					<description><![CDATA[There have been several bewildered as well as angry accounts coming out of the USA lately about how little media time has been spent covering the Democratic Presidential Primary campaign of Bernie Sanders. Despite winning a string of primaries and attracting overflow crowds to his speeches, Sanders can't seem to inspire any mainstream journalists to [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[By Frank Moher The CBC has been given its money back. That is to say, the immediate infusion of $75 million announced in the Liberals&#8217; budget last month, plus the promise of a $150 million increase each year through 2021, more than makes up for the money leached from it by the Conservatives. Various ideas have [&#8230;]]]></description>

But local TV in Canada is also losing viewers at an alarming rate. This week the CRTC was told that fully half of our local stations could be gone within the next [...]]]></description>

A really nice one. Trudeau is wowing people in this country and all over the world, for some of the princely moves he&#8217;s been making &#8230; [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;re to the point that, if Harper announced he was calling off the election and had the Governor-General bound and gagged in a back room [&#8230;]]]></description>
