First of all, you need to pay attention. I said the CBC was state-subsidized, not state-run . The government merely funds the CBC. The government has no active, day-to-day role in the management of the corporation. It operates at arms length, a key principle in the operation of Crown Corporations. The government cannot merely abolish Crown Corporations without the official approval from the electorate, nor can it significantly reduce the funding of an institution like the CBC without drawing fire from every corner of Canadian society. The CBC is run like a private corporation, except that the shareholders are all tax-paying Canadian citizens.

Uh, yes, you do, Sparky. How does this I-heard-this-story-from-the-friend-of-a-friend's-cousin anecdote prove your original point that the CBC is partisan? It only shows that the CBC sometimes makes idiotic choices in its programming, but that's not we're arguing about.

First, you prove to me that mainstream American television news sources (CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News) are objective and reliable.
