I think it’s more the demographics of journalists skews toward college education, CBC also ensures its journalist reflect the population so you have representative samples of men, women, whites indigenous and other POCs. The White name is over represented in conservatives. College educated skew more left.
So if you look at the demos of the CBC you are going to be further left than the average Canadian population.
You might ask why corporate owned news doesn’t skew this way and the answer would be advertisers and the other interests of the owners.
