Defunding the CBC would have devastating effects on all of Canada. Welcome to the world of corporate sponsored misinformation. Remember, this is what the CPC is campaigning on.
This among other major reasons why the current federal polling looks so scary. If the current numbers actually bear out in an election we will be monumentally fucked. Perhaps permanently. I keep telling myself that there are large swings during election campaigns to make myself feel better but there's a part at the back of my brain that is screaming.
If you'd read the article, you'd have seen the "rural communities in particular".
I'm not sure where this is 'corporate sponsored[sic] misinformation', since
This part is easy to agree with as we have a wealth of trending that points to double-talk and misinformation. In fact, the last paragraph of the article includes an example of Conservative false-equivalence.
I think you grossly misunderstood me. To be fair, I can see how, and should have been more clear.
I was attempting to insinuate that defunding the CBC is our route to corporate sponsered misinformation taking it's place in entirety.
This is perhaps the issue with taking a paragraph and breaking it into its smaller parts, addressing each one in a vaccum. Taken as a whole, it's pretty clear if I am defending the CBC and therefore, it's likely that I do not think this article, specifically, is misinformation. I am simply adding to the headline that all of Canada is in trouble, not just rural Canada. Yes, this is a fact which is stated in the article, and I never disputed otherwise. I just wanted to emphasize that point as people have a tendency to read headlines and move on.
