Reply #5: CBC commentators don't know anything special

[daleo]

They are Harper's employees for now, so I think they are generally pretty careful not to say anything that might get them in hot water. That doesn't mean that they are pro-Harper, but their position does compromise them somewhat.

That being said, Harper has generally managed to get his way with the RCMP and other levers of state power. Perhaps this will be the same, but I hope not.
