No, from things like "The Ezra Levant Comedy Show". Things by people pretending they know what 'journalism is, and standards they hold themselves to. (unlike, the CBC)

I read it. It's an opinion piece. And all it whinged about was how the writer doesn't like the programming on air, while lamenting cuts to programming they enjoyed, and ignoring who cut the lost funding for that programming they enjoyed. They simply blame CBC for their own budget cuts, and misrepresenting the programming to boot!
I regularly listen to The Current and Sunday edition over the decades, and not once have I heard them turn into a "graduate school humanities seminars on identity liberalism, encouraging listeners to view themselves in terms of victimization and identity politics and against the growing greed of the business class". In fact, it would be funny if two shows on different days of the week written by different people were even on the same subject that narrowly defined.
But what does any of it have to do with government interference in Journalism at the CBC, which you were claiming?

South Dakota Law Requires Every Public School to Display “In God We Trust” National Motto
July 26 2019 1:17 PM
South Dakota public schools are in the process of complying with a new state law that went into effect this month requiring the U.S. national motto “In God We Trust” to be posted in a prominent location where students are “most likely to see” it in each of the state’s 149 school districts. “The display may take the form of a mounted plaque, student artwork, or any other appropriate form as determined by the school principal,” the law reads. “The display shall be easily readable and may be no smaller than twelve inches wide by twelve inches high.”
Both chambers of the South Dakota state legislature are heavily Republican, allowing state lawmakers to easily pass the bill earlier this year. In March, the state’s Republican governor Kristi Noem signed the bill into law mandating that the motto to be posted for the 2019-2020 school year. The language of the law doesn’t provide funds for schools to erect the new display, but it does guarantee financial and legal assistance to any school or district that faces lawsuits over the religious motto that appears to violate the separation of church and state. It is a strange message to send in the text of the a law that the state will not only represent you but cover monetary damages incurred from complying with the law.

Video of man taunting mom, daughter with slurs prompts more worries about racial tensions in Quebec
In the video, the man bends down to meet the child at eye level and makes a lewd sexual remark about her mother.
A white man accosted an Arabic-speaking woman and her two-year-old daughter earlier this week, uttering racial slurs and sexually violent threats in broad daylight on a Montreal street.
The incident, caught on cellphone video and circulating widely online, has contributed to growing concerns that Quebec's new religious symbols law has provided licence for the public expression of hatred.
The woman in the video was walking her daughter home from a daycare in the Ahunstic-Cartierville district Tuesday afternoon when a man expressed dismay at hearing her speaking Arabic.
"I told him, 'The language I speak doesn't concern you,'" the woman said Thursday in an interview. CBC News agreed to withhold her identity for safety reasons.
She said the man was further enraged by her comment. He made racist remarks and moved toward the woman and her daughter, raising his hand in a threatening manner.
At that moment, another woman who was leaving the daycare intervened and began recording the interaction. CBC News has agreed to protect that woman's identity as well for safety reasons.
WARNING: The following story video contains graphic language.
CBC has removed the audio of the man addressing the child. 0:29
In the video, the man can be heard calling one of the women a "slut." He also lurches towards the two-year-old, bending down to meet her at eye level and making a lewd sexual remark about her mother.
The child can be heard crying.
"The reason he chose to attack us was clearly xenophobia and racism," said the second woman, who also speaks Arabic. Neither woman wears a visible religious symbol.
After the man began walking away, both women witnessed him utter another racist comment directed at a woman wearing a hijab.
Montreal police said they have identified the man and are investigating.
Emboldened by new law?
The woman said her daughter hasn't been able to sleep since the altercation. The girl came into her bedroom Tuesday night, worried about the "mean man," the woman said.
"She is afraid," the woman said of her daughter. "She doesn't quite understand the words that were said, but she knows someone was threatening her and her mother."
The woman believes the man's behaviour was encouraged by the religious symbols law that was passed last month.
"I don't think he would have approached me before the new government's law."

That view was echoed by Shaheen Ashraf, a spokesperson for the Montreal chapter of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women.
"Mr. Legault and his government have enabled these people to come out of the woodwork and harass Muslim women," Ashraf said.
The law, formerly known as Bill 21, bars authority figures — including public schoolteachers — from wearing religious symbols at work.
Though the legislation doesn't single out a particular religion, minority groups say Muslim women will be disproportionately affected.
During parliamentary hearings in the spring, several groups and experts warned the Coalition Avenir Québec government that the measures it was proposing were likely to stigmatize minorities in the province.

A government-funded group of public health specialists submitted evidence suggesting the law could encourage more public displays of racial hatred.
Last week, a Quebec City man, Karim Smaini, posted a video to YouTube, recounting how he was stabbed outside a convenience store after being called "goddamned immigrant."
He, too, blamed the new law for heightening racial tensions in the province.
"It's a very bad, unhealthy ambience," Smaini told CBC News earlier this week.
Premier's office reacts
In a statement Friday morning, Premier François Legault's office maintained there is no link between the incident depicted in the video and the government's new secularism law.
About the video circulating online, the release said: "We firmly denounce these terrible actions. Hate, racism and intolerance do not have a place in our society."
In a tweet, Liberal MNA Marie Montpetit, who represents the Montreal neighbourhood where the woman and her daughter were attacked, called the video "troubling."
The Montreal woman who was accosted on the sidewalk this week said she decided to speak publicly in an effort to improve the deteriorating social climate in the province.
"I'm not doing this just for my girl. I'm doing this for all minority children because what kind of society are we going to have in the future," she said.
"I want to make people aware of where we're going with all this."

"The reason he chose to attack us was clearly xenophobia and racism,"
One thing is missing here though, because clearly he chose to go after a woman and a child. I doubt this “macho” defender of the poor, distressed white man would have chosen to attack a six foot, twenty something man .

Immigration Officials Snatch 9-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Heading To School, Hold Her For 2 Days
$1:
A 9-year-old American citizen on her way to school was apprehended by U.S. immigration officials and detained for some 32 hours before she was released back to her family. Federal officials said later that the girl, who was carrying a U.S. passport card with her, gave “inconsistent information.”
“I was scared. I didn’t have my mom or my brother. I was completely by myself,” Julia Isabel Amparo Medina told NBC-7 TV in San Diego.
Medina, her 14-year-old brother and two friends were being driven to school by the friends’ mom from their home in Tijuana to San Ysidro last Monday. Thousands of people travel through the Tijuana-San Ysidro crossing daily for school or work.
When traffic slowed to a crawl, the mom told the children to walk across the border so they wouldn’t be late. An official detained Medina, saying she didn’t look like the photo on her passport card.
They finally released her Tuesday evening about 32 hours later. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that the girl, whom they confirmed is an American citizen, “provided inconsistent information during her inspection,” which they didn’t elaborate. She was taken into custody so officers could “perform due diligence in confirming her identity and citizenship,” according to the statement.
Officials had no explanation for why the process took 32 hours or why the 9-year-old was in custody the entire time.
Medina’s brother, who is also a U.S. citizen, said officials initially accused him of human trafficking and demanded he sign a paper saying that his sister was really his cousin.
“He was told that he would be taken to jail and they were going to charge him for human trafficking and sex trafficking,” Julia’s mom, Thelma Galaxia, told NBC.
