I suppose one could understand these narrow views, if they only listened to the cbc for politics. but millions of us know thats not true. Who pays for the national radio in other countries? Who pays for NPR and BBC... are americans whining about their national broadcast system?? I dunno, I will check.
Its not about the CBC bias or supposed bias, its about canada having a national broadcasting system paid for by taxpayers. Well sorry to burst you bubble, but there are millions of canadians that listen to the CBC for great programing about this country.
