Yep I’m aware of the laws, and this is addressing Cappy too but at the end of the day wherever the funding comes from is what drives outcomes. And yes my opinion on that is sufficient for me based on my experiences in life and also I guess common sense, but if we’d all like to pretend that there’s no implicit guidance (operative word implicit) to report news under a set tone and with some (unconscious) bias that’s okay too. I’m just not sure why people would be surprised at when the obvious is pointed out.

There’s actually quite a few examples over time and I think Firebot has done a good job of demonstrating this plus the latest stories coming out from some of the journalists talking about internal pressure etc. I’m sure everyone’s just making everything up and the CBC is the most centrist and detached from the government enterprise ever though!

Also have you ever made one post on this website without insulting people?I actually don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
