The Gazoo : Revenge of the bloggers

Roy's creation - titled Blogue Out: Portraits of a Conflict - is aimed at Radio-Canada's audience, people wondering why their local programming has been interrupted. It started as a way to "tell the story of the lockout from a personal standpoint," Roy says. "But during the first weekend, I saw the opportunity to tell stories." ... "I wanted to let the public know that we're not a bunch of fat cats," Roy said. "There are fat cats within the CBC, but it's really not the majority of employees locked out right now." Meanwhile, word on the street has it that CBC brass has been meeting with federal ministers seeking to resolve the dispute since Game 1 starts tonight and SRC has been broadcasting hockey games with no sound ever since the strike began. I kid you not. via mikel
