What they try to do is remove people's awareness that there is any other point of view to hear. This is something, I'm afraid Ryan, that only those with ears to hear will automatically notice. Ryan,

But who is going to provide the funding for this project? The number of incidents, the comparison of coverage of one side or another, this stuff takes work and intelligence. Obviously a lot of people are not intellectually capable of noticing it. Others have a vested interest in not noticing. But I think for the most part, it's the air we breath. People just don't notice just another pawn in a liberal-dominated media complex. However, since a billion dollars in government funding is at stake, perhaps such a thing would be worth organizing to tighten the neck of the purse string. Ryan,

Seriously, point me to at least 2 specific examples of the CBC having a left-wing bias and maybe I'll buy into this.
