- Rex Murphy, seen here writing an absurd polemic attacking Rob Ford's critics using a series of cliched strawman puerile caricatures of his opposition as just a bunch of downtown elitist snobs. Ford has been seriously unpopular for years now, having left net popularity in mid to late 2011 and never looked back - even after the Scarborough subway victory.
- Don Cherry, among his many offensive comments and reactionary views (many completely unrelated to hockey, which never stops him), peaked with his sneering and gloating speech at Rob Ford's inauguration where he went out of his way to insult Ford's opponents (also with cliched puerile caricatures)
- Kevin O'Leary, who makes the evil banker in It's a Wonderful Life seem like a nice guy and takes pro-capitalism to a level of self-parody. He's also just generally a rude host and jerk to guests he disagrees with.

CBC,
Don Cherry,
Kevin O'Leary,

I attribute the ongoing and grating CBC presence of these characters as evidence of the public broadcaster's policy of appeasing the right in the forlorn hope of staving off further cuts to its funding. All it really does is erode its credibility.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It doesn't placate the critics, but hurts the organization with the people who actually like what it does.
DeleteEvan Solomon. Kady o' Malley. Not looking doesn't mean left wing equivalents do not exist.
ReplyDeleteNeither of those are remotely close to O'Leary. Find me either advocating for outright socialism and government command of the means of production. O'Leary shouts night after night for some kind of libertarian wet dream laissez faire system.
DeleteTry again.

ReplyDeleteNewsflash, the Soviet Union is dead!
