Media Bias or viewers seeing what they want to see?

Its just like fox news, half the world thinks it liberal, and the other half thinks its ultra-conservative. I watch the Hour quite a bit, and i've found it to be a mix of people from all over the political spectrum. They've even interviewed people form the church of Satan!

I saw the clip. That was quite interesting. So......... is he left or right?? Depends on who you ask. XD

I never watched the show before. I probably will check out the show to see if it is biased. lol !!!!!

I watch The Hour fairly often and like it, but I think it's fairly obvious that George Stroumbolopoulos leans to the left of centre (which may be why I like it).

It isn't really a news show, though. For serious news, Peter Mansbridge is a better bet...

Oh yeah, george is on the left, that much is clear. But i wouldn't say he is a full out liberal.

I totally agree, I listen to CBC radio now as much as the local music station. I don't see really any bias at all, I hear left wing stuff , right wing stuff. It's really quite interesting to listen to.

I doubt George Strombouloplis even votes. He regularly has people on from all sides of the political spectrum. He has taken viewpoints from right, left, and centre in his closer.

The segment on his bias was good...it showed how balanced the CBC is.

Well hell, if I was on the board of the CBC and with the Liberals being in power for so long, I'd contribute to them to. I think they call that job security....... :wink:

I don't watch CBC television too much, now that there's no Hockey Night in Canada, but I do listen to CBC radio1 and it's not very bias in my opinion. It's a good listen to hear both sides of an arguement.
