I think the CBC is quite moderate really. I think people perceive the CBC to be left wing because of the overwhelming amount of normalized right wing messages we receive every day. I'll qualify that by stating that traditional right wing economic messages are what we are inundated with.

When the CBC even remotely questions those messages its chastized as a commie rag or something when it clearly is not. The CBC is quite right wing on the economic-political spectrum and is only moderate on the social spectrum.
I agree.

If you look at different media from around the world, the CBC is as close to "middle of the road" as you can get when it comes to news reporting. If you watch Newsworld, it is relatively unopnionated compared to Fox, CTV, CNN, Al Jazeera, and any other network I can think of.
