Should Mark Carney Privatize the CBC? Jay Goldberg Explains Why He MUST
from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview
Jay Goldberg, Toronto Sun columnist returns to discuss his recent column in the Toronto Sun about the future of the CBC. With $1.4 billion of taxpayer money spent annually, Jay argues that the CBC, as it exists today, is not delivering value to Canadians. Despite a significant budget, their viewership numbers are shockingly low, with less than 2% of TV viewers tuning into its nightly news. Jay calls for the privatization of the CBC, or at least a complete overhaul, to ensure that Canadians are no longer funding a broadcaster that dismally fails to provide good journalism. Watch as he explains why the government should not be funding journalists and media outlets and what the future could look like for CBC and Radio Canada. Hosted on Acast.
