Mr. Hedges started kind of slow but he picked up toward the middle. Nicely done.

You'd think the guy would research just a little, like read one book by Hedges, then make the rational realization that his IQ is 30+ points short of the higher ground.

I really wonder why Kevin O'Leary is even on the CBC to begin with. Sure he's the Dragon Den's resident ass hole but that doesn't qualify him for journalism. What's the deal? Is he some sort of Stephen Harper crony?

Does anybody know morse code? I think Hedges is blinking out a message.

O'Leary now on my radar as a worthless sack of shit Canadian Donald Trump wannabe who thinks being intentionally fatuous wins an argument. Guy gives me douche chills whenever I see clips from Dragon's Den.. now I know why.

My hypothesis on why O'leary is on CBC all the time.

Despite originally the CBC being brought into existence by a conservative government, "in 1932 the government of R.B. Bennett established the CBC’s predecessor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC)." -wiki

I think that they've tended to be a generally more social democratic oriented media station, but as of late, Prime Minister Harper, won a majority (because Canada, like the USA, has a shit electoral system, and Canadians can be just as big of greedy shits as American Republicans) and the Conservative Government now has the power to do whatever it wants really (a.k.a. whatever Harper wants), which means the neo-liberal privatization of public goods are on the horizon, like the CBC.

My guess is that the CBC realizes they might be de-funded and so they put the free marketeer "nutbar" O'leary on to win some favor with the neo-conservatives.

To semi-quote Bill Hicks: "Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs (or, in Chris Hedges case, thanks to working on the frontlines as a war reporter and seeing humanity at it's worst and it's best) I see right through you"

O'Leary knows he's a douchebag, he just doesn't care.

If people wouldn't watch, he wouldn't be there. Stop hating the playa, hate the fucking no-mind sheeple watching the game.

O'Leary is a pompous overinflated arrogant dick. As a Canadian I am disappointed with CBC. I thought they had a higher standard then this. Hedges said it himself. referring to Fox News. O'Leary is not worthy of being a Canadian broadcaster.

Couldn't agree more. I've always been proud of Canadian news for not lowering itself to the same type of inflammatory, fact-less rhetoric that American news networks seem to thrive on.

I'm very dissapointed with the CBC for letting this 'pompous overinflated arrogant dick' shoot his mouth off on the air, contributing nothing and lowering the standard (or attempting to in this case) of debate.

Sure, on Dragons Den he's entertaining, on the news, he's quite embarrassing.

I actually wrote into the CBC about his disgraceful treatment of this guest to the CBC and requested that O'Leary offer a public apology and resign from any further on camera roles. I haven't recieved a response yet. >> ^PalmliX:

Never heard of Chris Hedges until his recent interview on RT. Love his style.

That's a good idea! I'm Canadian too. Coming from a federally subsidized station, this video is just embarrassing. *Edit: Complaint to CBC filed! http://www.cbc.ca/contact/

People, by telling the CBC you are watching O'Leary, you are telling them he has an audience. I'm sure a large portion of Hannity and O'Reilly viewers watch to see them make asses of themselves too.

You want O'Leary off the air? Complain to the advertisers. Tell THEM that you are equating THEIR products with your dislike of O'Leary.

He will disappear.
