'Shocking' WikiLeaks Revelation

Quel shockeroo (not)--the Ceeb has a distinct anti-American bias. And--here's the real shocker--Americans have noticed it. Writes Brian Lilley in the Toronto Sun:
OTTAWA - CBC programming is decidedly anti-American according to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.

A cable from the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa to officials in Washington says CBC, "the state-owned” broadcaster "has long gone to great pains to highlight the distinction between Americans and Canadians.”

The diplomatic note goes on the say "the level of anti-American melodrama”reached new heights with the launch of the show The Border.

The Border, which launched in January 2008, was billed as a show about the fight against criminals and terrorists at the Canada-U.S. border.

But American officials viewed the show differently. They called the show Canada’s answer to 24 without "that Sutherland guy”and felt the CBC was pushing a storyline that the real fight was with shadowy Americans working with the CIA.

"Many of the immigration team’s battles end up being with U.S. government officials, often in tandem with the CIA-colluding Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS),” the cable reads.
The cable lays out several plot lines that portray Americans as arrogant, overbearing and generally not concerned with respecting Canadian sovereignty.

In one episode, an American official calls in a U.S. air strike to take out terrorists whose plane had crashed in Quebec, but the plane is actually an American "black-ops” plane taking Guantanamo Bay prisoners to Syria for torture...
That's the Ceeb for you--Americans are the bad guys whereas Gitmo inmates are torture victims and/or "boy soldiers" whom we all want to bring "home" for the sake of his "human rights." (And don't get me started on that adorably dainty mosque on the flatlands frequented by cuddly, innocuous Muslims and silly, bigoted infidels.)
