Hahahahahahah! You pointless CBC guiltmongers! You sold us out to a pack of cynical hypocrites who don’t give a damn about anything but themselves.

It’s also laugh out loud funny in other parts, and pretty insightful about Palin in many way. The “toned-down pornstar” is a dead-on description of Palin’s grooming goals, not surprising perhaps as Mallick is a good writer and alternates between intriguing and useful social observations and fashion columns (which the latter I’ve admittedly never read).

It’s a day’s revision and some hard-hearted editing away from the column it should have been, which is a pity. Somebody rushed this one, and the CBC doesn’t really need any more insults to its reputation.

As for bias, this was an opinion piece – CBC reporting is pretty even, one notch below BBC. It’s a relatively liberal country (even currently).

Whether we agree with someone’s commentary or not, what right does CBC or anybody else for that matter have in silencing one of their freelancer’s opinions. I personally disagree with what was written in the article and found it a very poor piece of emotion filled journalism. BUT….she is entitled to her opinion and for the CBC to buckle under some pressure to silence the piece is a travesty of our right to free speech in this country.

Let Faux News bitch and moan all they want. They always do anyway.

Heather Mallick is entitled to her opinion just as much as Karl Rove’s minions are.

This sort of thing is just rude and has nothing to do with journalism and no place in politics.

Still believe there’s no liberal bias to the media?

A) the USA owes china ( communists) so much cash you might as well call the USA a communist lackey.

B) any statement by a republican or conservative that you or they or soeoen is COMMUNIST is really trying to say other words not permitted as they them selves actually support communism as they are after all funding it in china.
