Thanks to Montreal Simon, DESMOG CANADA, Press Progress and others for alerting us to the true extent of Rex Murphy's egregious conflict of interest in his role as CBC commentator.
Murphy is yet another sad but solid indication of the policy of appeasement the Corporation has adopted toward the Harper cabal.
My own complaint to the CBC about this disgraceful state of affairs is still awaiting a response. When I filed it a couple of weeks ago, this is what I received from their ombudsman:
I write to acknowledge receipt of your email. The first step in the process is to share your complaint with the relevant programmers, who have the right and responsibility to respond. I have therefore shared your email with Jennifer McGuire, General Manager and Editor in Chief of CBC News. If you are not satisfied with the response you receive you may ask me to review the matter.
Programmers are asked to try to reply within twenty working days.
Sincerely,
Esther Enkin
CBC Ombudsman

I will post the response if and when I receive it.
