National Organization for Marriage lawyer, James Bopp, Jr. rips the CBC for not being more like Fox News

Carol Off, James Bopp, Jr.
Well here's an ingrate for you. James Bopp, Jr., who started the Citizens United case that opened the dark money spigots to fund new torrents of toxic political campaign trash talk and corporate half-truths now flooding  airwaves, yesterday accused Carol Off, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation host who interviewed him on As It Happens, of pushing a liberal media agenda (by, one supposes, giving him a new platform for his plutocratic agitprop.)
     In his spare time, Bopp helps the National Organization for Marriage stall compliance with Maine's campaign finance disclosure laws.
Carol Off: Corporations who are able to use their money on these superPACs... are they not pushing their own agenda?
James Bopp, Jr.: Well of course they are. Everybody's pushing their own agenda. You have an agenda and you're pushing it as I can listen to your questions, so...
Carol Off: But I don't have millions of dollars...
James Bopp, Jr.: There's a lot of money being spent by your network, ah, it is unregulated, we don't know who the donors are to your network and ah...
Carol Off: Canadian taxpayers.
James Bopp, Jr.: Is that all?
Carol Off: Yep.
James Bopp, Jr.: Well, then we know that taxpayers are paying for a liberal media that is at their expense.
Carol Off: Well, they seem to continue to fund it and continue to support it...
