TJ, this CBC show "IS" a news show? If it is, I really don't see the problem. The news is reality, no matter how grusome & depressing it may be. Lets face it, the world around us is in shambles, although most who frequent chat zones like this try to avoid it, it will always be there. My suggestion, put on that top 40 radio station or throw in an educational CD if you want them to learn and not be traumatized by the reality of the world we live in. Its your responsability to watch what your children listen to...not the CBC. My two cents.
