MacroCycloThis sub is entirely CBC
SpaceCowboyUnfortunately, the CBC is kinda the only game in town for news media for a lot of Canada.
In Canada it's basically PostMedia, the Thomson family, and CBC. I think the Toronto Star is under different ownership than the rest, but lately The Star has been indistinguishable from PostMedia. And out of those only PostMedia and CBC cover local news stories. PostMedia has cut back on staff so much and are trying to do the Rupert Murdoch thing (so aren't trustworthy).
So that leaves us with the CBC. This is what the death of traditional media looks like I suppose. Only sources of news are either government funded or are grifters. And some like PostMedia are government funded grifters.
Not good to only have government funded media be the only source of news, but there really aren't other viable options.
I think we just lack honesty in medias biases overall. CBC has a liberal biases , NP and Toronto Star has a neo Conservative biases . Having both is healthy . Having extremist calling for blood and conspiracy and sharing fake news is bad.
Also , sharing columnists’ opinions is not sharing news and we have to acknowledge that. Those are just opinions .
Yeah, there should be “no editorials” rule. Our comments are the editorials.
