The description of government used in this piece is based on semantics. Legally, Parliament is supreme in a Parliamentary system and is thus the government. You might consider the government to only be the executive made up of certain MPs, but ultimately, it's beholden to Parliament, it makes the laws. Thus, it's entirely accurate to describe the CBC as "government-funded". There is nowhere near as much daylight between the CBC and government as there is between the BBC and NPR and their respective governments. And yes, it may appear to be a little pejorative, but in two words, how else would you characterize it?
Two words: "Crown Corporation" The whole point of a crown corporation (whether or not government funded, and many aren't) is the independent, arms-length relationship between the government and the corporation. (Otherwise, it could all be, much more simply, managed as just another government department.)
@@bernardkung7306 The annual funding, however, is distinct from Crown Corp. Being a Crown Corporation doesn't imply that the corporation finances it annual operating budget with government funding. It's an ownership relationship, that's it.

But at the end of the day, The CBC is payed for by Canadian taxpayers. Thankfully those days of billions of dollars are numbered.

CBC trying to stick to the facts???
This video is 12 minutes of hurt feelings you and I are paying for.
Wow, the way he described CCTV and RT are a bit like how I would describe the CBC, at least increasingly within the last 3 to 5 years or so. Starts at 7:58
the best part is it shows the RT clips that calls the Ukraine soldiers tools of the US government. Which would actually be accurate. Its amazing how they are so far up their own butts that they literally can't even tell what is truth and what are lies anymore.
You obviously never watched Russian television on the youtube channel "Russian Media Monitor" (www.youtube.com/@russianmediamonitor). There is a world of difference. You don't like the CBC, you disagree with it, that is fair and your right. Comparing it to RT or CCTV, that is false and an a gross exaggeration. You are making yourself guilty of exactly what you are accusing the CBC of doing... as so many other commentators. By the way, I am no fan of the CBC. But I am even less of a fan of BS and lies or uninformed beliefs presented as facts..
LOL shadowbanned comments. cowards.
The funding literally comes from the government deciding on CBC's budget. You're arguing semantics but the truth is CBC's budges is decided by the government. Is CBC ashamed of being government funded? Why disable your twitter account? If CBC was genuinely concerned about journalistic integrity they would wear the 'government funded' badge with honour, yet they don't.

The Canadian Media Fund gives $750 annually and only 5% of that is given by corporations the rest is from the Federal government. Which means yes you are a Government Funded Agency and your credibility is no different than that of any Russian or China state owned agency.
@@randomreviews1461 Yes, it is funded by the federal government with approval by ALL members of parliament. It is a crown corporation serving the people of Canada and NOT the governing party. It is overseen by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) and its contents is produced with context of the Canadian Broadcasting Policy operating under the mandate set out in the Broadcasting Act of 1991. Stephen Harper tried to change the rules with him appointing some of his political friends in positions within the Commission. One of the reasons he was booted out. PP supported this interference and it seems to be why he is puckering up to Musk. PP has an axe to grind. Typical self serving con-servative.
Is he saying cbc is be misrepresented. Hmm. Bit like the way they reported on the convoy.
I would like to know about corporate funding as well!

The CBC 2021/2022 annual report shows CBC received 1.4 billion dollars from the federal government.

