A pair of Conservative MPs will try to compel a CBC executive and a journalism standards director to appear before a House of Commons committee to defend the company's language guide β€” which discourages the use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorists" when describing attacks and their perpetrators.

This is the entire problem that the right has with the CBC wrapped up in a tidy package. It is centrist, slightly left biased, highly factual, professional journalism. The CBC is internationally respected. The right hates that. The right hates the truth. The right hates neutrality. The only reason the CBC is seen as left biased is that the extreme right has pulled the center to the the right. They can't force the CBC to become a right wing propaganda network like Fox "News" so they want to destroy it.

When your voter base is used to the Toronto Sun, with a page-one dominated by headlines like "TEEN KILLED BY PERV TOT!" in 72-point bold type (followed by the obligatory T&A on page three), it makes standards seem like "bias".
