I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a news organization to do their jobs and have basic journalistic standards. And when they fail to do so, there's no reason to to share their content when there's articles available on the same subject from news organizations that do have journalistic standards. We're in an era of misinformation and distinformation and articles like the postmedia one just promotes a general ignorance of media literacy. People think it's normal for news articles to not indicate where they're getting their information from and think discrepancies between media sources is due to political bias. If we demand all media sources indicate something about their sources then the scammy click bait crap not doing so will be more likely to trigger alarm bells for not doing any due diligence.

Postmedia's laziness is just normalizing the degradation of journalistic standards and that creates distrust in media. Their unwillingness to pay real journalists or pay licensing fees to wire services like Reuters (who will pay real journalists) is siphoning off scarce funds away from journalism. They're a cancer on news journalism.

As I noted in my initial response: the article has links in it.

Anyway putting all that aside, I'd be interested to know what you think we should do regarding the F-35s. Would you be upset if Carney went ahead with the purchase?
