==Accusations of Liberal Bias==
==Accusations of Liberal Bias==
The CBC is accused of having a predominantly [[liberal bias]] by right-wing media outlets in the United States and Canada. It has long supported the positions of the [[Liberal Party of Canada]], acting as a government lapdog when the Liberals are in power (much like the [[mainstream media]] does with the [[Democrat Party]] in the United States) and as a "watchdog" against the government when the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]] form the government in [[Ottawa]]. While the CBC is mandated to present an entirely non-partisan viewpoint, most scholars agree that the CBC instead opts for the position of consensus - hence its opposition to opponents of "[[global warming]]" and its predominantly hostile take on [[Creationism|biblical creation]] and [[intelligent design]], earning it harsh reviews from groups with interests in creationism.
