The Government should not be in the business of funding news reporting OR editorializing. It's high time to move to a private financing model, or a matching model like PBS. CBC provides very little return on the amount we spend, and the fact they have a clear bias is wrong in every way.

I wasn't commenting on whether it was right or wrong, I was giving an example.

I love the CBC, well more specifically CBC newsworld, you make it sound like their bias pervades every aspect of their programming, which it clearly does not. The editorializing is pretty obvious and open, it's not like they are masking a news story with propoganda (i.e. George Strombolopolous (sp?)).

My concern with privatizing the CBC is you end with quality news outlets like the U.S. has....which is to say, none.
