I respect this post: Well my goodness, it would appear our neighbor to the north has been in the medicine cabinet once again. How creative of her and her employer CBC to come up with all those really nasty things to say about so many individuals of whom they have absolutely no knowledge of other than their preconceptions based on geographic location or political leanings. I believe one of the terms used was “White Trash”. I must congratulate her on getting that one past your government’s censors. However, I can’t help but wonder if it would have gotten by them if the term used had been black trash, French trash, or Islamic trash? Wow, and the way she labeled all the residents of Alaska as “drunks” was…well, let’s just say it is in keeping with her foul and bigoted persona. Mr. Carlin made the statement, in a follow-up article, that Mallick was not a journalist but rather a columnist. Sir, I would propose that she is neither, but rather, she is simply a self inflated bigot who prefers to use a broad brush when berating others, especially Americans. SHAME on you CBC! There was not one paragraph of substance in this piece. Not one issue that was intelligently argued. Just the tyrannical ranting of a bitter person whose sole purpose in life is to tear others down. At the end of the day, I would dare say that any one of those maligned in her article, provide greater service and are more productive than she or those like her could ever hope to be. Mallick truly produces nothing of any value to society. She just espouses an opinion, and we all know what they say about opinions.
