If you’re 10 years old and someone says to you: your mamma wears army boots (which was *the* insult for a bit of time) and you feel a wave of shame run from the bottom to the top of your body because your mother *does* wear army boots but like not like that

Wow, you hit the nail on the head & then got the sledgehammer out for the finishing touch. That's what has been so frustrating, as both a Canadian and "media person": watching the CBC position itself as any other independent TV channel, media org, or publisher. There's a ton of IP that CBC could be leveraging across all social networks (and, like, where is the CBC content social media platform?) but it seems like the organization is oddly unable to see itself as the rightful world leader in Canadian content.
I disagree and think the government funded/publicly funded/accountable to parliament is a good hair to split, but it's just that. I think you briefly highlighted the difference in this situation between impartiality and bias which I think is absolutely something that should be hammered on.
I also think there is a lot of benefit here to ask why publicly funded media is biased and privately funded is not, but then again the opposition isn't really one to reason.
I do wonder how much traffic Twitter is actually driving to CBC websites and whether it has decreased since Musk took over last year. I have a strong suspicion that usage has actually declined and will continue to decline, making Twitter less useful for reporters and news media companies, and increasingly like 4Chan.

Also, hilariously, he is government-funded.
