Canadian Bullshit 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 Bullshit Corporation” since at least 1998 by those who believe that the CBC broadcasts propaganda.
 
“British Bullshit Corporation” (for the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC) is a similar nickname. The CBC has also been called the “Canadian Brainwashing 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.

CBC: Canadian Bullshit Corporation, treat it as such, you won’t be disappointed.
It’s a very dangerous situation. No government in a democracy should sit by and allow a public Broadcast system to skew the facts to manipulate opinion.
This is shades of Pravda.
We should be taking these complaints to our government and demand action. It’s our money at work and it’s working against us.

Adrian George Would be great to see the Canadian Bullshit Corporation stand on it’s own two feet rather than as a jockey beating the taxpayer horse for more money to compete unfairly with private industry and real jobs…

@CBCNews You should change your name from CBC Canadian Broadcast Corporation to to CBS Canadian Bullshit Corporation, if the shoe fits.
