What a waste of my time. Wish I could have that three minutes back of my life. Guys a goof and this story is worn out beyond belief. Plus - his voice makes me want to punch him in the throat.

Outside of HNIC, CBC is a waste of channel space.

This clip didn't nothing to alter that view.

I don't know if I'd call a Rhodes scholar a goof. What credentials do you have to make such a claim?

What, you have to have an Oxford education to call someone a goof?


That wasn't clever. Wasn't funny. Wasn't informative. Wasn't really anything, Rhodes scholar or not.

The credentials of Rhodes or I are irrelevant. Everyday a new article or video is posted to the forum with the same "pick at the leafs losing" message. Every media outlet within 300km of Toronto has to get their licks in on the Leafs losing to get cheap hits and I for one am sick of hearing it.

How is constantly pouring salt in the wound that is the MLSE franchise going to benefit them?

Bad news truly is good news in Toronto.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a cbc fanatic. But Mansbridge better be the BEST journalist in Canada, he's the highest paid person on the Canadian tax pay roll.

Why any Leaf fan would enjoy that is beyond me.

Thought the attempted humour at the length of time it takes to grow tree's for sticks showed how in tune he is with the game.

I can think of multiple government programs that I'd consider a waste aside from a communications board that provides free information, entertainment and culture to Canadians. Especially when the gap between the richest few and the rest is growing faster than anytime in Canadian history.

But yes, drink your kool-aid and watch the country erode.

Why is hating the Leafs the popular thing to do? I don't get it... The losingest franchise? Give me a break! Even at the beginning of the 2000's we were going deep into the playoffs... What about all the cups? Don't pull the "it was during the original 6" card because then you'd have to discredit any cup ever won during that time period which is ridonckulous. I can't wait until we are back competing so everyone will ****

Watched it yesterday on TV. I liked it from an entertainment perspective, but I do acknowledge that his arguments are unfair. Rex Murphy is actually a very knowledgeable person, but he is at his best when he talks about politics or some other Canadian issues. As for the CBC being a waste of tax money, that just simply isn't true. The CBC is a great channel. No news program in this country even comes close to being as good as The National.

Its what comes with sports, unfortunately. If Leafs make the playoffs next season, all will be forgotten.

It's not "meaningless" CBC haters, there is a good reason to be upset with the CBC. I agree with the other guy, beyond HNIC there isn't much there. Peter Mansbridge is not a good reporter, he is a biased goof doing what the network tells him to do, just like the rest of the goofs at that network including one of the worst offenders there, Terry Milewski. One reason the taxpayer should not be held at gunpoint funding them! The CBC does not speak for ALL Canadians it speaks for a segment of the population... therefore why are we all having to pay for it? We should be able to opt out! Shows like George Strombo Tonight or whatever it's called does not represent me as a Canadian, in fact anytime I've seen that show it's been with an extreme bias in their way of reporting or presenting their claims, the host is a biased tool, the whole damn network is biased. Defund the CBC and let them sink or swim like Global, CTV, etc.

Number of times the word "biased" or variants used: 4

I'm sorry, I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. I thought I was on HFBoards, not the Political Conspiracy forums.
