Wow. This is a remarkably good take on the CBC. I could never quite put my finger on why their coverage seems so “off”, but this sums up my observations as well.
At least in the US you have a few different news sources all with their own bias. But the CBC is looked up somewhat as an institution and god damn Peter Mansbridge is a handsome man.
I’ve seen stories covered in the US media and on CBC and it’s apparent the CBC provides an even narrower viewpoint.
And don’t get me started on how most coverage of the US tends to have the conclusion “aren’t you glad we aren’t as bad as the US? may be you should stop complaining about our governments little missteps?”
