Or the whole NRA thing. How the CBC was publishing articles on the "evil organization" that is the NRA, and how they were up in Canada during the whole LGR debate. Even when they had absolutely no proof or basis to their claims. Just stirring up the whole America is evil and guns are bad thing.
First off, show me the quote where the CBC called the NRA an "evil organization." You can't attribute a provocative quote like that to a national broadcaster without citing sources.
You know, like this page, where the CBC provides the proof that the NRA was actually interfering in Canadian politics and the gun registry debate. Facts are always problematic for conservative positions.
Or if you watch debates on CBC about the LGR, you will see how biased the CBC is. They will pick a lot of "experts" for one side, but only let the other side have one representative. The chair of the conversation (from CBC) will often let the pro LGR side to interrupt the anti-side, but not vice versa.
Even if the proportioning you imply was true, at least the CBC has representation from the other side. That's not something you would get from Fox or a Fox News North.
Some of CBC's reporting can be really good and unbiased, while others the bias really sticks out. Just read/watch most of the political pieces from the CBC.
What you are experiencing here is the strange feeling of actual journalism without bias. The really good stuff fits your world view, and the other stuff is biased because it doesn't fit your world view.
Sure it's probably not bad as the most of the other news stations around the world, but to say it has no bias is pretty off base. Unfortunately most news has a bias, because the owners of such news stations have their own beliefs, and apparently they believe pushing it onto others to influence public opinion. Fox news, MSNBC etc. are all guilty of it.
You really don't get it do you? CBC is owned by the Canadian public, not a Rupert Murdoch or a Sumner Redstone. CBC is REQUIRED to reach all parts of Canada, whether these local markets are profitable or not. That's not something a private news corp is obligated to do. The CBC is obligated to be centrist and objective, whereas the owner of Fox can quite openly give millions to right-wing political parties.
I myself prefer the BBC, as far as I can tell it is the most unbiased news station I have watched.
You perceive it as unbiased because it doesn't deal directly with Canadian issues. Ironically, conservatives in the UK squawk about the BBC the same way you are about the CBC.
I will again point out that by painting centrist political views and institutions as "far-left," the extreme right is attempting to mainstream their ideology; one that is very much limited to a white Christian view of the world. That's simply not how the world works.
