Headlines featuring Harris referred to the VP pick as “making history” and “revolutionary,” while mentions of Lewis included headlines about how she “sells herself” to social conservatives and what she would do if “she doesn’t win” the race.

CBC’s imbalanced coverage of the two historic candidacies seems to contradict its mandate as set out in the 1991 Broadcasting Act.

According to the Act, CBC programming should “be predominantly and distinctively Canadian, reflect Canada and its regions to national and regional audiences, while serving the special needs of those regions.”
