@terryenglish that's one way of not blaming CBC
@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.
