Been driving from PEI to Toronto. Radio on. The CBC is live and on the air! Here's the way CBC radio commemorated the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
On the 9/10 leadup to 9/11, they had one of their "experts" on who assured us that, in the grand scheme of things, terrorism really isn't worth getting exercised about. Only 5,000 persons per year die from terrorist attacks. More die from eating Big Macs! He actually said this (or words to this effect).
Ah yes, the CBC at its best.
On the day of 9/11 they used the attacks on the World Trade Center as a segue into the present-day effects on Iraq and Afghanistan. The "sin" of the Americans vis-a-vis Iraq is that they are there. Things were pretty darn good under Saddam Hussein, weapons of mass destruction a fabrication, and the American/British liberation of Iraq all a big mistake.
The "sin" of the western troops in Afghanistan is not that they are there, but that they are not doing enough. Instead of just enhancing security, the West should be building factories and establishing a prosperous western-style economy.
And there you have it. What passes for fair and balanced reporting from the distant reaches of the far-left minds that inhabit the CBC.
