CTV vs CBC

I flip back and forth - both primarily covering the VT shootings.
CBC tends to the pontifical; Henry Champ keeps ruminating fatuously on the Second Amendment. There is a weird readiness to assume that if you make gun ownership illegal, people will not get guns. That this is false is obvious from life in Toronto in the last few years.
CTV, meanwhile, does something radical. It has Bev Thomson on the campus! And interviewing sensible people, actually related to the events. Some of the stories are horridly sad; we will learn more and we will come to hear stories of sacrifice and courage like this one.
The contrast could not be greater.
Disband the CBC. It has no value.
UPDATE: It appears Henry Champ is in Blacksburg. Hard to tell, since all he does is pronounce his received opinions.

UPDATE: To be fair, CTV is now into the omnisicience game and it is sickening. So now let me say disband the CRTC and its protection of inferior Canadian broadcasters!
