We'll see the end of this gargantuan waste of tax dollars ..... here in Canada too .....
While driving to work today I heard a bit of blurb on the US budget politics being played out and a proposal to cut funding to public broadcasting corp in the US..... as it turns out the liberal
intelligentsia are all over it ......
Kate at
SDA has a well placed juxtaposition of the convenient ... as in truth of the moment ... manner so typical of the
privileged liberal.
On the one hand public broadcasting receives less than 10 % of its funding from the government (in the USA) ... on the other hand talking about cutting any amount of the 10% is tantamount to child abuse and the end of days for a
hopey changey world.
Back in the land of people who actually have to work for a living .... so we can pay our taxes ... and end up subsidizing these little islands of sanctimonious liberal viewpoint ... some of us don't give a crap.
By and large we do not watch the public broadcasters because we do not care for the material they offer ... outside of a few decent concert series .... the bulk of the programming is just rehashed garbage from other sources that
nobody would even know about if not for the desperate need for low cost material in the not for profit sphere.
So .... how many people really benefit from US public broadcasting?
I'd hazard to guess that it is a lot less than the 38million claimed by the NPR CEO....
But after all that's America ... and THIS is Canada ... where the CBC gets over a billion$ from the taxpayers every year to sustain a clique of liberal elites who produce nothing of value (unless you happen to be a member of the parasitic class yourself) and they insist on telling us all that this shit is actually sunshine.
And if only this were the end of it! The rest of the Canadian broadcast cabal get hundreds of millions as well ... as if
CTV and the rest are not businesses that are supposed to be earning their fair share for the benefit of their shareholders but rather just PBS lite.
Unfortunately this sort of self propagating dependence on public funding permeates the entire broadcast print media. And do not get me started on arts production especially film in Canada.
For my money I'd like to see all these parasites
probosces permanently removed from the public flesh. Cut then off 100% .... let them go out and earn their livings ... let them prove by doing for themselves that they deserve to survive.
But of course ... as with all liberals ... what has actually been a favor of largess by the public has become for them an entitlement.

"The IPCC has one of the most rigorous review processes I have ever experienced...."
Observe that Neither one of them actually know whether there was any so called peer review ... or bother to ask. They simply follow the doctrine that because the IPCC claimed that there was peer review ..... that it must be so.
In the case of the cited interview and article by ABC Australia's Margot O'Neill. it happened back in November and therefore she may claim ignorance of the issues in regard to the IPCC's lack of credibility. BUT .... since I and many others were well aware of the nature of the IPCC and it's cohort well before that time (2 years) ..... exactly WHY that should be a valid defence would be beyond reason.
But for the matter of the quoted scientist and so called expert ... if that is the most rigorous review process he ever experienced, it should make everyone ask "Just what sort of peer review HAVE you experienced?
The "experts" who resort to sources of accreditation for their credibility seem to miss the fact that they ...themselves ...have undermined or allowed to be undermined... those very sources.
A house of cards .... dwellings built upon sand.
Seems to me the scientific community has forgotten the principle keeping you own house in good order and the foundations in proper repair.
Instead of doing that by maintaining vigilant scrutiny of the institutions they rely on for checks and balances. Instead of keeping their own house in order, it seems that they as a group .... have allowed their house to be undermined and infested.
As for the MSM .... stupider by the day. Beyond hope... beyond redemption.
