I am so glad that CBC radio took a good 2 or 3 minutes of its World at Six newscast to bring us the Canadian perspective on the product launch of the year.

I mean, let’s face it, there really wasn’t much news coverage of the iPhone launch, was there?

The CBC is doing Canadians a huge service by giving us the “ground zero” perspective on the the line-ups, the frenzy, the hype in New York today.

It’s important for publicly-funded Canadian news organizations to dedicate resources to the marketing efforts of corporations like Apple.

And it’s even more important for publicly-funded Canadian news organizations to do so when the iPhone will not be available in this country for months and months.

I’m glad that my tax dollars are being used to support the product launch road map of the Apple Corporation. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over to know that I am personally helping Steve Jobbs market his line of i-products.
