The Rebel fills a niche. It is very similar to Breitbart in that respect. Then they ratchet up the antagonism and vitriol to 11.

There wouldn't be nearly as much of a market for this type of outlet if organizations like the CBC painted a more balanced picture of certain issues. They are their own worst enemy in this case.
