      9. What's interesting here is the economic subtext of comments: "he was too big. Show was a f----ing juggernaut...brand of Q"

      10. The CBC has always seen it's job as creating Canadian celebrities, an often bathetic exercise.

      11. It's possible CBC has always pampered and indulged its "stars" -- you do hear stories of older "stars" who were womanizers.

      12. But the stuff Ghomeshi allegedly did goes way, way, way beyond whatever "womanizing" went on in 1950s or 1970s.

      13. We have to look at Ghomeshi's culture of abuse at CBC as taking place at particular economic juncture for CBC.

      14. Not to sound like a doctrinaire (cough, cough @jonkay) leftist, but CBC was facing budget cuts & imperative to be run like a business.

      15. As CBC faced squeeze and imperative to attract younger listeners, Ghomeshi was a god-send. He fit networks need for moment.

      16. Ghomeshi got ratings, got young listeners, built the brand. His star status fit new CBC. That's why he was given incredible licence.

      17. Ghomeshi the untouchable star was one side of CBC class divide. On other side was his staff.

      18. In the neo-liberal CBC, the staff were the precariat -- contract workers, interns, people with precarious, temporary status.

          @HeerJeet for the record that defines labour in a great deal of the cultural industries not just the CBC.

          19. For the abusive star, being surrounded by an army of precariat workers, many of them young women, was ideal opportunity.

          20. Within the precariat, class solidarity is weak: people are always being shifted around, jobs are temporary.

          @HeerJeet It's by far the worst type of employment. Speak out about anything, and you're risking termination. #ClimateOfFear

          @HeerJeet @YouthAndWork I call BS on this line of argument. The BBC of the 70s was as far from neo-liberal as possible yet Jimmy Saville.

          learned a new term via @HeerJeet: 'Precariat' -- contract workers, interns, people with precarious, temporary status.
