The CBC is a big part of the reason Canada isn't as messed up as the US.

Canada has for-profit media and plenty of media that leans left or right. But, CBC exists to anchor that media universe with a boring, institutionalist, honest view.

The US has NPR and PBS but I'm guessing they're not as influential as the CBC is in Canada

I don't even think PBS & NPR are as well funded (though I don't have sources to support that). That's why they're always doing telethons and thanking "viewers like you" for supporting their programming.

And they’ve already had massive funding cuts and corporate sponsors stepped in.

So why so you think poliviere is trying to get rid of it?

CBC has too much of a pro fact bias

"Reality has a well known liberal bias"

Unless it would cost them money.

Not sure if you're joking or serious
