Limit opinions and stick to news and facts, basically. And get rid of Barton. Stuff like that.

Just because an organization says something with which I disagree doesn't mean it is biased. I don't really think that the CBC is going around and pushing Liberal talking points and I do think that it is relatively neutral in news coverage. Whenever there is a political debate/conversation there is equal time given to people who represent conservatives as well as liberals. I don't think I can think of many examples of outright bias that seems to be the Ben Mulroney talking point.
Additionally, I appreciate having media that isn't dictated by advertising revenue. I enjoy having my perspective challenged and like the fact that CBC tends to do that with their radio shows in particular. I do think that they have poorly utilized new means of communication and would do well by having more youtube shorts and the like. Make it easy to digest news information and easier to access.
