  1. Sure, reporters are not infallible and often have know real knowledge of the subject they are reporting. They don't intentionally lie, like FOX. My field was aviation and I cringe at some of the aviation related reporting I see but at the same time, there is no intent to misinform.
  2. It isn't just the CBC, it's all public broadcasters. Maybe you should be a little more critical of everyones motives, not just public broadcasters.
  3. I agree that cable news is not a good source unless you are willing to fact check their claims. But you should do that with any source if something doesn't ring a bell or seems too good to be true.
  4. Yes, that’s all he tags because he is just expressing his dislike for government. He doesn’t care about whether anything is factual.
  5. Why haven't they been sued already? Time to put up or shut up.
  6. This is on CBC site this morning. Is it Liberal boosting? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/freeland-disney-plus-1.6815024 Lots of negative comments allowed as well.
  7. Defamation is about what you say, not what you don't say. FOX just found that out. The other networks already knew it.
  8. The CEO of Dominion wouldn't let his kids answer the door because of death threats, which incidentally were increasing as this case went along. That's two and a half years of death threats from the stop the steal fanatics, egged on by your buddy Tucker and his fellow liars.
  9. Of course not, that's why this is a political statement, not an attempt to inform. It's just Elon expressing his own dislike of government, nothing more.
  10. No, they don’t care if it is fake, just if it is government funded.
  11. There is an expectation that FOX shareholders will now sue FOX management.
  12. CNN and MSNBC may lean left but they don't intentionally lie and that was what this is all about. This is the biggest media defamation settlement in history by far. Dominion got ten times its market valuation. More to come with the other suits against FOX. The faithful will continue to tune in because FOX won't address this at all on their shows. If the FOX faithful want to learn anything about they will have to look elsewhere.
  13. FOX settles for $787.5 million. Smartmatic must be rubbing their hands with glee.
  14. The practice of only flagging sources with government funding is that they are suspect but everything else is not.
  15. The act prevents government interference, the CBC editorial staff can tell the government and its board to pound sand if they try and interfere.
  16. How do people discover that FOX and CNN are bias? Who is paying for their bias and what is their agenda? Who are they accountable to other than an audience. We have already seen FOX lie like bandits so as not to offend their audience.
  17. We are seeing that in the anti women, anti LGBTQ legislation.
  18. Chaired by Jim Jordan, Congressman for Ohio. Intentional Homicide rate per 100K population Ohio 9.3 New York 4.8 Firearms injury and death rate per 100K population Ohio 16.5 New York 5.4 Columbus Ohio homicide rate per 100K population 16.28 New York City homicide rate per 100K population 3.39
  19. I did read the OP. Your whole premise is that government funding must be flagged because of bias, yet bias because of private funding is not worth mentioning. No wonder people are so easily manipulated.
  20. In your opinion. Control over media is the question. Why do you assume it only comes from government?
  21. The Broadcasting Act stipulates that government cannot interfere with CBC editorial independence. There is no such restriction on private broadcasting.
  22. Yes it is so why do you just assume advertisers don't influence content.
