This idea that information is a right is why people are suggesting that internet access should be essential.

With or without CBC there is no lack of access to information. Its not like CBC is breaking any new ground, or bringing in information before anyone else.
I agree that there is a right to information. I don't believe that CBC offers anything relevant to that. that can't be provided publicly by any of the other massive amounts of media outlets.
You can't even argue about the unbiased nature of CBC in delivering this news or information, as they like any other media outlet has their own slant, CBC is not exclusive in their views.
