CBC News is one of the most trusted news brands in Canada, but it's a fragile trust in the age of disinformation, polarization and undermining of legacy media. People with important information to share would have the courage and safety to be named in our stories and not face repercussions. Our ability to protect sources allows people with important information to come forward and expose matters of public interest. Some of it is quite vicious, often directed at our political journalists, many of whom endure repeated personal attacks for doing their jobs. But demanding accountability, pushing for answers, asking provocative questions, cutting through spin — these are the hallmarks of good political journalism and not the measure of bias.
