I would honestly much rather support more investigate reporting like The Fifth Estate. I don't think it gets enough support of recognition for what it they do and its an important service to help protect Canadians.

Oh, well if Cliff posted it, then absolutely. It must be unbiased and true. Cut it!
Private companies aren't covering the diverse range of issues with a Canadian perspective like the CBC does. Do they even send reporters overseas anymore?
And remember, once it's gone, it's gone. We aren't getting it back. Just because you don't value it, doesn't mean it doesn't have value. I'd argue most of the people who hate the CBC in these threads(and probably Canada in general) would be a lot better off watching it, because their knowledge and media literacy gets repeatedly corrected. Our democracy is stronger with truth from the media, and the CBC is an ally in that, not an enemy.
Is the CBC perfect? No, of course not, but what is? Take the good, and don't worry so much about the rest. Because I can assure you, politicians are pissing your tax dollars away on a lot less worthy initiatives.
