A veteran CBC journalist who worked as a TV and radio producer and occasional on-air commentator said Monday she quit the state-funded broadcaster last month because its “radical political agenda” made it impossible to do good journalism."

It's important to note that Henley identifies as 'left'.  

There are a lot of left- politics folks who are finding that the identity-politics purity tests are a dead end.  Personally, if they really cared they would be calling out our PM for his atrocious misdeeds in this arena and publicizing folks who would want him to resign.

You might find it interesting that Henley posted on this matter at her substack. It starts like this:

Why I resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Quote

For months now, I’ve been getting complaints about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where I’ve worked as a TV and radio producer, and occasional on-air columnist, for much of the past decade.

People want to know why, for example, non-binary Filipinos concerned about a lack of LGBT terms in Tagalog is an editorial priority for the CBC, when local issues of broad concern go unreported. Or why our pop culture radio show’s coverage of the Dave Chappelle Netflix special failed to include any of the legions of fans, or comics, that did not find it offensive. Or why, exactly, taxpayers should be funding articles that scold Canadians for using words such as “brainstorm” and “lame.”

Everyone asks the same thing: What is going on at the CBC?
