Yes, that is significantly true. Especially when you start comparing it to all of the alternatives.
Postmedia - American & Republican owned
CTV - Owned by Bell
Global - Owned by Corus
etc. etc.
CTV and Global may not be in the same realm of misinformation and propaganda as Fox Infotainment but they still pick and choose their stories based on what is approved by the people up the chain.
The Conservatives like to suggest that the CBC just does the bidding of the Liberal party but the truth is that most CBC reporters are just being honest and calling the Conservatives on their BS when they do it. The Conservatives hate that and would rather get a lapdog rag like Rebel News or Western Standard who will ignore truth and just smear propaganda.
In Alberta, the CBC is probably the most trustworthy news agency, followed by some independents like Nate Pike.
