Protected him? I've been away in the US on a business trip and so may have missed something, but last I heard Harper was distancing himself from Mulroney.. and even launched an inquiry of some sort into it? Has something changed?

Who really cares where the questions come from....as long as they are answered its irrelevant in my eyes.

If the CBC (and other news agencies) submit questions to a political party, and the political party thinks they're good questions and re-words them and/or combines them with other content, then that's okay.
If the CBC (or another news agency) team up with a political party, what is separating the two of them? Aren't news agencies supposed to report the news, and not make it?
As Mykalberta said above (in somewhat of an obtuse manner), FoxNews is routinely bashed as a mouthpiece for the Republican party. As a private business, it has every right to do whatever it wants. The CBC is a public business, funded by the government. Shouldn't it be a lot more independent from a political party (especially one not in power)?
