, 20:09, March 26, 2022→Accusations of liberal bias, fake news, racism and journalistic unprofessionalism: info and reflinks added
*In February 2022, the CBC ludicrously claimed, without proof, that the anti-CCP flu mandate [[Freedom Convoy]] in [[Ottawa]] was being manipulated by "Russian agents"<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/cbc_says_freedom_convoy_protesters_manipulated_by_russian_agents CBC says Freedom Convoy protesters manipulated by Russian agents] at Rebel News</ref> (basically another rehashing of the "Russian bot" canard against anything supported by conservatives which liberals do not like, while ignoring the history of the Left supporting Russia when it was under Communist rule as part of the USSR during the Cold War). In an act of journalistic unprofessionalism, the CBC later gleefully and criminally harassed financial donors to the Freedom Convoy who were victimized when they were illegally doxxed as part of the cybercriminal hacking attack against GiveSendGo, which had been hosting crowdfunding efforts to support the trucker convoy and its anti-CCP flu mandates protests;<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/15/exclusive-cbc-harassing-canadians-doxed-givesendgo-hack/ Exclusive — CBC Harassing Canadians Doxed in GiveSendGo Hack] at Breitbart News Network</ref> in doing so, however, the CBC has implicitly admitted that they now openly side with criminals.

:*Later that month, the CBC made another ridiculous claim in its news reports that Ottawa residents were "suffering" from "post-traumatic stress disorder" due to what the CBC claimed, without evidence, was "phantom honking" since the Freedom Convoy protesters were forced out of the city by heavy-handed brutal enforcement by [[Ottawa Police Service]] jackboots under Trudeau's orders; it claimed that residents were complaining about the sounds of honking horns and other truck-related noises, night and day, even though the trucks are now absent.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/gone-honking-mad-canada-state-media-claims-trucker-convoy-left-ottawa-residents-suffering-trauma-due-phantom-honking-yes-really/ They’ve Gone Honking Mad: Canada State Media Claims Trucker Convoy Left Ottawa Residents Suffering from “Trauma” due to “Phantom Honking” – Yes… Really] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> The CBC was almost universally mocked and roasted for its claims on Twitter, with many considering its reports to be nothing more than liberal delusion.

:*The CBC was also forced to retract a story it aired on its radio newscast ''The World This Hour'' that falsely claimed that the Freedom Convoy was receiving "foreign funding" (including even claiming, without proof, that Russia was providing much of the funding) to support its protests, a claim later proven false.<ref>[https://westphaliantimes.com/cbcs-most-trusted-audio-newscast-retracts-false-story-about-freedom-convoys-foreign-funding/ CBC’s “most trusted audio newscast” retracts false story about freedom convoy’s “foreign funding”]</ref>
*According to Reuters, the CBC, along with British counterpart the BBC, has withdrawn its "news" reporters from Russia while [[CNN]] has stopped broadcasting in that country following a new law passed in the Duma (Russia's equivalent of the US Congress) making it illegal, under threat of heavy fines or imprisonment, for news organizations to [[fake news|knowingly spread false information]] about the country's military (as all three companies, among other liberal media outlets, have done in recent years regarding most of their "news" reports).<ref>[https://welovetrump.com/2022/03/04/cnn-to-stop-broadcasting-in-russia-after-new-law/ CNN to Stop Broadcasting in Russia After New Law]</ref>

*In March 2022, the CBC made another ludicrous claim, while pushing the "[[climate change]]" agenda, in an opinion article on its website when it complained that covering the [[Russia-Ukraine conflict]] was "distracting" the public from "climate change" issues.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/03/13/canadian-broadcaster-complains-ukraine-war-distracts-from-climate-change/ Canadian Broadcaster Complains Ukraine War ‘Distracts’ from Climate Change] at Breitbart News Network</ref>
*The CBC was found guilty of libel in the largest defamation case to be heard in Manitoba courts since 1998 and was ordered to pay $295,017 in court fees and $1,659,403 in damages when the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba ruled that the state broadcaster engaged in libel against Winnipeg investment advisor Kenneth Muzik in 2012 and smeared his reputation when it aired deceptively-edited clips of a secretly recorded audio conversation with Muzik as part of a series of news reports that alleged unethical professional behavior by Muzik, which was later disproved when the full two-hour audio recording of the interview was later made available; in the court's ruling, the CBC was found to have engaged in unprofessional, deceptive and misleading journalistic behavior in its attempt to damage Muzik's reputation.<ref>[https://westphaliantimes.com/cbc-forced-to-pay-1-95-million-in-libel-case-as-court-finds-it-failed-in-its-duty-to-be-fair-balanced-and-responsible/ CBC forced to pay $1.95 million in libel case as court finds it “failed in its duty to be fair, balanced and responsible”]</ref>
*During a one-year period between March 2021 and March 2022, the CBC was forced to publicize nearly one correction per week during that period after it was shown to have lied on 33 different occasions regarding news stories it reported, including [[fake news|its false reports]] on the Freedom Convoy and its funding, its use of manipulated propaganda from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its airing of a manufactured story on the [[CCP flu pandemic]] intended to make the pandemic look far worse than it really was (including its use of a mannequin in place of an actual ICU patient in a studio setting made up to look like a hospital ICU, for which the CBC was roasted on its Edmonton TV station CBXT's Twitter page<ref>Two references:
*[https://thecountersignal.com/cbc-uses-mannequin-instead-of-patient-to-show-crowded-icu/ CBC uses mannequin instead of patient to show crowded ICU]
*[https://thecountersignal.com/cbc-admits-they-used-mannequin-in-covid-propaganda/ CBC admits they used mannequin in COVID propaganda]</ref>).
*Another lie by the CBC was exposed when, after it claimed that Justin Trudeau received a "standing ovation" for his speech at a meeting of the [[European Parliament]], it was revealed that it had conveniently left out the condemnations against Trudeau by several European politicians during the meeting<ref>[https://thecountersignal.com/here-are-the-politicians-who-have-denounced-trudeau-at-the-eu/ Here are the politicians who have denounced Trudeau at the EU]</ref> and that most of the Parliament had walked out on Trudeau in protest before he began his speech in front of a nearly-empty Parliament chamber, all to cover for Trudeau and his hypocritical support for [[Ukraine]]'s [[neo-Nazi]] regime in the wake of his tyrannical crackdown against the Freedom Convoy.<ref>[https://thecountersignal.com/cbc-claims-trudeau-got-a-standing-ovation/ CBC claims Trudeau got a standing ovation, doesn’t mention empty parliament or denouncement]</ref>
Because of its left-wing bias and pushing of Liberal Party and SJW propaganda in the majority of its programming ([[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation#Low ratings|see below]]) while being funded by taxpayer money and simultaneously competing for advertising money (via CBC Television and sister French network Ici Radio-Canada Télé) with privately-owned English TV networks CTV, [[Global Television Network|Global]] and Citytv, French-language private networks TVA and Noovo and [[independent station]]s, critics of the CBC who object to the use of taxpayer funds to support its liberal bias have, over the years, called for the privatization (or in some cases, the abolition) of the CBC.<ref>Multiple references:
