Who would be surprised that the CBC cleared its own “reporter” of working with the Liberals?

ummm…I’m not sure cleared would be the best way to describe this. Carlin said she shouldn’t have planted the question. Period.

He said she doesn’t have a good understanding of the journalistic policies and practices, but places some of the blame on management for not having a written policy on planting questions and for hiring someone into that position who doesn’t have a good grasp of the policy. He noted that unlike most reporters on the hill, she wasn’t a national reporter somewhere else or even spent much time out in the field as a reporter.
