With competition from streaming services, a quickly-changing broadcast and news landscape, and diminished trust in the public broadcaster, the future of the CBC is as murky as ever.
Tara Henley, a former CBC producer who now runs a popular Substack, said the CBC lost trust when Canadians started to see it as overly politicized.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre made defunding the CBC a centrepiece of his leadership campaign, sparking raucous chants in support of the idea at his rallies across the country.
I’m lefty and I acknowledge it’s a center left liberal media. All medias have editorial lines and bias. All of them. Things are, just reporting facts is boring and you couldn’t not attract much audience just by doing a fact reporting in bullet points. Also, Numbers don’t lie, but they can tell whatever you want.
