Totally missed the boat on that one. That's the problem. News is not supposed to cater, it's supposed report and tell truths.
One can talk about a CBC bias and I'm sure there is, bias is impossible to eliminate. But it's going to be (and is) far more fair than ones 'catering' to customers. Or advertisers.
Strangely enough, what was till recently the most reputable news org in the world is also publicly funded. The BBC. And the CBC does have excellent reputation worldwide.
Fox and Sun and media outlets funded the sane way are far closer to the evils of state sponsored news than public ones.
