The CBC earned its stripes/badges/medals as a left-wing organization without any help from those on the right. The CBC has had a left-wing bias for as long as I can remember. I enjoy some of the CBC's news programming, but I do so always keeping in mind that a fair amount of left-wing bias, prejudice, and spin informs the way that some of its journalists and its anchors present things.
That is pure unadulterated BS.If the CBC was biased towartds the left then they would obviously support the NDP. Well, they don't, haven't ever and never will. I stick by my earlier comment. If you care about anything other than outright support of business then you are WRONGLY called "left wing". If you are progressive then the same thing. It's just complete stupidity and crap.
The fact of the matter is that the right is REGRESSIVE in all it's ways. Therefore because their vision is so narrow and so proscribed, anything at all that falls outside of their very limited understanding is a threat and what's the biggest threat to a rightwinger???? Well of course it's the left and socialism. What the idiots fail to understand that social progress does not equal socialism by any understanding of the term.
MSNBC doesn't claim to be neutral. You can't compare "Lean Left" with "Fair and Balanced."
MSNBC is trying, but no one can outFox Fox.
I can't think of any other news channel that is so blatantly biased and yet claims to be, again, "Fair and Balanced."
While we're on that topic; whassup with the blond bimbo piece of fluff with the too short skirt sitting between the two talking heads that continually offer their "opinion" peppered with sarcasm and outright scorn? Do people below the 49th actually think what these clones are doing is reportage?
Someone should tell that poor vacuous dear that to sit with her legs crossed like that for years and years is almost a guarantee of varicose veins.
You'd get a better grasp of current events without bias by going to your local barber.

You should probably calm down. Besides, you're wrong on pretty well all counts in that post.
I find the CBC to be the most left wing of our major outlets. Political opinion pieces tend to be (with the exception of Rex Murphy) highly in favour of interventionist governmental policy and tax and spend economic systems, generally. When discussing more controversial political issues, they have, in the past, run with some pretty hysterical nonsense stories (NRA involvement in Canadian politics, Heather Mallick's piece on the American Republican leadership). They're significantly better in regards to international coverage, as they tend to provide a more sober picture, regardless of bias.
While it's a little off topic, you're also way off the mark in regards to a lot of conservatives. Personally, I'm in favour of most liberal social policy, however, I don't think the government intervention has delivered nearly the results that were promised. It seems foolish to throw good money after bad, rather than taking a pragmatic or innovative approach to problems. Of course, what the idiots fail to understand is that right wing doesn't necessarily equate to socially regressive by any understanding of the term.
Also, the Liberals are center-left and are generally the favoured party of the CBC.
What sort of media slant, if any, has been applied to Ms. Gibbons' situation? Has the media treated her as a woman who has a civil right to do what she does or as some religious fanatic who should be stopped because she's a threat to Canada's "progressive" sensibilities?

They DO support the NDP, just as they supported the left-wing Trudeau Liberals. I used to watch federal election coverage on the CBC with great amusement as the anchors and the journalists would become breathless while they discussed NDP results, gushing over the party like it was going to take power. They also tended to do this when covering provincial election results in provinces where the NDP had never held power and it wasn't likely to do so for some time, if ever. It was hilarious.
You're equally strident as those you would pretend to deride. If you want to know what an exaggerated partisan looks like, then I suggest that you go stand in front of a mirror. Limited understanding?!? That's hilarious.

Most Canadians on either end of the spectrum and all points in between no longer get worked up over abortion. That battle has been fought and decided in the eyes of most. Religion and religious beliefs don't inform political debate and discussion in Canada to anywhere near the extent that they do in the United States.

That's probably the biggest difference - Our media outlets certainly have their own biases, but we, as a country, don't generally get worked up about or bother with those social issues that seem to always be a major theme in US politics.

This.
The Canadian media outlets are more than aware that to take an overtly partisan approach to any issue of political importance in Canada would be done at the risk of derision from a wide spectrum of Canadian citizens.
