‘There’s some merit to the criticism that CBC has a left-leaning bias’: Expert panel sees a murky future for the CBC


Canada needs some kind of public broadcaster, but the CBC isn’t currently doing a good job filling that role, a panel of experts agreed on Wednesday. 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. The Conservative leader hasn’t backed down from the promise since winning the leadership, but he has narrowed down his targets to the English-language side of the public broadcaster. Radio-Canada’s French services, Poilievre has hinted, would remain largely untouched. Some experts think it would be extremely complicated to slash one side of the public broadcaster and not the other, though.
