Monsieur Maffin emailed to let me know about Inside the CBC, a new gossip and news blog about the nation’s broadcaster. Tod’s writing it:
I don’t get leaked any advance CBC information or participate in any pre-announcement strategy meetings or anything like that. Likewise, I don’t tell them in advance what gets posted here or how. They don’t get an opportunity to review or edit or veto anything. They read what I write the same time you do. I suppose if push came to shove and they told me to take something down or edit it, I would. But having been working with these folks now for a month in beta, I can’t imagine that kind of scenario. In the end, we’re all working toward opening up communication at the CBC  a good goal.
I look forward to reading this badboy, particularly during labour crises. Ouimet and Gillian have also written about this topic.

It is time that the government greatly reduces funding for CBC. It is a waste of Tax Payer Money. I have had enough, listening to a hord of Schmucks discussing $5.00 dollars worth of Letterheaded stationary, sent in a clerical error, as if it is the end of the World. How much did CBC pay for all that programming for the last 3-4 days ? 250,000.00 two hundred and fifty thousand and more !!!! It is Time to cut staff of CBC ” Top Down ” Enough of all this waste in TaxPayer Money !!!
