More votes and a pretty picture but I guess the Mods choose the leading stories based on something else.

Transfered to Toronto! wouldn't that be like throwing gasoline in the fire or throwing the fire at the gasoline?

We don't and can't change anything about the news stories and where they appear. Trevor has it set the same for all of the stories on the front page. There are a number of parameters that affect what is up on the front page but since I don't have any mod capabilities on that part of the site I don't pay much attention to it. One of the other members who post lots of stories would have more information for you on the matter though. There's definitely no conspiracy.........

I agree with you Riden, it’s no longer top stories, so it should be renamed to Editors Picks. I kind of liked it when the members votes decided on what was the top stories. I have no problem with the way it's being run now, but call it for what it is, Editor's Picks

Hawt or not, Erickson should have been fired. She'll do her time covering gang shootings in the GTA and be back at the Ottawa bureau in a year. BY then the whole biased affair will have conveniently fallen to the bottom of the memory hole. A pro-Tory reporter would have been dragged in front of a Parliamentary commission if they'd done the same thing.

There is no editor.

I stand corrected. Hyack looks after our news section and has parameters as to how the stories are listed. Contact him by PM if you wish to find out how the stories are placed on the front page.

not really sure how much of a punishment this is, won't she be at home in toronto ? with all the liberals there .

[kenmore]

well now you are complaining because the CBC dealt with it... she wasnt transferred because of liberal politics.. she was transferred because what she did was inappropriate.. and it is a kick in the ass because for a reporter Ottawa is the place to be for career advancement.. she fucked up... get over it and get on with it... she made the choice to do what she did.. now she is paying so be it..

She's a Liberal bitch and she should have been fired

My taxes pay her rent fire the bitch. If it was a conservative it would have been a different story.

If she wants to question the government during a hearing than she should run for office and get a seat on the opposition bench.

I knew that, that's why i suggest it be called Editor's picks.

However it is done, the result is the same. Just to keep things open, I'm going to start a thread and post the headline stories on a weekly basis and maybe an obvious trend can be seen.

What's most revolting about this was the CBC didn't accept that this was political bias.

This reporter writes questions have nothing to do with the Mulroney affair and everything to do with throwing dirt on the present government, for a Liberal who is outside of the Mulroney committee.

What part of this isn't politically motivated.

If not fired, I'd like to see her appointed the next Ringett sportscaster for the Northwest Territories.

The hapless Pablo Rodriguez, as well, should be obligated to either step down from the ethics committee (as he obviously has no ethics himself) or leave Parliament altogether.

I would have liked to see her assigned to Calgary
