At a mile-a-minute, too much for Hulk Hogan’s opponent to give credit where it’s due.
“The photo behind him for most of his piece is a shot I took in 1983. On the one hand it was great to hear that some of my work was hitting the media in some form, on the other hand it was irritating that they lifted it without permission or attributing the shot. To twist the knife, they then lead into a promo of another Toronto photographer who’s been photographing Detroit (didn’t show any of his photos so it sounded like my shot was his).”

It’s now been about five months since we launched our new programming under CBC News Renewal. First of all, I want to thank you all for your commitment and hard work as we continue to build our new programs, structures and processes. We’ve enjoyed some significant successes and despite the inevitable bumps along the road, I’m confident we are well advanced in building the kind of integrated, round the clock news organization that our audiences expect. Our strategy is working and remains in place.

As reported by (and to) CBC News:
CBC News says it has made organizational changes meant to improve operations as part of an ongoing news renewal process.
I mean really now, shouldn’t CBC News be reporting on something else besides this? Is the Canadian public dying to know that “Heaton Dyer, formerly senior director of strategy and innovation, becomes executive director for programming strategy and innovation.”
But if you’re going to report it, how about some actual reporting? Namely, what every Canadian reading this is asking themselves: “does this involve a change in pay?” And secondly, how does changing Heaton’s title “improve operations?”
And what is he doing, anyway?
Are there any journalists left in the CBC? Or are they all too busy emptying their own wastebaskets to do any reporting?
Ryerson Review of Journalism, 2005:
Jennifer Dettman, executive producer, helped create the show’s concept by targeting audiences with Stroumbo’s youthful personality. “I suppose that’s cool,” says Stroumbo, “because for the longest time, getting people under the age of 15 engaged on a Newsworld program was rare.” Doyle, on the other hand, argues that no program on television should be so outlandish and different that it alienates a portion of the viewers by age group. But Stroumbo denies that the show is doing that. “People say the show is aimed at getting younger viewers,” he says. “But if it were, why would I interview a holocaust survivor?”
“In the meantime, Stroumbo sticks to advice he learned early in his career from Canadian radio guru Bob Mackowycz: Never talk down to your audience, and fuck ‘em if they don’t get it.”
If Mesley, Mansbridge and the whole lot of them are so gung ho on public broadcasting, why don’t they quit and run for Federal office?
Nothing could be easier or more effective to bolster funding for the CBC.
It’s a given that celebrities are easily elected. People assume they know them almost personally. All that’s necessary for the celebs to do is give a few speeches like they’re going to take the job seriously.
A few months of campaigning and it’s the gravy train for four years.
Any one of them – Jian, George, Andy Barie,Brent, Quarks guy, all of the recognizable faces of the CBC could quickly hold office in Ottawa if they chose to go for it.
Jian already has the glimmer in his eye, wondering how far he can take his ambitions as a political cardboard cut-out of someone who stands for … something. He’ll wing it using his well practised “has an answer for everything” gift of conversation.
Ian Hanamanshing could realistically become the Premiere of British Columbia.
Look at Peter Kent.
What does he know?
And why should only CTV people like Duffy and Wallin get into the Senate? Where’s Patrick Watson? Not savvy enough to rate? In truth, probably more so than anyone else.
Why doesn’t the CBC just take over the country, and put an end to getting its butt kicked all the time for being “lefties”?
Rise up, CBC.
Rise up.
