I don't disagree that CBC is more left of center (at least in context to our political spectrum) in it's reporting, it's just absoulte statements like 'always' and 'never' get me going a little. This is how debates get out of control.
Your dare or homework assignment though is a little loaded. There obviously aren't as many countries that talk about, and write about Canada as the United States. The number of people in the world outside of Canada that have seen a CBC broadcast, or much less care to write about it, is probably pretty negligable, especially when compared to the number that have seen a Fox news broadcast.
None the less, I will see what I can find.

Or it's how they end.
More often than not in posts you'll see me very deliberately use qualifiers like "might" or "that could mean," etc, etc.,
So, when I use "never" I'm not sweating too hard about what might be coming back.
In a similar debate last year, I saw an article that mentioned a survey of CBC radio employees found 70% voted NDP.

I understand your point completely. You're the guy who threw the "world" into the mix so, feeling expansive today, I threw the "universe" in for fun.
I'm still confident the much-commented-on Peter Mansbridge silly grin on election night a month or so ago will stand me in good stead.
