Academics regularly do content analysis on the CBC and all other media broadcasters. Unsurprisingly you get many different conclusions. Suggesting that academics are not biased is hilarious. The Arts are explicitly biased. Folks in Academia do rigorous research and pass through peer review, but they are still biased. Arts are not science. science cannot be applied directly to the humanities. Doing science about humanities is like dancing about architecture. News will always be biased, the discussion is not biased vs unbiased the discussion is - is this bias tolerable? or is this bias supported by quality research?
As for the CBC new I will reiterate my opinion. I think the CBC news bias is tolerable, but worth monitoring and discussing because of its status as a publicly funded organization.
