I think the problem is institutional and has a lot more to do with the way they hire. If all you ever hire are journalists, producers and editors of the same political stripe, with the same views, it's pretty easy for the coverage to become highly reflective of the ideological predispositions of the people responsible for producing it. I think this echo chamber issue is far more likely than some sort of top-down liberal ploy to control the broadcasts.

The nature of our population is also biased to left of centre so it really does make sense that our national broadcaster does the same.
