That said, there is an obvious bias of support for the federal liberals, when it comes to politics and political action, and it is worth regularly discussing this fact, and indeed the bias of all news broadcasts with respect to this. However the CBC, specifically CBC news deserves extra scrutiny based on its status as a publicly funded platform. Does that mean defund them, no? It means setting up a realistic amount of accountability.

Have you seen any actual neutral analysis on this? I just did a search and haven't found anything other than angry Sun and WS opinonists arguing it. You would think if it was so obvious academics would have studied it, no?
