Funny thing is almost everyone and their dog in Britain thinks BBC has been controlled by the Tories. I've not seen any evidence of CBC being overwhelmed by lefties either. People on the left size of the political spectrum constantly moan about CBC having too many conservative commentators and such.

Everyone accuses the BBC of leaning the opposite direction from them, which is a sign that they're doing something right I guess.

> BBC are all fairly infamously left-leaning though

Huh? Next you'll be saying the Tories are left-leaning :)

Neither CBC, ABC, or BBC are "infamously left-leaning". They are very much all center. That's literally one of their biggest criticisms, that they're too "boring" by not taking more of a stand on anything.

Also, important to note: Rupert Murdoch is directly involved in the funding of trying to convince people that these public broadcasters are "too left leaning". For his own profitable gains, as the more people turn away from them, the more they turn to stations he owns. Something to think about.

Oh please. Cry me a river. Australia’s right-wing government ran a decade-long ABC smear campaign which included multiple government-mandated enquires, of the government’s design mind you, to try to prove and weed out bias at the ABC.

1. They didn’t really find anything of note. 2. The whole exercise has scared many at the ABC into not doing good journalism 3. The decade of budget cuts which had a negligible effect on the bottom line but were a fantastic way to virtue signal to the party’s right-wing fan base took away from, among other things, the quality of the ABC’s journalistic output.

You’re looking at a news org that was run under a right-wing government for a decade, including them installing one of their own at the top, and telling me that there’s ‘left-ring bias’? The assertions you’re making about things “never happening” don’t reflect journalistic content I see being pumped out of the ABC ALL the time.

Most of the people who run the BBC are linked to the Tory party (who are very right wing). It generally acts as a propaganda arm of the government.

It used to swing left wing in, like, the 1980s and it used to be independent until the Hutton enquiry.

Calling the famously transphobic bbc left wing is a hilarious joke.
