This is the kind of editorial tripe we put up with in Canada.

John Doyle, a columnist for the Globe, has more to say in defense of the CBC and particularly, The National:

"The CBC is not shoved down anyone’s throat."

Right. You mean other than the fact we are all forced to pay for it?

And this despite the fact that only 2% of Canadians tune into The National.

Do you believe the CBC is as essential as clean water and an education system?

Or, has John Doyle and his fellow travelers fallen off the edge of sanity into imbecile lake?
