Safe to say he agrees with everything that mid level derp tells him, especially if that mid level derp latches onto an alpha derp. Kind of how that ecosystem works with regard to "information."

You really shocked at this? This is how people made billions and billions off the passive common folk that want to hear this type of messaging. Great business model.

It is the disgusting lies smeered by the Poilievre that the CBC is somehow not news but instead manipulative, disinformation and Trudeau propaganda. When pressed you seem to realize all of these statements are lies, but it shouldn't take a dozen posts.

The funny thing with this half-way-to-Poilievre type claims is that the CBC is almost crippled with its "all sides" type of false neutrality. They are far more likely to have representatives from each party or quotes form each party and uncritically gives each of those sort of equal representation and legitimacy, even when one side - like Poilievre - is clearly and egregiously lying.

It's politics
I remember you being silent when Justin was calling folks racist about Chinese interference in the election or your silence when he blamed the conservatives for the resignations at the Trudeau Foundation or when he called protesters Nazis and other things

The only way to distinguish the two is the amount of bias it publish.
Thinking cbc is as much bias then Fox News and others , for political purposes is totally wrong .

And having a warning for cbc but not on fox for bias or manipulated information just because it get some funding from the government while the private sector isn’t subject to the same problem because it’ s funded by the private sector is totally unfair and a joke .
It should be judge first by the content .

I mean just look at politics in the US and tell me the private sector do not hold big chunk of the politics agenda ….

Ps: it’s funny in foxnews some anchors said they don’t believe in their crazy stories -> what u think it means if it’s not thinking their viewers are crazy themselves for asking even more garbage ….

We agree the difference is that the US networks are not funded by the government

Do you think the CBC is neutral news ?

Sorry, you're boy got caught red handed telling outrageous lies about the CBC. You agreed they were not true when you incorrectly presumed the quotes were from Musk. But the minute you were informed the quotes you agreed were not true came from Poilievre you do WHATABOUTTRUDEAU.

See the difference between myself and some like yourself your quiet when your leader lies repeatedly, abuses the justice system. Heck this week he lied about what one of his ministers said

I'll take Pierre Polliviere over Justin Trudeau any day and I'll call him out for his mistakes .

So yup a whataboutism sometimes you got to use them

What about if Hunter had a picture of Trudeau on his laptop. You can use that to compare to any historical crime against humanity!

I believe cbc is far less bias and do far less misinformation then foxnews and other medias like them while u think it’s the same …

Fwiw I think u often confuses slight bias with extrem , like a binary switch .
U don’t seem to acknowledge there is vast amount of grey area in between and u do it on many subjects .

I am sure a company that survives by being 70% government funded would have no bias toward the party in power when the other party wants to defund them. Thats how human nature works right.

Every news outlet will have some bias towards its major funded partners .
Do u really think that bias do not exist in the «free » private sector news outlet as well ?

But cbc as the luxury to expose bs from the party In power because party changes and they can’t cut at will the funded cbc.
It’s funny actually u don’t see cbc as an asset to go against tyrannical government just because u don’t like how sometimes they sound in relating news .

Conspiracy theories is a hell of a drug .

Oh, that Elon...what a card! 69%..teeheehee. All the 16 year old boys in the Twitterverse will be very impressed.

What a fantastic CEO. Oh wait, he had a poll a last year and said he'd abide by the results, didn't he? Gosh, I hope whoever the CEO is now won't be too upset with that oh-so-funny joke at CBC's expense.

If Shifty's derpy political party somehow won the federal election would that mean that overnight the CBC would be biased toward them? Or would he need to wait until Musk tells him what to believe? How does that process work?

Canada wouldn’t be the same without the CBC. That’s why Justin Trudeau and the Liberals invested $675 million in funding to revitalize the CBC.

Ah, so if the alpha derp removed the tag then even though nothing else changed the organization would no longer be biased? Well, that is how passive consumption of content works I suppose.

All the best.

You should short Twitter. Another way to monetize owning the "derps". Could easily short it and buy another house betting against the "derps".

Twitter is now a private company (with massive debt), so no way to buy/short shares, since no more shares exist to do that with. Amusing that you did not know that given your hero worship of Musk. Thus, I will have to monetize derps by other means for now, though I do like how they have paid for many things over the years, no secret on that, though I never pretend to be able to monetize them like the alpha or even mid level derps do to their own kind with the content they produce for the common derps.

All the best.
