CBC - Too Little Too Late ?

Well, here is John Cruikshank of the CBC admitting what some of us have been saying for a while - the CBC is a political tool for the left with no 'fair and balanced' intentions, in other words an unabashed use of public dollars for partisan gain.
Apparantly they are about to improve... will that save the corporation that has sucked the intellectual life out of Canada, or is it TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!?

CBC PUBLISHER ADMITS BIAS,PROMISES REFORM:

"..Vince Carlin, the CBC ombudsman, has now issued his assessment of the Mallick column. He doesn’t fault her for riling readers by either the caustic nature of her tone or the polarizing nature of her opinion.
But he objects that many of her most savage assertions lack a basis in fact. And he is certainly correct.
Mallick’s column is a classic piece of political invective. It is viciously personal, grossly hyperbolic and intensely partisan.
And because it is all those things, this column should not have appeared on the CBCNews.ca site...
...Ombudsman Carlin makes another significant observation in his response to complainants: when it does choose to print opinion, CBCNews.ca displays a very narrow range on its pages.
In this, Carlin is also correct.
This, too, is being immediately addressed. CBCNews.ca will soon expand the diversity of voices and opinions and be home to a diverse group of writers with many perspectives. In this, we will better reflect the depth and texture of this country.
We erred in our editorial judgment. You told us in no uncertain terms. And we have learned from it."

Of course, Mr. Cruikshank has admitted on CBC's behalf, as narrow a scope of 'crimes' as the Ombudsman's report allowed. What is needed is a sweeping reform from top to bottom. Start with television please.(I cannot abide having Peter Mansbridge 'tell me what's important about the news'.)
