If you’re looking for a single data-point in something as subjective as bias in media coverage, you’re doing to be disappointed.
Again, Conservative politicians in the UK have been bashing the BBC decades. Why hasn’t it caused conservatives there to turn on the BBC?
Your theory is that Harper and his messaging was so powerful that it turned millions of Canadians who would otherwise be supportive of the CBC against it. I don’t believe politicians have that kind of power. They ride currents, they don’t lead the population around by the nose.
Why is it so hard to believe that decline in support for the CBC is due in large part to the content they put out resonating with fewer Canadians? Isn’t that typically why the popularity of any media property declines?
