Sigh. This article is based on scientific evidence. Please leave your politics out of it.
Anyways, the vast majority seem perfectly happy with the CBC.
Fewer than 1 in 5 Canadians want CBC funding decreased: poll

- dgudkov 5y agoThis poll was done in 2019. Things were a bit different back then. The majority is probably still happy with CBC, but the proportion could change.
- mthoms 5y agoParaphrasing your comment: "ok, you're right... but that could change one day!" Thanks tips.
- jollybean 5y agoSigh. The CBC is well known to support this government, and that reporting is biased, that's not 'political' it's just reality. While that part of the strategy 'panned out', the government was ineffective in securing vaccines despite early 'deals', all the while the CBC was not particularly hostile to this fact. That fewer that 1 in 5 Canadians want CBC funding decreased is a populist issue.
- mthoms 5y agoIt’s an article about scientific papers. It reports what they reported: The strategy worked out. Bringing up the politics of the CBC in this context is an irrelevant distraction. Claiming the article is intentionally misleading is outright lying. Note: the poster edited their post after I posted mine. It originally contained a claim that most Canadians want the CBC abolished (or something to that effect). The wording of the other claim (that the article is misleading because the CBC is biased was also toned down) Hence the “sigh”. I’m tired of people who are clearing arguing in bad faith. That proved itself in this case.
