I think ALL sources are "good" sources -- but I also believe they all suffer from bias. CBCWatch most likely wouldn't exist of if there wasn't bias. Although, CBCWatch looks like a loonie fringe site... I'll table my opinion for a while.

Here are a few links on the CBC's bias:

The Roots of CBC Bias: Its Founding Mandate

"The Government of Canada did not send troops to Vietnam under the flag of Canada. If that's what Coulter was referring to, well, she is clearly wrong. However, she may be thinking of the same thing I did, because many Canadians did go fight in Vietnam, with the blessing of Canada under the flag of the US. When I say many, I am talking in excess of 30,000 troops."

"Some have 'real news', music and interviews. Others are more propaganda-like."
Unfortunately, the CBC has long forgotten that they are taxpayer funded organization, and have evolved into being a mouthpiece for special interest groups. http://www.cbcwatch.ca/
Although I admire the locked out reporters resourcefulness at getting their message out, I can hardly sympathize with this bunch of elitist, narrow minded idiots.

The CBC is biased because they're human. Unbiased reporting is an impossibility. So how is the CBC biased? Well they're not biased towards a pro-Missile Defense, George Bush should get a third term viewpoint. I tend to think they've got a "left-wing" bias, but if you want to point out a different bias feel free. I've been criticized in this discussion for using the word "leftist" (some see it as perjorative). Of course "left wing" implies a Right Wing, a Left Wing and a balanced view in the centre. A nice pretty picture to be sure, but also total crap. There's a lot more complexity to points of view than a sliding scale. So where in the plethora of biases is the CBC? If you don't think it's leftist I'd be interested to hear where you think it is.

Sorry, messed the link. CBC Watch.
