It's sad but true.
About one in four people said they were watching or listening to CBC less since the dispute began, says the Decima survey, which is considered accurate to within 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.A person said to me yesterday that the Liberals need the CBC.

Those who said they were most inconvenienced by the lockout tended to be Liberal and NDP voters or older people, the poll found. Most other respondents said they had not been affected.

So far Ottawa has refused to intervene, saying the CBC is an arm's-length agency.
Labour Minister Joe Fontana noted last week, however, that the appointment of a special mediator is among several options that could help kick-start negotiations.
It's sad but true.
