The CBC's disconnect with normal people can be demonstrated in one heavily redact, 423-page Access to Information investigation into the viewer reaction to convicted terrorist Omar Khadr's appearance on the CBC French language talk show Tout Le Monde En Parle.

In this exclusive set of Access to Information documents, I'll show you how that the CBC received “quite a bit of blowback” for hosting Khadr and how they appear to be redacting out a description used in many of the complaint emails sent — the description that Khadr is a terrorist.
