Okay, then highest profile among the general public. The point is that if another professor had the social media profile of Peterson but different politics, the CBC would be fawning all over him. The CBC doesn't even pretend to be impartial or even-handed any more when it comes to any subject touching on identity politics.

And I'm not some Peterson fanboy. But the unwillingness to even engage with the issues he raises betrays the narrow-minded and dogmatic way the CBC has come to treat social issues in recent years. They've become just another polarized echo chamber.
