1. The complaints of bias are negligible at best.
2. 3. Those who want it abolished are at an extreme end of the other side. There are lots of centrists who want to keep it, mostly because PRETTY MUCH EVERY COUNTRY HAS PUBLIC BROADCASTING. And most countries are not culturally dominated by the world's last superpower. Would you not expect Taiwan or Ukraine to have public broadcasting to keep the narrative towards national concerns.
4. Many shared news stories originate in MSM. The fact that onshore propaganda is landing makes the CBC and domestic media ESSENTIAL
So I mistyped. I meant cbc news, not cbc in general. Cbc has a place in our culture. Cbc news is more problematic if editorial bias creeps in.
