-I don’t think there is any bias and no obvious sponsors since there are no ads on the page. And I searched the Wikipedia, it said: “CBC’s federal funding is supplemented by revenue from commercial advertising on its television broadcasts. The radio service employed commercials from its inception to 1974, but since its primary radio networks have been commercial-free. In 2013, CBC’s secondary radio networks, CBC Music and Ici Musique, introduced limited advertising of up to four minutes an hour, but this was discontinued in 2016.” I think it is peer reviewed because she is from CBC (a big Corporation). Her diction was methodical and fair. Affiliations: The author covers science and technology for CBC News– The author is an insider.
