Just turned on CBC News Network Live and they were talking about how “by far” Melania’s hat is getting the most attention of the day.
I’m so tired of our media. Trump issued at least 26 executive orders, Elon did the nazi salute multiple times, Trump commented on tariffs… but we have to talk about this hat!
For what it’s worth, Wikipedia’s news section seems highly factual and not editorialized. It shouldn’t be this hard to get news though.
CBC has slid very far to the right in the past year. Loads of anti-union, anti-electrification, pro-landlord, pro-privatization stuff. I’m not sure if they are trying to butter up the incoming government or if they just realized that rage-bait gets more clicks.
On the radio side, I think part of it is lazy/scared journalism. Rather than learning enough about a topic to find credible experts, journalists are doing the bOtH sIdEs thing, or worse, just using “experts” suggested in press releases.

I was pretty disappointed on the Canada Post strike coverage all being about how much this is hurting businesses and the holidays.
