CBC's This is That Program [1st world liberal hippie rant]

Who else listens to the CBC and just can't stand the This is That segment?

What really gets my caffeinated panties in a bunch is that they cancel Dispatches due to a loss of budgeting and elect to keep a stoner's program that fabricates issues as if it was a Canadian radio version of The Onion?

AND then they (the CBC) wonder why some people can't take them seriously and want the gov't to pull their plug entirely. Nuts!

That is all…

It probably costs way less $$ to do "This is That" cuz they can make it all up whereas Rick Mcinnis Ray needs to do actual journalism … CBC probably can't afford to pay the long distance phone bill or contributing journalists the likes of Robert Fisk

So just blame it all on Stephen Harper I imagine he doesn't like real journalism cuz they are always ragging on the politicians

Tune into CBC Radio 2 [HTML_REMOVED] listen to Tonic, Monday to Saturday 8:00pm to 10:00pm. The cool jazz will calm you down, bro.

If this is that was funny,I prolly wouldn't mind….but it's painfully stupid.

…and as xxx'er said, it likely costs peanuts to produce.

the CBC 3 keeps cutting out so I am drinking the home brew

Yeah,we don't have a Cancon issue here,but a quality of programming issue.

Agreed and your right. Peanuts (cost/benefits) aside, it's just awkward. If that was my very first experience with CBC radio I'd be on the other side of the fence calling for less funding too and not likely to ever tune back in.

… shit. at least advertise at the start and end that it's a parody skit.

lol….you thought you were listening to a real interview and got all outraged about something,didn't you?

The first couple of times I would randomly tune in, listen to it for 10 seconds, WTF all over myself and switch stations. Figured out the spoof after suffering through a whole episode. Since then it's been nothing but loathing.

You must also hate Jonathan Goldstein on "Wire Tap"?

Buddy ^^ is actualy hosting the current right now and doing a reasonable job

The comic Andy Kaufman used to think it was great if he could put one over on the audiance if they didn't get the joke thats great …who thot the fight with Jerry Lawlor was real ?

This is That was funny (kind of) one time. But once you know the joke it becomes just stupid.

like having an original War of the Worlds marathon.

cbc has gotten worse over the last 5-10 years, however i still feel that they are the best radio station on the airwaves. sometimes i even find new music on my drive home.
