Enright isn't a raving right winger, like most talking heads and bingo callers on the CBC these days he's a middle of the road liberal. In other words he can be polite to the right and the left but still annoy them both. Since the mid 1980's the CBC has been doing stellar work as the unofficial government apologist under Conservative and Liberal right wing regimes.

He's not nearly as bad as some of the yahoos that pass for urine-alists on the private networks here; CTV, and Global, both of which now have hard wired connections to the right and far right wing newspapers, the Globe and Mail and National Post/Southam chain respectively.

Besides, Enright pissed of the Catholics a few years back when he (to paraphrase) called the Catholic church on of the most corrupt, criminal organizations in history. He eventually backed down and apologized. Not a hallmark action of most right wingers I know on, apologizing for accuracy that is. Now if we were talking about Michael Coren......
