So, any and all media controlled and/or owned via any left government and or supporters are all up in arms because they might not hold the upper hand of owning most of the manipulating media sources out there anymore.
You gotta love how its not seen as biased, manipulated, media as long as its owned and used by the leftest governments of the day.
And now they scream murder because another source for free speech and honest information has been formed.
"Among leftist hysterics over Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, one of the standouts has been Canada’s own national broadcaster. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s flagship news show, The National, opened Monday night with a report that portrayed Musk’s move as a harbinger of ideological bias and warped perspectives. This from one of the most warped and biased media in Canada, creating the potential for a Great Canadian Media Standoff. Who will Canadians pick — the old CBC or Musk’s new Twitter?"

This isn't surprising given the many horrible threats and attacks that CBC journalists have had to endure from the far right fringe.
It's that special time of year when conservatives stupidly act like they're not allowed to say Merry Christmas.

In addition to distorting the ad market because their subsidy allows them to undercut, CBC also makes it harder for private media outlets to turn readers or viewers into subscribers. As media outlets around the world move to a paywall system, CBC continues to use their subsidy to give everything away for free, further distorting the market.

Devotees of the state broadcaster won’t listen to such business-minded criticisms, nor will they allow it to be stated that even with their fat subsidy CBC doesn’t fulfill their mandate. To them, the only answer is the same one the government has arrived at — more funding from taxpayers.

Trudeau offers more funding and secures votes from CBC devotees and continued positive coverage from the most Liberal friendly outlet in the country.

Canadians need a serious rethink of CBC, a true debate on what for it should take, how it should be funded or if it should even exist. Under this government, none of that will take place, you’ll simply pay more for programs you don’t watch because it serves Trudeau’s political purposes.
Exactly. Undercut the competition (and hopefully starve them out of existence] simply because CBC is on life support from JT and the Niberals, all paid for by us, the taxpayer who wants little to do with this fossil.

How can anyone in their right mind NOT see that CBC is nothing more than a corrupt government’s mouthpiece.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

But we've been told on here that CBC is right wing.
So it must be the far left fringe. A minority? [icon_lol2.gif]

increasingly vocalized incidents of reported abuse and harassment, often on Twitter,
All that CBC reporters need is a safe room.

Or is that fake news to you guys? I know a lot of evangelical righties are blindly supportive of Israel on account of the book of Revelation and Israel’s role in the end times, so they can’t abide anything that casts a shadow on anything Israeli.

No what was mentioned was that whoever is in power seems to be favoured by CBC as the right wingers were when the Conservatives were last in power waaaaaaay back when. It just seems that the CBC is left leaning now because the Liberals have defeated the CPC to take power 3 times now and the way it's looking for the fourth time.......which of course just means that JT and the Libs will continue to receive favourable coverage until the inept Cons somehow bungle into d̶e̶c̶e̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ winning an election.

Of course it is. It's totally biased and not actually based in any truth whatsoever.
I know a lot of evangelical righties are blindly supportive of Israel
And I know a lot of far Lefties who hate Israel, because they also hate Jews.

Now - back to topic.

So true. The CBC and it's journalists are doing an amazing job and are a fantastic news source! Thank you, CBC!! :130:

Up to the trough - a bonus for you and a bonus for you, in fact 143 executive directors get a bonus . How is that even possible?
14.5 million in bonuses .This is how you get the jobless numbers down , have everyone work for the CBC .

And the very last sentence tells us taxpayers everything we suspected.
Hey taxpayers, are your teats being sucked dry yet?

A parliamentary grant of $1.3 billion is the public broacaster’s main source of revenue.
