The CBC was not a news organization during that event, it was a mouthpiece for the government's positions and talking points. People noticed this. The BBC has it's issues as well, but I wouldn't call them a mouthpiece for the government, certainly not the Torries.
Eh, the views of the BBC bias flips all the time. I have seen them accused of bias in both directions in recent years. Peter Osborne lambasted the BBC years ago for left-leaning bias, and now accuses them of conservative bias. I'll be honest, the bias I always have concerns with when it comes to news media is institutional bias, and that is what state funding tends to enable most of all.
