The attacks are helping to fuel the chain’s ongoing marketing campaign for the April 18 launch of Sun TV, which is promising “Hard News and Straight Talk.”… As a public broadcaster, the CBC says it goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure its journalism is free of bias… Sun Media has no such restrictions: Indeed, its biases are a part of its appeal.
