CBC was flooded with angry emails after former host Travis Dhanraj told MPs he was instructed to keep Conservatives off the air, according to Access to Information records. In discussing his March 10 committee testimony, one manager said: “We don’t hit the mark in every story.”

A Blacklock’s Reporter report detailed strong public reaction to Dhanraj’s testimony, with largely negative views of the public broadcaster.
