When Herr Harper cut a lot of their funding CBC changed into trying to emulate private media with these political clickbait pieces and celebrity gossip to boost income, haven't seen it since. When I grew up in 80s/90s they would have fascinating documentaries by real scientists most of those disappeared or became political too.

Herr Harper private media political clickbait celebrity gossip real scientists political too

The shibboleth speaks!

But in all seriousness this is, in so many words, exactly what I was describing.

To be fair to the CBC, they were very critical of Harper from the start, even before the funding cuts.
