Of course this is true. Time and time again, just looking at the way conversations go here, the same people accuse the CBC of the same things, are corrected or shown evidence of why their perception is unfounded the same number of times, and come back just the same the next time to spout more nonsense about the CBC.
Expressive hatred or distrust of the CBC is more crucial / foundational to the average "conservative" identity these days than any sense of economic conservatism. Even if CBC was defunded, they'd just want the money funneled into corporate welfare. It's a circus and an enjoyable one at that. CBC bad! Anger!
