Like the British BBC and the Australian ABC, (and more?), the CBC is at arms length from the currently serving government, and was setup intentionally to be independent.

- octodog 7y agoAustralians trust the ABC more than any other media outlets by quite a large margin too.
- cycomanic 7y agoOne of the reasons why the liberals (the Australian Conservative party) have been trying to gut and defund them. They are much happier with the murdoch press, who had headlines like "vote this bastards out" (don't remember the exact phrase but it was direct like that) as a headline some years ago arguing to vote out the Labour government. It's always interesting to see how some people always argue that news sources should be neutral and report only on facts if there are some left leaning opinions published, but completely ignore the blatant electioneering that goes on in the murdoch press.
