Well, the CBC is a crown corporation, which means that it is esentially owned by the government (or possibly the queen, or perhaps every Canadian, I'm not really sure). Anyway, it is partially funded by the federal government, which has for the most part been the Liberals (kinda the Canadian version of the Democrats) who are in power the majority of the time. Also, the shows like 22 min have a noticible lean towards the left. That leads extreme right wingers to claim that it is the 'Communist' (Liberal) governement that is trying to brainwash the population using the CBC.
