Who? Enjoy CBC Radio. It is intelligent and doesn't play fluff. JG was a host who had a relatively popular show called Q. Known for his soft patient tones, as well as a minor stint in a band called Moxi Fruvous. lol. A long time ago there was a beef between him and George Stroumboulopoulos. Heard two sides of the beef. Both seemed legit. But that was the first sign of smoke. Anyone remember this interview with Billy Bob Thorton? BBT seemed like a complete dick. Here is JG interviewing BBT and his music. It's a good hear. ..But again, why would BBT be such a jerk if JG didn't say or do something to piss BBT off? More smoke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJWS6qyy7bw Fast forward. CBC had long heard rumours about JG behaviors. JG was fired. JG launched a 55 million dollar action. http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/jian-ghomeshi-how-he-got-away-with-it/ More to come.
Peter Mansbridge did a good job interviewing a CBC rep. No softballs...Ms Conways (CBC rep) cheeks seems to flush once or twice. http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/ID/2591009243/ Thinking JG should go to jail and bite the pillow if these allegations are true. Karma, Jian.
Yeah, so if there were no laws broken- where's the beef? Love / hate the CBC. If they were to get off the government nipple, they could be like CKUA in its glory days. Thin out the herd, the cream will rise. http://business.financialpost.com/2014/11/10/bungled-jian-ghomeshi-investigation-playing-out-at-taxpayers-expense/
Team George S.- Vindication is yours...There is a lot of lip service by big business about how they try to not have a toxic work environment. But there are always people who think vinegar gets more results than sugar. Megalomaniacs. http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/11/24/chris-selley-jian-ghomeshis-hostile-work-environment/
Can't recall any disaster bigger than this for the CBC. Clean the house out. It's a government job, but it is run like a private venture. Let's completely reform Canada Post, then the CBC. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/27/world/americas/jian-ghomeshi-canadian-radio-host-charged-with-sexual-assault.html?_r=0
