CBC is purposely misleading people referring to itself as “public”. The CBC is a private corporation owned by the state. That is quite simply a state or state-owned company, compared to a public, or publicly traded company. It is not public in any sense. And it can’t claim it is public because it is is not directed by the state. It is certainly not directed by the public either. If it is not directly controlled by the state then it is managed and directed by high level bureaucrats influenced by the state and state money. No more bullshit. The CBC is a state-owned and controlled company. And it’s pure shite.
