Let me start with a general comment. If you go into journalism, I assume it's the same as when you go into politics--it's a little because you are idealistic and want to change your world, to have a better world. So when you want to have a better world, in a sense, you're going to be a little more militant--and I'm saying that in a positive sense.
I don't believe those who say that CBC journalists are more leftist than other journalists, and that they are so different from the rest of society. Having said that, if you go into journalism, you're a little militant.
I'll give you the results of a survey we did, a colleague and me, at the end of the nineties. We interviewed 500 journalists across Canada in all the media. We found that the CBC journalists, en termes d'engagement politique, not partisanship, but in terms of “Are you more on the left or on the right”, are not so different from other journalists in other media. That's what our survey found ten years ago now.
