If you read the article you linked, you'll see at the bottom that News Network is not allowed to receive public funds due to rules by the CRTC.

You'll also see that even the CBC acknowledges that News Network benefits from the other CBC services that do receive funds, but that it doesn't mean that News Network is publicly funded.

It quite literally says, "As such, while CBC News Network does not receive public funds directly, it does, in fact, operate using publicly-funded resources.".

We can split hairs, but they were not being very transparent or honest.

Seems pretty transparent and honest to me.

It would be if the CBC said it, but they didn't. They said the opposite. What I quoted was what the report uncovered.

I guess you can keep on whining then.
