I’m just not sure why people would be surprised at when the obvious is pointed out.
There’s actually quite a few examples over time and I think Firebot has done a good job of demonstrating this plus the latest stories coming out from some of the journalists talking about internal pressure etc. I’m sure everyone’s just making everything up and the CBC is the most centrist and detached from the government enterprise ever though!
Also have you ever made one post on this website without insulting people?I actually don’t think I’ve ever seen one.

I don’t think you are aware, because you’re asking questions that would be answered if you did and you hold an opinion not based on evidence or an understanding of how independent roles, offices, and crown corporations work in relation to the government. There are many more examples of those things being successfully independent (their existence depends on it) than your vague subjective experience, which isn’t relevant to this conversation. You’re legitimately confused about the difference between state run media and publicly funded media, so no, you clearly do not know, but you think you do, which is fine.
To your second paragraph, I’m not sure the biased opinions of people with individual grudges against the organization are relevant either. If we want to use more objective evaluations, we can look at the context provided in the MBFC review, rather than basing it off of your opinion or some random poster.
There was also no insult there, just a reference to things you’ve actually said when challenged on your opinion. It’s funny that you think you can talk to me the way you have and then comment on how insulting my posts are, though. Says a lot.
