It's a riddle

How are CNN and the CBC the same? It is a trick question. They are not. CNN has oodles of money and nothing to say, the CBC has so much to say.


I am talking as if CNN is a radio station because for me it it is. I cut the chord and so although I get silly little repetitive and dated soundbites of CNN on my TV I actually just get the audio feed for CNN on Sirius in my car. I don't get CBC TV but CBC radio is my constant companion at home.


Sorry Wolf, there isn't any late breaking news. Day after day the CNN announcers stretch twenty minutes worth of content into continuous coverage. CBC is also repetitive but their reruns are occasioned by a lack of funds to do more programming. The programming they have, with a few exceptions, is intelligent, informative and engaging.

I wish we gave them more money. They have been starved for years and continue to inform and entertain.
