Canadian Brainwashing Corporation (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation or CBC nickname)

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a channel that is available on some cable systems in the United States. The CBC has been given the backronym (back acronym) of “Canadian Brainwashing Corporation” since at least 2000 by those who believe that the CBC broadcasts propaganda. The less-frequent CBC nickname of “Communist Brainwashing Corporation” has been cited in print since 1996.
 
“British Brainwashing Corporation” (for the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC) is a similar nickname. The CBC has also been called the “Canadian Bullshit Corporation” and the “Communist Broadcasting Corporation.”
     
 
Wikipedia: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), officially branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is a Canadian crown corporation (state sponsored) that serves as the national public radio and television broadcaster. The English- and French-language services units of the corporation are commonly known as CBC and Ici Radio-Canada respectively, and both short-form names are also commonly used in the applicable language to refer to the corporation as a whole.
 
Although some local stations in Canada predate CBC’s founding, CBC is the oldest existing broadcasting network in Canada, first established in its present form on November 2, 1936.

You are welcome to understand whatever your obviously limited intellect enables you to.  Evidently you are a willing recipient of the propoganda that the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation likes to spread.  I have a newsflash for you that the CBC won’t likely carry: Canada is a wonderful country but “Made in Canada” does not automatically mean “Superior to anything from anywhere else in the world.”

Canadian Brainwashing Corporation
I’ve decided to have some fun while holed up in my hotel in downtown Detroit. The conference is over for another day and I thought that I’d mix my penchants for graphical design and slagging on the CBC into one afternoon commercial endeavor.
 
I’ve set up an account over at cafepress.com, where you can design your own t-shirts. I’ve made one that is sure to be a must have for any Conservative convention or summer BBQ leader’s tour.

What a second…the priests who preyed on little boys in the Catholic Church…were homosexual pedofiles…the CBC, canada’s brainwashing corporation, was willing to air and attack the Catholic Church, but not the homosexual pedofiles…

Unfortunately that’s what you get all the time on the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation. It really is unbelievable to watch their Election coverage. The same old bandits doing the reporting. Same old, same old.
 
small dead animals
That’s why they are called the CBC:
“Canadian Brainwashing Corporation”
It is Coriolis Force LIEberal spin doctoring.
If you do it too often, you will be ‘left’ politically blind.

Information Clearing House
Khadr and Black
Stalin Would Have Been Proud

By Morley Evans
October 08, 2012 “Information Clearing House” -  Canada was never as good as it has always been advertised to be and everyone thinks it is, but Canada is much worse since Steven Harper managed to weasel himself into the Prime Minister’s Office. People everywhere can compare the treatment in Canada of Omar Khadr to Conrad Black.
(...)
Conrad Black was imprisoned in a nice place in Florida after having been given a real trial in Chicago where he was charged with lying and stealing his investors’ money. In Canada, Black would have never been brought to trial since he is one of the anointed big-wigs. Upon being released, this convicted felon, Black, who relinquished his Canadian citizenship years ago so he could become a member of the British House of Lords, has been welcomed back to Canada where he lives in his mansion in Toronto and appears as a celebrity on the CBC, the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation.
