Meet the CBC’s crack team of reporters! Your tax dollars at “work:”
A reader on the scene emails:

I sat beside a couple of the CBC journalists who did not make it in and made some small talk, asking if they were national or local. Both were with CBC radio, one was national one was local. Both were upset that they could not get access, but seemed relieved that “Milewski was in”.
Media continued to show up (now late) and were denied access. All were demonstratable outraged that they, the media, could not get access.
CBC journos asked me who I was with. Just an interested observer I replied.
Who is this Steyn guy they asked. Is he a journalist? Who does he write for? He’s right wing isn’t he?Surprised at their lack of knowledge, I gave them a bit of a background on Steyn, – oh yes he sounded a bit familiar now.
I asked them what they thought about the case.
Well they didn’t really know too much (anything) about it.
Did they know who Elmasery was? No.
They asked if I had a picture of Steyn. Since I don’t generally carry pictures of Mr. Steyn with me, it was fortunate I had my copy of America Alone which has a small picture of him on the inside jacket.
