Solomon's wisdom

How does Amanda Lang get away with it? The ethically challenged Canadian Boredcasting Corpseration (CBC) entered a new low.

Apparently some boob tube yapper puppy got involved with a sideline. Art dealing. Evan Solomon evidently was palsy walsy with a big time art collector, who in turn, wanted to sell some of the junk out of his collection. Solomon set up the contacts with a couple of well known buyers.

Solomon, a golden boy at the mother corpse, and air apparent to the other ethically challenged Peter Mansbridge. For those who don't know, Mansbridge is a news anchor. The linkage is a total insult to the intelligence of all anchors.

Golden boy used his high brow contacts to connect with the art dealer. The art collector and the expired tv personality had a working professional relationship with Solomon in the role of a paid broker.

The fact that Solomon worked as an agent for the collector wasn't known to the buyers. Solomon received a commission. In a latter transaction, more art moved from the collector to the repeat buyer. Solomon managed to find out and wanted a commission for transaction as the seller had originally a secret contract with said mouth piece.

The Solomon wanted a full commission which would have been over a rumored million bucks in Canadian currency. Alas, alas and rather predictably the collector offered a sum one fifth that. Solomon dug his heels in, he wanted more. A miraculous event occurred. Solomon's secret activities were leaked to the venerated ventilated Toronto Star. In turn the CBC found out.

In a sudden tightening of the ethical line in the sand, the CBC fired Solomon. Considering that the Mother Corpse had let Amanda Lang off with a slap on the back, for ethical issues far more serious than Solomon.

In brief review, a CBC reporter filed a report about the Royal Bank of Canada's (RBC) creative use of  the federal government's Temporary Foreign Worker's Program (TFW). The TFW was created to enable companies hire foreign workers to fill out vacancies that Canadians weren't able to do. Its original goal was to enable agriculture to bring in agricultural workers for harvest.  Harper's Federalis then allowed other companies to participate.

The creative part was that RBC, a bank, a bloated creation of greed, brought in temporary foreign workers, had them trained by Canadians for jobs, fired the trainers, then filled these positions with the same far cheaper TFW's. This clear cut egregious evil act was reported by a CBC reporter.

Lang, a major host on CBC's Business Program, attempted to spike or kill the story before it was aired. Lang was fucking a senior RBC executive. She tried everything to stop it even to the point of trash talking the other CBC reporter. Again another media company got a hold of this little tidbit. It hit the fan.

Further she had received speaking fees from some companies. Those companies seemed to be mentioned frequently and favorably on her television program.

The CBC hired a third party to evaluate Lang's activities. That third party, a PR firm, listed the very same companies that dealt with Lang, or screwed Lang, as their business clients. So this PR firm issued a report that Lang did nothing ethically wrong. Bizarrely the CBC accepted this report and kept Lang in their employ.

Compare the level of ethical challenge of Lang with that of Solomon's activities. Consider the fact that the mother corpse decided on Gian Gomeshi's alleged sexual assaults with a heavy swift action. Solomon's activities were severely in a grey area. His activities did not directly impact CBC. Gomeshi's did directly impact. Lang's activities not only effected the CBC it also impaired the journalistic freedom of the corpse.

The CBC seems to have a sexist double standard. If you're a female offender its okay. If you are male you're out the door.
