Bravo Dan, 👏🏽

As an alumnus of CBC journalism from the 70’s and 80’s I am ashamed of what the institution has become in many regards.

The detailed, balanced and constructive critique that followed your appreciation for the Fifth Estate’s legacy, reveals your extraordinary humanity and abilities as a communicator. You effectively deconstructed the program and its many issues and your conclusions in attributing the framing as the primary fault was spot on.

Your additional breakdown of pros and cons especially in exposing scientism and institutional capture will be revelatory concepts for most and hopefully encourage deeper reflection.

I too hope that the producers will revisit the topic as a part two and use your perspicacious line of questioning.

Thank you for your excellent work.

Warm regards

Claude H Forest
