    No Longer A True News Network

    Like the CBC online edition, the National has lost its independence and is now heavily focused on opinion instead of just reporting the news. Rosemary Barton is a Liberal shrill and has no credibility as a true journalist. I seldom watch this drivel and opt for other sources of news instead.

    Lies and hate a true wedge in the solidarity of Canada

    This is a government funded one sided broadcast company that spreads hate and lies on a daily basis.

    You will find more truth in the national enquirer.

    New format :(

    I used to love The National. I still watch it but this 4-host format is not working. My suggestion: Keep Hanomansing... as he is the best anchor. Lose Andrew Chang. Send Rosemary Barton back to Power & Politics, which is where she really excels..Adrienne Arsenault is excellent as a field reporter, esp in depth stories from conflict zones.. have her as the alternate anchor.

    A New Low in Journalism

    The National last night (April 30, 2024) was the worst exercise in journalism I have ever witnessed on C. B. C. The first 20 minutes at least (I couldn't take any more) was devoted to the student protests at Columbia University rather than any number of more significant news events in Canada or abroad. Almost the entire coverage featured a camera shot of NYPD officers standing in the street doing nothing. Adrienne Arsenault tried desperately to ad-lib a commentary but really had nothing to say. Why didn't the producer/director of the show switch to another story when it was so obvious that this one was going nowhere?

    Used to be ok now designed to lower iq

    Used to be ok now designed to lower iq. Designed to social engineer whatever outcome our overlords want, be it dangerous vacccines, accusing people with other perspectives as 'rayciest', The smug tone and the lack of attention to any other point of view should be enough for the discerning viewer, as the current reviews thankfully show. Shame on those who work for this state media for trying to literally destroy western society. Better lock down forever and shame your neighbor into untested unneeded 'medications'! Bow down! BOW!!!1. Oh and Religion is bad. Dont go to church but 'certain' protests are ok. You're going to kill my grandma!!1.