What % of ad revenue also comes from government?
Every Canadian knows the CBC is beholden to the government and particularly the Liberal party. You’d be hard pressed to find a more biased media in the whole, wide world.
@DSP's Famous Finish you’re a bot or cannot follow a money trail
If you aren't government funded then give us our money back.
@Gagnarörk the government is clearly funding them. If they want that label removed than they need to give us (the public) our money back.
I guess you don’t understand.
@gagnarorkaaa did...the snake eats it’s tail....😮
CBC used to be a 100% journalistic broadcaster, then came the budget cuts under the Conservative..... So the old CBC 100% journalistic started becoming a 50% journalistic and 50% propagandist broadcaster which is what it has become.......... Sorry CBC, I have been listening to you for 40+ year and as a fan of CBC I want it to return to be independent broadcaster, not a 50% independent broadcaster. CBC, it's time to look yourself in the mirror and admit the obvious change that has occurred that turned you into a political tool of the so called self labeled "progressive" political actors.
I can't listen to an indigenous program without a guest being part of or supporting the LGBTQ+ agenda, colonization or residential schools. They actively promote the progressive agenda of the federal government, and can no longer be objective programming. PS I wouldn't vote for PP because I don't support the defunding of the CBC..
I don't feel like the CBC effectively represents both sides of the political spectrum. I think the government funded media lable is accurate.
If CBC talked about a few of the countless vaccine side effect cases, I wonder how much funding they would still get from the government?
Good point.
CBC has a liberal platform that represents the general population.. the general consensus is vaccines help.. this isn’t fringe it’s just not radical conservative.
@@briane596able Briane, science is not consensus. I hope you able to grasp the subtlety of that? Mob mentality is consensus. Science and logic are our only defence against irrationality.

Aww poor government funded media crying😢
The fact that all of these media organizations are getting so bent out of shape over accurate funding says all you need to know.
CBC is the best tool for Trudeau. Look how theirs questions to Liberal are always full of honey. They are the best fan of Trudeau and his woke agenda. What a difference with true journalist like Rebel News.
You poor misguided fool.
Rebel News is crap, same as True North. It's only there to confuse people and get clicks.
Should be labelled "Government garbage"
CBC have a very thick institutional skull.
Oh twitter will not miss you
It's pretty self explanatory CBC. It means you are government funded. Just like Pravda.
Government funded media doesn't like being called government funded?
Also any revenue CBC generates should go back to the taxpayers
You clowns got rocked. Well deserved
Nah thats just sad lil pp and sad lil elon whining like sad lil micro penised incels
you’re operating on a low wattage 💡.
The description of government used in this piece is based on semantics. Legally, Parliament is supreme in a Parliamentary system and is thus the government. You might consider the government to only be the executive made up of certain MPs, but ultimately, it's beholden to Parliament, it makes the laws. Thus, it's entirely accurate to describe the CBC as "government-funded". There is nowhere near as much daylight between the CBC and government as there is between the BBC and NPR and their respective governments. And yes, it may appear to be a little pejorative, but in two words, how else would you characterize it?
The entire segment was a contorted exercise in motivated reasoning. Embarrassing for CBC really.
Two words: "Crown Corporation"
The whole point of a crown corporation (whether or not government funded, and many aren't) is the independent, arms-length relationship between the government and the corporation. (Otherwise, it could all be, much more simply, managed as just another government department.)
@@bernardkung7306 The annual funding, however, is distinct from Crown Corp. Being a Crown Corporation doesn't imply that the corporation finances it annual operating budget with government funding. It's an ownership relationship, that's it.
1 comment missing
@@bernardkung7306 this “Crown Corporation” does have a clear bias,
Less then 2 weeks before the last federal election in Canada, The CBC unsuccessfully and frivolously sued The Conservative Party, over use of 17 seconds of video, A federal judge dismissed the case with prejudice, as the content clearly fell under fair use.
But at the end of the day, The CBC is payed for by Canadian taxpayers. Thankfully those days of billions of dollars are numbered. It’s time for CBC to privatize and not be given such an enormous amount of taxpayer dollars for a service no longer required, CBC past its best before date about 20 years ago.
Russian media/Chinese media are labeled at “STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA”
CBC gets (government funded label)
Goes on anti conservative, conspiracy theory rant. 😂
@Sean Downey exactly, twitter can update its policies to make it as clear as possible, like any media corporation that gets more then say 25% of its funding, or over X hundreds of millions in funding.
Remember when’s the CBC unsuccessful sued the Conservative Party 2 weeks before the last federal election about using 17 seconds of video in a campaign AD (it was rightfully throw out, as Federal Judge ruled in favour of Conservative Party (Free and fair use)
But that’s not being biased at all.
Ironically russian and chinese media actually do have more journalistic independence
The conspiracy theory is on the Conservative side.
@@thekretch what conspiracy are you referring to exactly?
@@thekretch still waiting for what conspiracy you are referring too. Only one I can think of involving the CBC and the conservatives. Days before our last federal election. The CBC unsuccessfully sued the Conservative Party of Canada over use of 17 seconds of video. The federal judge tossed the case as the content clearly fell under fair use copyright, Judge called the case frivolous at best, That’s not the CBC being bias at all, a taxpayer funded, crown corporation filing a lawsuit against a major political party just days before an election. I guess you’re right.
On the rare occasion I watch CBC, I get the impression it's very pro Trudeau..Am I wrong?
Yes. Pollievre is just doing what oppositions do. He repeats things many times until people think it's true
Uneducated with short attention spans don't take time to research the truth.
The distinction between government and parliament is semantics. CBC is government funded.
You parroted Lieberal talking points through Covid and the trucker convoy. NPR has nothing to do with CBCs funding
It's time to reduce CBC funding. One thing that is costly and should go is the television news and just focus on radio. Focus on actual Canadian content, docs and local stories. Btw, government funded media is factual, does CBC have a problem with the truth?
It's time to cut. Having a government propaganda channel is one thing. Paying for it is another.

