Why does the CBC “lie” like this on its webpage? It is trying to downplay the fact that government funds the vast majority of the organization — because they understand what that implies. (He who pays the piper calls the tune!) Just like our media never attacked the hand that fed them during the pandemic, the CBC is never going to attack the government. This is why the CBC ALWAYS advanced the “authorized” narrative, from vaccine and lockdown mandates to smearing the truckers as right-wing Nazis or Russian agents.
There’s no doubt that there’s a “CBC Files” somewhere out there with emails detailing how the Canadian government worked hand-in-hand with the CBC to ensure “the proper” covid (or climate) information was published by the paper. (Just like the US government and the UK government.) If you’re keeping track at home, that’s exactly the opposite of journalistic independence.
