Since I enjoy classical music, I listen to the CBC in my car when I'm on a road trip.
Why not? I'm paying for it.
I also listen to discussions that are not of a political nature.
I turn off anything that is clearly leftist crap.
I'm a big boy, and I can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Having said that, I agree that the CBC is as it stands, very much a cash cow for the bloated management that work there. It could probably operate just as well on half the money, if they slashed the waste and the not needed management.
But expecting integrity, honesty and efficiency from any government entity is like expecting honor among thieves.
Identifying the facts, is beyond most People, they just go with what they hear repeatedly, some call that Propaganda.
There is no way media should be funded by any Government, well except maybe in China.