@@wbennin Simple. Being a De-facto PR branch for the Liberal government.
@@venomtang You're the same kind of ignoramus as those who were bashing the CBC as "Tory PR" when Harper was PM.
@@wbennin Caught attempting to mask itself as somehow being independent from the government, namely the Liberal government. It is no mystery that Conservatives have traditionally wanted to defund the CBC whereas the Liberals have wanted to further fund it. It has a heavy Liberal bias as a result, yet it has tried to cover this up. Whether you like it or not, at least Fox News owns its conservatism as do all its hosts, which is very admirable as opposed to the clowns at CBC and its clown viewers.
@@thedukeofdukers get wrecked. CBC and Libs were exposed. Get a nice cold ice cube for that butthurt
CBC news, Thank you for not censoring your funders this time by disabling comments. Sincerely, Canadian Public
It is government funded whether you like it or not lol
Yeah as opposed to all the other media owned by a couple of corporations owned by billionaires. Like the pathetic bootlickers groveling to elon, the man who lost the most money ever and owns twitter.
Twitter's definition of government funded was the issue. You have the critical thinking skills of a toddler.
No one denies that... did you even watch the video? The issue is that the definition of the label according to twitter means the CBC content is controlled by the government which it isnt!
It's funded by parliament, of which many members are not members of the government.
Call it taxpayer funded and pay it all back if you are so independent, problem solved,
You guys deserve it! There is no reason to be “upset” you are funded by us! And I don’t even listen or watch your garbage! Good on Elon to label you!
There is no garbage. There is excellent programing that reaches millions of Canadians. I've been listening for years. What do you listen to? Rap crap?
"I'm shocked! Shocked to find government funding going on!", lol
I like the transparency, telling your viewers what percentage is govt funded. It should not be viewed in a negative way. Its all for the sake of openness and transparancy.
Mainstream media hates transparency. They only love narratives.
Hopefully the CEO and reporters and editors don't make more then other Canadian broadcasters that are not government funded

