RE: CBC Radio Offensive and Flippant, February 9th

There is no such organization as "Friends of the CBC". Friends of Canadian Broadcasting is a watchdog for Canadian content on radio and television. No one is a card carrying member as we issue no cards. Like Pat Martin, we are sometimes critical of the CBC, but we would defend it from any attempts at editorial interference from MPs or Cabinet Ministers because CBC is a public broadcaster, not a state broadcaster.

Sincerely,

Ian Morrison
Spokesperson
FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting
