Tony Burman Departs CBC News

This could be very bad news indeed. It was announced today that Tony Burman will be leaving CBC News. For those of you who don't know: Burman, Editor in Chief of CBC and 35 year veteran of the corp. has been a crusader for maintaining Journalistic credibility in an age where infotainment passes for hard news and CNN has sunk nearly to the level of the National Enquirer.

This announcement seems particularly ominous given the CBC's recently announced hiring of a man "The Maggot"

Frank Magid is called The Maggot in the United States because he is loathed and despised by pretty much anyone who wants to be, or is, a serious television journalist. He is loved by ratings-hungry station managers and blowdried airhead anchors.
He's been around for a while. His contribution to the world in crisis is "Live Local Late Breaking." We used to chuckle at WKBW and the fires in Tonanwanda. Now Buffalo is going to be laughing about fires in Toronto, Trenton and Thunder Bay.

Keep an eye on this one.
