[fvc-wat-disc] Media watch: CBC Radio One news

[Bob Jonkman]

On the 8:30am news on CBC Radio One yesterday morning (7 August 2007) there 
was an item with a spokesperson from "No MMP" giving some disparaging 
comments on the MMP system, saying that MMP would undermine the stability of 
governments.  No opposing point of view was aired.

Fortunately, the online article gives a more balanced perspective: 
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2007/08/07/ot-referendum-070807.html

I'm not sure that the opinion for either side should be elevated to the 
status of news, but if so, it was somewhat negligent for the CBC not to 
provide both sides of the issue...

Sadly, I did not catch the news this morning, so I don't know if additional 
information was aired.

--Bob.
