Bedroom Slipper Journalism................

"CBC will not take any real-time journalism from areas of conflict, stating that it is propaganda. Recently, the $270-million slush fund, known as Telefilm, the money behind documentaries and movies, children’s programming and drama, has made it very clear: footage shot in real-time, in particular, the scratchy old grainy stuff--will no longer be on your screens. The reason? ‘We can write it and reproduce it much better in studios and on computers.’

This is tremendously frightening.

Proposals written and passed off as the truth, with no input from the people who actually participated or the people involved--this is now becoming the norm. Truth be damned. In particular in the documentary industry. CBC coined the term "docu-drama" to explain away any questions about the truth, or lack thereof.

Four hundred dead naturally--450 with terrorism involved, is the explanation from CBC’s expert. The western world is just not getting it. We don’t understand. It makes no sense. Yet it is happening around the world. Suicide bombings. Carnage. Mostly explained away by ‘experts’ who have never been there."
