@terryenglish I mean, all those rural saskatchewan farmers are *definitely* represented by BET^WCBC.

@terryenglish and it's not like prairie conservatives have to go to court to get access to press events or something, oh wait https://www.rebelnews.com/victory_rebel_news_wins_case_eleven_journalists_federal_leaders_debates

@terryenglish and what saskatchewan farmers definitely want to have piped into their speakers during daytime hours is a cringey discussion about playing with sex toys followed by inuit rap music. That's definitely how to get them to not turn off the radio.

@terryenglish and, the icing on the cake:
turning off comments on facebook, which tons of people in saskatchewan use, so that you can't really send them a comment telling them you don't like their content without filling out a 27B-Stroke-6 form

@jeffcliff I see CBC news is biased and divisive but Rebel News isn't. 😂

@terryenglish the difference is that one of these two institutions pulls in megadollars of taxpayer subsidies

if people choose rebel media's bias, that's their problem and they should seek therapy for it on their own dime

@jeffcliff The CBC is somewhat odd in that they are partially publicly funded. They are not 100% corporate and reliant and advertiser dollars which in my opinion is a good thing and allows them to do stories that conventional corporate media won't do.

@terryenglish yet despite this, they wind up being more or less 100% pro-corporate anyway. I mean, they are nice to have around in theory, but in practice what they've used their power for is to spread propaganda, destroy canadian cultural artifacts, silence canadian voices, and undermine canadian culture anywhere where it might actually pose a threat to the RIAA/MPAA/US full spectrum dominance.
