The mistake people always make is assuming left wing partisan = blind support for Trudeau/liberal party. Which is not what that means. The CBC isn't being accused of being a propaganda arm for a particular party. Not is it not about just blatantly supporting a single centre-left political party.

The biases are about ideologies and how idea/stories/people are presented, spun, or casually dismissed in general. A big one is what sources are used.

Additionally, even shamelessly partisan rags like WaPo or Vox would be critical of obvious democrat mistakes too. The bar isn't that low yet where something like SNC wouldn't be covered. It's often in the details and the stuff not said or treat uncritically.



Would you provide some examples of where you think CBC is being left-wing partisan? Also, I wonder why you are so focused on left-wing partisan examples and apparently not at all on right-wing partisan examples?

Because I and others are not forced to pay for National Post et al to exist via taxes. Nor are the other ones claiming to be neutral.

Why else would I be talking about CBC and the implications of state-sanctioned media? That's the context. The misguided idealism they'll be neutral.
