Canwest is at it again.

For the second time in the past month, there was a piece running in the Calgary Herald about “saving” local TV.  This time however, it was written by the VP of Government Relations for Canwest Broadcasting, one Mike Woollatt.

This piece was no different from the one before, in that it beat up on the Cable and Satellite providers in the country and billed the big broadcasters as both the victim of a bully stealing their lunch money and the arbiters of local television.  This is getting old.

Canwest, CTVGlobemedia, CBC, CHEK News, NTV and all others involved in the Local TV Matters campaign, spare me your propaganda.  Same goes for the cable companies.  This crap is getting tired and using the consumers as pawns in a game of who can beat up enough on who, and who will get the money.

Don’t waste my time.