They literally all get government funding in Canada, CTV, Global, Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, National Post. CBC.
Nice to read all these great comments....in before the comment section gets closed.....
Trying to explain the obvious. 😂
“CBC Splaining”?!
If all the media channels leaves Twitter it doesn’t affect anything. Crying out with the pants down. 😂
Why are so many trying to “forget” what Trudeau confessed on video about the funds between media/politicians.
I disagree. The presence of reporters and media organizations on Twitter is what lends Twitter any credibility. If they go, so does the credibility. After the media leave, next go the general public. What will be left are the navel-gazing conspiracy theorists... from both sides.
Wow, the comments section is actually open on this one...
CBC should follow NHK's lead and get funds directly from the people without a government middle man. All these problems would go away then.
yep...they would go broke inside of a week.
The way you guys report on left leaning issues versus right leaning issues literally says it all.
I don’t care if you’re left leaning. Just don’t pretend to be neutral when you’re not. And don’t use my tax dollars to do it.
All government funding is from the public. I guess it sounds better when it sounds like the taxes are voluntary 😅
It‘s different, VOA is government founded, it was governed by government departments , but there is no government department governing public media.
Let's see (emphasis added): "Government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and **MAY** have **varying degrees** of government involvement over editorial content."
CBC may have editorial control, but you lack logic and reasoning to go with it
2/3 is a huge amount to be funded by the parliament/government/taxpayer money.
The Canadian Media Fund gives $750 million annually and only 5% of that is given by corporations the rest is from the Federal government. Which means yes you are a Government Funded Agency and your credibility is no different than that of any Russian or China state owned agency.
Oh I’m surprised comments are enabled
Looks like it's time to sign up for twitter
What's the matter, CBC? Afraid of the truth? Tells a lot about your journalists.
Do accurate labels have a part in our democracy?
Now pause on TH-cam and across Canadian homes
State funded.
You either are, or you are not. Perception matters when it comes to a media outlet. This looks really bad if you have been honest or not and you have not.
CBC used to be all about what Canadians where doing and thinking...now its all about what Canadians should be doing and thinking! The fact your whining about where you get your money from proves my point.
Awkward. Yes, it’s true.
The coverage of the freedom convoy by CBC clearly showed who pays the bills at CBC. Don't even try to argue that.
If you think it was a "freedom convoy" then you have issues. All it was was an I hate Trudeau convoy, it had nothing to do with "freedom"
@@therealhiesenberg2731 Real truckers didn't have time for that nonsense -- they were to busy moving freight (and had their vaccines, because that was required to be allowed to cross the border).
They weren't too happy with the posers in the convoy who had the chutzpah to claim to represent them.
@DSP's Famous Finish I watched hours of live-streamed unedited coverage. CBC misrepresented it. They should not have used their air horns. But they corrected this error in judgement. But when the greater responsibility falls on the those with greater authority. Why didn’t Trudeau just speak to them? Why did he demand the government violate their bodily autonomy, (when they work isolation) with a vaccine mandate in the first place? What choice did they have when faced with losing their livelihoods? They had better things to do, but they obviously felt backed into a corner. Whether you agree with them or not. Canadians standing up for their charter rights? Imagine that?
@DSP's Famous Finish Didn't the CBC try to make the convoy look like a Neo-N@zi mob because there was ONE guy spotted with a swastika? That's pretty damning.
@@bernardkung7306 I'm a real trucker(40years) and no I didn't go but never in my life have I ever been more proud to be Canadian than during the trucker protest.
CBC days are numbered. You know it and many have known this for years. Long overdue.
If you're going to put up a video announcing why you're leaving, I hope you'll put up a video explaining why you're coming back (when you absolutely do). It's very brave and inspiring to see an entire organization have a hissy fit. Can we put the adults back in charge sometime soon, please?
Is this false information by Twitter? If is not. That is a very good thing, transparence is good for the society.
Andrew: Are you reporting on the National Citizens Inquiry and the harmful effects of our federal government's covid-19 policies? Or is our "publicly-funded" media ignoring that topic that people are (or should be) talking about because it would not meet the approval of certain politicians and editors?

If you want the designation as public funded, then the public should decide who is funded not the government.
The CBC is a public broadcaster. There is nothing wrong with being labeled "Government Funded media.". Everyone should be aware of this whenever they view news articles from this organization.
There is because if you watched the video it is explained how there's an appreciable difference between funding allocated by a government and funding allocated by parliament.
