The Walmart-tization of Mass Media

[Zebra 3]

In a nutshell, the CBC doesn't march to the government's beat as you are suggesting. It's obvious that you do not watch this network, at least on a regular basis, because if you did you'd realize that they're more reliable, objective (including criticism against the gov't) as a news source as to compare to CNN, which I only watch periodically to have a good laugh. As for reliable news sources which cover international events, there's few of them because of the cost attached of having foreign bureaus.
