Just Fancy That

John Cruickshank, December 28, 2007:
I understand that a private association like the Conservative party does not have the sort of transparent and reliable complaints process that we have at the CBC. That is regrettable.
John Cruickshank, January 23, 2008:
As Canada's public broadcaster, the CBC has a special responsibility to our national audience. Part of that responsibility is that the process of accountability has to be transparent. We are obliged to show how and why we reach the decisions we do.

...

I accept the reporter's explanation that she did not do this to advantage the Liberals or hurt the Conservatives — that she just wanted answers for her story.
So much for transparency. One thing is transparent; we can all see through you, Mr. Cruickshank.
