Well, there are far left news outlets, but there are relatively few people who will say, "the Globe and Mail prints nothing but lies and propaganda; what you need to read is the Tyee and the Narwhal, they'll tell you how things
really are". There's almost no one like that on the left. There are MANY people who say those sorts of things on the right about their preferred sources of reality.
Of course the flip side is that CBC news will have correspondents from both of those outlets regularly appear on their TV to say whatever they like without much protest, whereas you're not likely to see someone from the Rebel do the same. So... there's that.
