Way to Biased
I’ve been listening to the CBC my whole life, almost everyday at work too. The CBC always leaned left, not a problem, I hardly noticed, so do I. But lately the CBC has gone so far the the left they’ve become a parody worthy joke. It’s hard to tell sometimes if it’s an episode of “this is that”. Depending on the interview the host can be fair, reasonable, even sensitive, a strength of hers. But objectivity, however, is not her strength, in many interviews the host is hostile and prone to interrupt. It can get incredibly cringy, and sometimes upsetting, especially when you were interested in what was being said. Sometimes the segments will end at convenient times, like right right as a more conservative point is being made. And the “panels” are almost never truly a panel, often it’s 3-4 people that all agree in slightly varying degrees of Left wing opinions. Or even worse, they’ll have one conservative, who almost never gets to speak a full thought, and is really only there to be abused and mischaracterized. Seeing as this is a publicly funded program, I really wish we could get a more balanced product. I wonder if a host change would help, or if the biased goes even deeper. Either way, It’s a disservice to all of the country, by excluding the conservative perspective of roughly half the country. Thanks for your time.

This is one of my favourite shows of any kind. Smart thoughtful questions and brilliant topics.

Fabulous way to obtain in depth reporting on many subjects. I listen to it every day. It is particularly helpful to get more depth when i am away from Canada. The ONLY problem I have had is that they occasionally/rarely appear to have trouble with the download, e.g. unable to listen.

Really great topic on Early Cancer Screening episode - however the host kept interrupting the guest speaker to wrap up. I felt stressed listening
