I have a lot of problems with CBC and the way they do business and report the news.
I think Levant is pretty much a clown.
I think the ruling by the CRTC is bizarre with the whole we know your being treated unfairly.
I think that the Sun does in effect bring balance to the Canadian news spectrum in terms of stories that the CBC won't report because it goes against their position pop up on the Sun broadcast.
I'm not a big fan of either the CBC or the Sun. I think the CBC is a massive waste of money at this point. I laughed when Harper won his majority because it was great to see the CBC reporting team with their heads down basically fighting back tears.
I think the Sun tries to hard to be contraversial and results in some outrightly bizarre t.v spersonalities.

I dunno, I think with statements like this you're projecting more than you're seeing things the way they are. I didn't see it it that way at all, and it wasn't because I was defending a liberal news broadcast. I was firmly in the Harper camp then.
I'm not sure how one can argue that Sun 'news' network doesn't contain more op-ed and opinion pieces, cause it simply does. You can watch both channels for 24 hours and you'll see this. I dare you. Quite simply, that is not news. And it's programs like that which are bringing down US news. Don't get me wrong, one or two of these programs a day aren't a bad thing. But they need to be rare, and they need to be clearly identified as such.
This is not to say that they're aren't problems with Canadian news networks and the CBC. This is not to say there isn't a slight left lean to the CBC. But to simply brush off that Sun is simply the other side of the spectrum and is as reliable, accurate, and newsworthy as CBC or CTV is false.
