
  percent true. This is what I find surreal about this. This is how
• 2:27
  you know that they're in it, just a complete bubble, because they don't
• 2:29
  recognize how embarrassing this is, how weak and pathetic it makes them look.
• 2:35
  Although I have to say it's not that surprising that the CBC would literally flee
• 2:38
  from any true statement. You want to see how much CBC doesn't like reality,
• 2:44
  Well, here they made a handygraph here where you can see their funding.
• 2:47
  Here's their funding for twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, and this future color
• 2:53
  here that's the government funding. And it doesn't look like that much, does
• 2:57
  it. I mean, it's a healthy chunk, but it hardly looks like
• 3:00
  most of their funding until you notice something here on the side. One hundred
• 3:04
  million, two hundred million, three hundred four hundred, five hundred million,
• 3:07
  six hundred million, seven hundred million, and then what one point seven billion?
• 3:12
  Hold on, they skipped a billion dollars, an actual billion dollars.
• 3:17
  So here's what it actually looks like, if you're being honest, twenty eighteen,
• 3:22
  twenty nineteen, one point two billion dollars, and it looks like a
• 3:25
  lot. Yeah, this is what reality looks like. This is what the
• 3:30
  CBC didn't want you to see because maybe if you saw that you wouldn't think
• 3:34
  they were quite as essential as they're constantly telling as they are. Anyway,
• 3:38
  this is one of the reasons that I'm a big fan of you laon Mosque,
• 3:42
  Canadian Broadcasting Corps said they're less than seventy percent government funded, so we
• 3:46
  corrected the label sixty nine percent government funded media. Yes, isn't a little
• 3:53
  bit juvenile, sure, and I don't care. I love it and it's
• 3:55
  far more accurate than anything I've heard on the CBC for ages. Anyway,
• 4:00
  please subscribe like in charshank really helps me out. Thank you for that.
• 4:03
  I will see you next time.
