You’re gonna hate me for this

2021-01-05 19:25:35 UTC  

Probably CBC

2021-01-05 19:25:48 UTC  

(Canadian BBC)

2021-01-05 19:26:39 UTC  

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?

2021-01-05 19:26:58 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:27:11 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:27:25 UTC  

And I trust their information in most cases

2021-01-05 19:27:33 UTC  

Wait, so its a different rubric for the CBC?

2021-01-05 19:27:41 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:27:47 UTC  

You can go look that up

2021-01-05 19:27:57 UTC  

But I would consider the CBC to be very trustworthy

2021-01-05 19:28:30 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:29:21 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:31:56 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:32:20 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:35:15 UTC  

Is you a dumb

2021-01-05 19:35:21 UTC  

CBC not BBC

2021-01-05 19:35:24 UTC  

Also

2021-01-05 19:35:29 UTC  

I’m not surprised

2021-01-05 19:35:38 UTC  

same difference

2021-01-05 19:35:44 UTC  

It really isn’t

2021-01-05 19:35:48 UTC  

Apples to oranges

2021-01-05 19:35:54 UTC  

Is ABC the same too?

2021-01-05 19:35:58 UTC  

Obviously not

2021-01-05 19:36:34 UTC  

all singing from the same hymnal

2021-01-05 19:36:43 UTC  

How?

2021-01-05 19:37:19 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:37:30 UTC  

lol

2021-01-05 19:37:43 UTC  

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.

2021-01-05 19:38:21 UTC  

There are competing media companies in Canada tho

2021-01-05 19:38:26 UTC  

Global News being one

2021-01-05 19:38:41 UTC  

That funds TFI global btw

2021-01-05 19:38:52 UTC  

CTV news being another

2021-01-05 19:39:06 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:39:06 UTC  

TVA being another

2021-01-05 19:39:23 UTC  

That’s with all/most media now

2021-01-05 19:39:37 UTC  

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

2021-01-05 19:39:58 UTC  

Here is the CBC coverage of Tiannamen Square:

Tell me what you think.

2021-01-05 19:40:13 UTC  

Epoch Times is founded and funded by the Falun Gong, that is literally a cult
