Bud: On CBC-Watch
Bias in the CBC--- where does one start, and more importantly, how could one ever finish? Still, I will take the lastest egregious example. I caught the story on CTV Newsnet, that 21 suspected Pakistani terrorists were rounded up after a long investigation. The disturbing evidence against them is now well known. Did CBC pick up this story and run with it? Well, they did—briefly--after the third day, when every other media outlet had bannered it. The CBC--"Trusted, Connected, Canadian", is none of these things. I suspect the big boys did not want to expose just how lax our IRB has become, and thus embarass their political masters. And, boo, hoo, the Muslim community might be unhappy with the exposure. To my knowledge, they finally carried the story for two days, but dropped it as if it had leprosy. Typical PC behaviour on the CBC's part! Keep on bashing the b*****ds!

Note: Have no fear, Bud. I intend to point out my own examples. To report your own egregious examples of CBC’s bias and just plain omitting any story it does not want to report, you might want to write to:
