I do not have any inside information about this story, but I do know several people who work at the CBC on different shows. Now, they do not work Canada Tonight. But, they think many of his allegations are bullshit. That being said, executive producers have a lot of say over their shows, so it is possible his experiences are different. But, considering the number of conservatives who are on CBC News Channel every day, or the politics show....And because I know a few of those at the CBC are Conservative (as in, early 2000 - 2015 Conservative), they don't agree with this idea that there isn't diversity of thought.
Also, I find it interesting DesRicardo only seemed to know about the story since the Sun posted it....when even the CBC covered it back in early July....
CBC denies the accusations made by the former host of “Canada Tonight,” who has been on leave since at least February.
