Literally all media is biased. They are products of people and all people are biased. I'm biased, you're biased, everyone is. Your job as the consumer of the media is to recognize the bias and get your information from multiple sources and then balance out the bias to the best of your ability. It's an imperfect system, but it is what it is. If you only listen to sources of information that you like, then what the hell is the point?
Was the CBC a biased propaganda wing of Harper when he was PM?
What if PP doesn't defund the CBC if he become PM? Will the CBC then be a propagandist wing of his government?
All media is biased regardless of if it receives funding from the government. Just because the CBC receives funding does not mean it's biased for Trudeau. The fact that you think that is both hilarious and scary.
I'm sorry but I can't take anyone seriously when they say the things your saying. Claiming Trudeau somehow controls the media in this country is way out there.
I mean, you're going on about media bias, and accuse me of lapping up the 'legacy' media bias, yet you appear to be a massive PP supporter but you had no idea of the terrible comments he made about residential school survivors? Where are you getting your information from? You'd think you'd know everything there is to know about a guy you so strongly support? What are your biases?
You just keep digging deeper down the populist/Trump hole here. Don't get mad when people think PP is a Trumpian-populist, it's literally how you're painting him with the things you're saying.
But go ahead, keep digging. I thought you'd want more people to support PP, hence why I advised a more balanced approach. Like maybe talk about how he'd be great for job creation, or something. But you just keep digging down these rabbit holes and worsening how people will ultimately view him.
I think if PP is going to win the next federal election he needs to do it on a positive vision for Canada's future, not just because Trudeau is a doofus. So, I'd think it would be in his best interest and his supporters best interest if they dropped the "woke", "radical", "fake news", crap and just focus on positive governance proposals. You know, real things that everyday people care about.
