I could use anything to look for Tiananmen Square but it’s accuracy I couldn’t necessarily judge since I’m not too well learned on that subject

This is a rundown of the massacre at Tiannamen Square.

History.com is a website that just reports on historical events. If you had to get a rundown of events from a news company, who would you use as a source.

You’re gonna hate me for this

Probably CBC

(Canadian BBC)

I don't hate people, too much wasted energy. So you would use CBC to get information about the Tiannamen Square Massacre? Does the CBC meet your association requirements that you place on the Epoch Times?

CBC has been proven to be trustworthy and accurate many many a times

It’s one of the best news organizations in the country

And I trust their information in most cases

Wait, so its a different rubric for the CBC?

(I don’t like to look at opinion pieces)

You can go look that up

But I would consider the CBC to be very trustworthy

So you judge by the articles and not who invest/runs it?

State run media rarely gets praise here. But I guess there is a first for everything.

I trust it because it’s backers aren’t tyrants or cultists

I’m not too fond of our government but I still trust some information they put out there

"So the evidence from the research is clear. The BBC tends to reproduce a Conservative, Eurosceptic, pro-business version of the world, not a left-wing, anti-business agenda.
>>>>>>>>>>>
among other things, what is hliarious about this article is that most bbc followers are quite of the opposite specturm... imho

Is you a dumb

CBC not BBC

Also

I’m not surprised

same difference

It really isn’t

Apples to oranges

Is ABC the same too?

Obviously not

all singing from the same hymnal

How?

Different funding, different founders, different writers, different values, different nations, different continent, different audience

lol

So @ToxicTransgender the CBC board of directors are highly involved in media as board members or direct owners (ex: Edward W. Boyd and Michael Goldblume). Essentially there isn't competing media companies, since they all run the direction of state media. I think this would fall into that issue you were talking about.

There are competing media companies in Canada tho

Global News being one

That funds TFI global btw

CTV news being another

I'm not saying they're arent, you have a situation where multi-billion dollar company is the arm of state media.

TVA being another

That’s with all/most media now

If we going to discard Epoch times on a "poisonous" association, this seems like it would apply as well.
