I think what gets lost is bias vs lack of independence. The CBC has a center left bias to some arbitrary line where people drew the Center. This bias happens to align more or less where the liberals currently reside.

If you go back to other liberal governments when the threat was from the right rather than the left the CBC would have been to the left of the liberals who were a Center right party in the Chrétien / Martin years.
Now in all scenarios they are independent of the government regardless of the bias in their reporting.
For example the globe and mail is right Center bias and highly factual
