Visuals Of The Greenpeace Banners Because CBC Doesn’t Show Them

I'm trying to figure out why CBC put a really boring picture of tiny people on a roof on their site, and buried the story way down at the bottom of their page under the headline "Police break up climate protest on Parliament Buildings."

Sure, we didn't vote for Greenpeace, but most of us didn't vote for Harper either.

Here now is a video from the Canadian Press, that actually shows the "giant banner" mentioned in the CBC story:

I did an article on this six or seven years ago in prairie dog. With all the on-line music sources out there now, it's probably not as big a deal as it was back then, when Wal-Mart had the clout to shut artists that didn't meet its "moral" standards out of many small and mid-size retail markets. Still, the policy remains a pretty lame trampling of artistic freedom in our society. (InMusic)
