But I agree with you and others, as far as news and journalism goes CBC is one of the best and way better than anything on US TV.
Interesting how the two examples of decent journalism brought up in this thread are both reliant on public funding and less on advertising revenue.

Not saying this is the cause, but I do think the coupling of journalism with advertising revenue is a big motivator behind the current state of things.

Guess it depends what you want: government mouth piece or corporate shills.
